Hi there guys!
I have just upgraded my doughters laptop CPU from old Celeron B820 to a swift
I5 2450M and the results are really really good!
Laptop is running super smooth compared to the old Celeron cpu and obviously the graphics have greatly improved so she can play her rodblocks or whaterver she plays! Also have installed another 4GB Ram bone in there so its a healthy 8GB system now.
Not bad at all i must say BUT!!!!!!
Can any of you BIG BRAINS out there advise me if i can go even further with the upgrade?
What i mean by that is that i know that the most powerful CPU for this socket (Socket G2) Sandy Bridge - is the mighty I7 2960XM BUT it does eat up a lot more power than the I5 and this is a step from 35Watts to 55Watts.
Now . Do you guys think that it would be possible to run a BIOS MODE to change the frequencies of the MOBO and increase the voltage ? Or the laptop wouldnt even start with I7 installed ?
What do you guys yhink ?
Regards to ya all and take care !
