I tried to upgrade my mac mini to Core 2 Duo 2.0GHZ (T5750) but it didnt work. I dont think it's dead.

After that I put the old CPU back and it's working.

Whats wrong. It should work because it's 667MHZ. Any ideas ???

Probably a different pin out. If it is, there's a good possibility you ruined the new CPU in the process.

I never learned the Intel numbers but I have a 2.16Ghz C2D from the last 24" White iMac in my 1.66Ghz Intel Mini and it dropped right in and came right up. I will see what I can find about that CPU and get back to you.

Just checked and that CPU should work. Are you sure it's a good CPU and not blown and you did match up the pins correct?
