Checking compatibility, yes it could work. The Optiplex 790 supports up to an i5-2400, and the Xeon E3 1230 fits within its form factor.

It should function technically, but verify CPU compatibility with your OEM motherboard.

I've verified compatibility, but I noticed several YouTube videos showing the process without the same level of popularity as the older 775 to 771 mods.

The 790 model will not accept Xeons, and any official BIOS release won't support them. Source: been there, done that.

Sorry to hear that, I'm looking for a better option than the expensive i7 2600.

The key term in my response is the only important word you should remember. Whatever you do with that word is your own issue.

It seems you mentioned "official." Could you clarify what you'd like to discuss or explore further?

Based on my research, there doesn't appear to be a bios mod available for the 790.

I’m not sure how to place a cracked BIOS on the piracy scale. Also, it’s been a while since I’ve changed anything like this, and I’m not sure where to start looking.
