LGA 1155 quad-core processor

The Intel Core i5-3470S runs at 2.9 GHz on the LGA 1155 socket. It is a quad-core desktop CPU supplied as a loose accessory. The unit has been tested under load and visually inspected. It suits system builders maintaining or repairing existing LGA 1155 platforms.

Upgrade path and fit

This processor replaces a failed or slower LGA 1155 CPU in compatible motherboards. The performance jump is worthwhile when the current chip limits multitasking or single-thread speed. It is not for builders who need a newer socket, integrated graphics improvements, or higher core counts.

Questions about this item

What socket and mounting pattern does the Intel Core i5-3470S SR0TA use?

It uses an LGA 1155 socket with the standard Intel mounting hole pattern for that socket; any cooler rated for LGA 1155 will attach directly.

What is the first installation step that is often missed with this LGA 1155 processor?

Align the gold triangle on the CPU with the socket triangle before lowering the retention lever; forcing it the wrong way bends the socket pins.
