Processor fit

This Core i5-7500T is a 35 W quad-core desktop CPU built for compact or quiet systems. It suits office workstations, small-form-factor builds and upgrades that need low heat output without a discrete graphics card.

Thermals and power

The 35 W TDP keeps heat modest under sustained loads so a low-profile cooler stays quiet. Base clocks run at 2.7 GHz and lift to 3.3 GHz when thermal headroom allows. Integrated HD Graphics 630 idles at 350 MHz and peaks at 1.1 GHz for light media tasks.

Memory support

The controller handles DDR4-2133 and DDR4-2400 plus DDR3L-1333 and DDR3L-1600 at 1.35 V. Match the DIMM type to your motherboard to get the right capacity and speed for the workload.

Questions about this item

How do I install this LGA 1151 processor, and which step do people often get wrong?

Align the notches on the Core i5-7500T with the socket keys, lower it gently without forcing, then close the retention lever; the common mistake is skipping the alignment and bending socket pins.

What maintenance or replacement will this 35 W quad-core need later?

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 and memory controller are inside the CPU die, so no separate component wears out; plan to replace thermal paste every few years and clean the cooler fins to keep the 35 W TDP in check.

What limit appears first when this 2.7 GHz base chip runs sustained loads?

The 35 W power envelope caps the maximum turbo of 3.3 GHz, so the processor will throttle to 2.7 GHz or lower once the cooler cannot dissipate heat fast enough during prolonged heavy workloads.
