Upgrade iMac Intel Core i3 CPU to Core i7.

  





This iMac originally came with a 2.8GHz processor, I will upgrade it to the maximum 3.06 GHz processor. Keep in mind that this “example” upgrade is not very economical since the performance gain is only minor. Time and effort involved in replacing an iMac CPU are significant. Even with an upgraded CPU, this early 2008 iMac will not support macOS High Sierra. A lack of SATA III and the inability to upgrade the graphics card severely limits this machine's performance. Having said that, I always enjoyed using this computer! Even at 10 years old it performs well at most everyday tasks. Especially browsing the web, watching movies and so on. On the one hand, this system has a nice large 16:10 display, which is great because most displays today are only 16:9, on the other hand, I found it to strain one’s eyes after prolong use. Some modern displays may be significantly more gentle to your eyes. Also, notice the in my opinion thermal constraints that ever flatter iMac's seem to have. If you can’t open it easily, how will you be able to prevent dust from clogging up your cooling system over time? While the iMac 8,1 uses the "Socket P” unfortunately more powerful quad-core CPU’s such as the "Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300" will not work in this system. Therefore the fastest supported CPU is the “Intel E8435 Core 2 Duo LGA478”.
