Hi i have acquired a Lenovo G580 laptop that has a B960 dual core i want to upgrade to an i7
Intel® Pentium® Processor B960 (2M Cache, 2.20 GHz) DDR3-1066/1333 SOCKET supported FCPGA988, PGA988 MAX TDP 35 W
Intel® Core™ i7-2720QM Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.30 GHz) DDR3-1066/1333/1600 SOCKET supported FCBGA1224, FCPGA988 MAX TDP 45 W
I have got the confirmation from internet that the G580 bios supports this both dual cores and quad cores it has generic bios so it will support turbo boost, multithreading, multicores etc one dude has upgraded his Lenovo G580 dual core to a i7 quad core and says it runs fine.
But the new i7 processor has ram speeds 1600 will this interfere with the motherboard memory controllers on the G580 laptop
And the i7 also has a 45 watt TDP so will it heat up if i put it on a 35 Watt rated cooling system as the current dual core processor is running at 35 watts. Will the laptop overheat??? Will the plus 10 watts matter ??
And also the socket is FCPGA988 so it will support it right?
