If you actually have a decent budget, just sell the whole thing and switch platforms entirely.

aha... thanks for the input.

Glad to hear it... if you believe me. 🤦

Check the official support list on your motherboard's website— just look for any quad-core FM1 chip because the specs are basically identical. An Intel Core i5-2400 would work fine too if you're using a dedicated graphics card, so there's no need to overspend. If they're hard to find or just way too pricey, honestly, just swap out the whole platform. Sell what you've got and move on.

Wait, they aren't even being sold anymore?

Hey everyone, sorry if I'm double posting here, but I couldn't find a thread for this...😵😵
I'm hunting for this Intel Core i3 processor (sFM1). I've been scouring stores around Chicago, but I can't seem to track one down anywhere. If anyone knows where I can snag one, please let me know!😉
