DELL Inspiron 3737 17R 5737 Motherboard W6XCW i5-4200U 1.60GHz

Genuine Dell OEM Replacement Board

This is a genuine Dell OEM motherboard with an on-board Intel Core i5-4200U processor running at 1.60GHz. It serves as a direct system board replacement for the Inspiron 17R 5737 and Inspiron 17 3737 notebooks. The Dell part number is W6XCW.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The integrated dual-core CPU operates at a base frequency of 1.60GHz within a low-power envelope typical for ultrabook-class notebooks. In normal use the board relies on the laptop's existing cooling solution to manage thermals without excessive fan noise. Power consumption remains consistent with the original system design for balanced battery life.

Upgrade Context and Value

This board replaces a failed or damaged system board in the compatible 17-inch Inspiron models, restoring full functionality with the original i5-4200U processor. The jump is worth it when the existing CPU is soldered and non-upgradable, making a full board swap the only path to a working machine. It is not for buyers seeking a newer processor generation, higher core counts, discrete graphics support or a different form factor.
