  • Satellite A100 - 495 (PSAA9) - CPU and GPU upgrade

    Hi all

    I have a few questions.
    I have a Satellite A100-495 with 2 GB of Ram, Core2Duo 1.83 GHz (2 x; T5600) and an NVIDIA Geforce 7600go.
    I want to spend the CPU and the GPU. Is this possible?
    I don't want to do. I am looking for a store (if possible in Germany) that can do this.

    If its possible, what it costs? And what store can I speak?

    If this is not possible-> why? It is fixed; It getting too hot?

    What solution do I? I don't want to buy a new laptop.

    Kind regards

    Update CPU and GPU on laptop computers is complicated enough or is not possible. At first, I must say that GPU is part of the motherboard and graphics card can not be upgraded at all.

    What about the CPU upgrade? Toshiba authorized service providers will not do that and the CPU upgrade is not supported. Few people on this forum have talked about CPU upgrade, but for me the risk is too high. All hardware components are adapted to the work well together and also to reduce the risk of damaging the material. The BIOS is also suitable for the specific hardware configuration. The values of the fans are also tested and there is no risk of overheating.

    Change CPU, you will get no more powerful laptop. Modern processors are powerful enough and a few MHz more won't do anymore difference. What you can do is to increase the RAM to the maximum level - 4 GB. That s all what you should do and your laptop runs a lot faster.

    Also be careful on the configuration of the operating system. This will also help make your laptop faster than before.

    By the way: for operations you need more power? What you want to do with your laptop?

  • HP 15A 103tx: deleted unconsciously thermal paste from surface of cpu and gpu.

    Hello
    Last Sunday I accidentally poured alcohol on my laptop I went and cleaned my laptop. While cleaning I have unconsciously remove thermal paste from surface of cpu and gpu and now my laptop shows lines and points as a TV screen when it is a bad sign. I went to a local store of den the guys checked my laptop and the screen is fine, but something's wrong with the video card. I googled and just to know that I removed the thermal paste that must have been stuck back after cleaning.
    Please help what should I do now?
    After starting the laptop starts "auto den, but nothing happens then."
    Help, please.

  • Acer aspire problem vn7 - 591 g nitro with high CPU and GPU temperatures

    Hello! I recently noticed some issues (lower fps) performance when you play semi demanding like cs and Overwatch, although pretty much the lowest settings. I went to download CPUID (software to monitor your hardware) to check my temperature and I noticed that I reach 90 low to high (depending on the game) when I play.

    I thought it might be dust or something inside so I removed the keyboard of the laptop part and used some canned air to remove any dust I could reach (without removing the motherboard). I also managed to get your hands on a laptop computer, cooling rack. The problem is that all these efforts really solved the problem. Just a slightly lower temperature on the GPU and about the same on the processors. I'm starting to wonder if it could be the thermal paste, which need to be replaced? I had the computer for a little over a year now. Does anyone else know similar problems? Help or advice would be appriecated.

    Hello

    The CPU and the GPU are designed to operate at these temperatures. If they are too high they will be the butterfly, and if even this does not then at some point they just instantly shut down to avoid any possible damage.

    Changing thermal paste may improve performance, but you will only get lower temperatures. Your CPU/GPU will probably run at higher clock speeds and will not throttle, but temperatures will be in the same range. But in my experience if you can change the thermal paste, you should.

    Also, you can use the laptop fan control that has the configuration for 591g and it may further increase the fan speed. I think, from the factory, the maximum speed of the fan is just about 60-70%.

  • Overclock CPU and GPU

    I want to know if is it possible to UNLOCK a new CPU or GPU for my laptop.

    I have a HP PAVILION DV7-7004SL, with 8 GB of RAM, intel core i5 - 2450M, nVidia GT 630 M, 17' inches.

    If I do overclock, I have every chance to unlock something? Maybe a low version of i7?

    * And on the subwoofer of beats, dosen't works with Windows 8.1?

    * Thanks in advance.

    If it is not broken don't fix it. The BIOS file itself will not harm to the laptop, but from time to time the process flash runs short and the laptop brick. This is less a problem it has been since Windows 8 and diagnostics of modern equipment, but still, unless you are having a specific problem, the new BIOS is designed to fix I would be in no hurry to do so.

  • Updated new Alienware 17 with CPU and GPU

    Hi all

    I would like to know if it is technically possible to upgrade my new alienware 17 (i7 4800 and gtx 770 m) with a view to graphics card like gtx 780 m and a microprocessor quick as processor 6 or even 8 if these are forthcoming. The motherboard will support the cpu and the gpu? And wil cooling well then?

    Thanks in advance and best regards,

    PFYAAA

    PFYAAA,

    The motherboard supports this upgrade.
    * No. we do not support the kernel following Dell OEM 4 processors:
    C8HRG i7-4930MX 3.00 GHz
    HDX3D i7-4900MQ 2.80 GHz
    M 036 4 i7-4800MQ 2.70 GHz
    86XWW i7-4700MQ 2.40 GHz

    the cooling system which would allow?
    * Because we never test them, we do not know.

    with a higher graphics card?
    * You could pass to the GTX780m of the Dell OEM.
    2K0KW Nvidia GeForce GTX780m N14E - GTX 4 GB of GDDR5 memory with support, thermal pad
    YP26V GTX780m GPU thermal Module right 100w

    and even a core 6 is already available in configuration alienwares 18.
    * Where do you see that? I have seen that the AW17 and the AW18 offer the same 4 core CPU?

  • Mac Pro CPU and GPU upgrades

    Hello, I am looking to buy a Mac Pro 2008 and had a few questions. 1. I found I can pass of say a 2 X 2.80 GHz 2 x 3.0 GHz CPU, but I looked up a few processors (from my MacBook Air i5 2013) and one very well like i5 Core 6600 k in guides and found compared to my only MacBook, it is barely faster , but compared to the 6600 k, is pretty lame. So I would like to know if I can put a more modern, faster CPU in the Mac Pro. 2. I saw you pass GPU also through multiple models of Mac Pro, but a similar question, wondering if I can swap in a GPU more modern. I'd be by accepting a list of compatible CPU / GPU if it works.

    Thank you!

  • Re: Satellite M30X - can the CPU and GPU be improved?

    The chip CPU & models M30X display may be set to level and what?
    Thanks, Pete

    Hi Pete!

    I n t have good news for you...
    The CPU can theoretically but improved but Toshiba doesn't support this. The point is that the BIOS maybe couldn't recognize the new processor.
    In addition the graphics chip can t be updated because it s soldered onto the motherboard.

  • Lenovo Energy Management optimized battery health decreases the performance of the CPU and GPU

    Hello!

    I have a little problem with my IdeaPad Y510P. When I select a maximum autonomy, everything works fine at maximum performance, but when I choose optimized battery, my laptop works about 50% of its performance or lower, which is enough when I'm not playing, but when I do, the decline in performance is really disturbing compared to the option of maximum battery life.

    Does anyone has a solution for this? I like to keep performance upward and the Crescent of the battery at the same time. I've updated my driver of the LEM and also software, and I use Win 8.1 64-bit.

    Thanks in advance!

    Do you really believe that someone here can give you an adequate answer to your question? It is portable and not. Hardware upgrade on mobile units are very limited, and you can get accurate answers on RAM or HARD drive modules, but not CPU or GPU.

    Some people on this forum have talked about successful upgrade of CPU, but no one has mentioned on the GPU upgrade. CPU and GPU are two pieces of hardware that produce most of the heat and each built in cooling system is adapted to work correctly with standard parts.

    In theory, how should this old cooling system cool new, more powerful CPU or GPU?
    OK, I understand your desire to do, but believe me, it is meaningless, especially on the old P100.

    What do you do? Extremely powerful laptop or what?

It holds an average base about 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees fahrenheit) temperature and a temperature of CPU from above 70 ° c (158 degrees fahrenheit). I had the problem since the purchase and got it to clean the radiator and renew the cooling paste once without any significant improvements. This is not the normal idle temp, it can?

    Hi guys,.

    Sorry, but is your accident of machines or you get BSOD? Is performance not well or what?

    I mean, I have an A100 with a T7600 and the machine is like yours, but this is normal since these powerful CPU and GPU creates a few h.e.a.t..

    So, if your machine shows no such problems I described then I really Don t know where the problem is.
