HP Compaq Elite 8300 Ultra-slim PC i7-3770/8GB/500 GB

Dear members of the community.

(It still has a funny taste for me to write HP/Compaq. My father got fired from the analytical department from HP after the fusion with Compaq after 20 years of employment - just a sidenote)

HP Compaq Elite 8300 Ultra-slim PC has broken down. Its pretty clear that the processor I7-3770 is broken. Now this processor is the last of its range. Hard to find and expensive. The system has no option for further upgrades. It seems not usefull to buy a processor for at least 80 euro for a system wich is worth around 230 - and no possibilities to upgrade anything at all.

Thus I decided to downgrade and make the system a media center.  I just cant find a CPU support list anywhere.

Question1: Can somebody provide me with a CPU support list for this motherboard:

Question2: If a CPU support list is not available can somebody tell me if the Intel Celeron G1610T will fit this system?

Awaiting your responses and with most kind regards,

According to this HP document, you have many choices.

Hi Dave,

All worked out fine. Didnt even had too use a keyboard or mouse. The Elite 8300 Slim recognized the new processor automatically and rebooted. Thank you!
