CPU upgrade for HP Dv7-6179us?

I did a video on my laptop and quickly noticed that my current system could not follow the program I run (Cyberlink Powerdirector 11). I already ordered a new 16gig RAM again and I was wondering what I can do to upgrade my CPU... Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated thanks!

I'd be able to keep my current hard drive and always install the new SSD in extra Bay?

Yes of course. However, it may require a fresh install of Windows on the new SSD. Origin of the hard disks on computers laptops HP are larger that the SSDS and a factory reset can end with a lot of mistakes because the ssd is not large enough to manage the restoration to the original state. A new facility has always worked for me with the key of portable computer product at the bottom of the unit. The only thing I had to do was uncheck activate online because it must be done after you get the activation message (by phone is ok) a few days later.

  • Pavilion Media Center a1640n: options of CPU upgrade for an old HP Pavilion Media Center a1640n...

    Hi all.  I've been cleaning and updating my granddaughter desktop PC.  This model used by an Asus P5BW - rev 1.05 MB (HP/Compaq name: Buckeye-GL8E), a processor Intel E6300 4x1Go RAM PC2-6400 and runs a 10 Pro 64-bit Windows installation.

    I thought I would upgrade the CPU while I was there and bought an E6700 opportunity that is part of the Intel same product range with plug, with the exception of the higher clock speed.  On these two circuits rated FSB is 1066 and documentations of HP wrote this should work: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00748726

    However - there is always a but isn't there - the E6700 does not start in the BIOS.  No beep codes or any other indication, just never reveals the splash screen.  I have reset the CMOS, tried more fast RAM RAM slower but none of these things makes no difference.  I checked to see if there was a BIOS later / updated but it seems that it was never a product, v3.17, and this is what is currently installed.

    Does anyone know if there are some technical limitations - like model of processor being hard coded in the BIOS or something like that--that it prevents the work or have I bought probably a bad cpu chip?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Greetings,

    The processor should work as the specs are the same.

    When you reinstall the E6300 it starts fine but the E6700 is DOA.

    Looks like a bad chip. The only way to check is to install the E6700 in a different motherboard.

    See you soon!

  • CPU Upgrade for Optiplex 755 - Core 2 Quad?

    Hey guys!

    I have a Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computer. It's a SFF, and I picked up the recycling room in my office. It just need a HD fan, and it runs great. He got a Core 2 vPro 3.0 ghz in there at the moment, 4 MB of cache and FSB 1333.

    It works well, but I would like to upgrade to a slightly faster processor and I am considering my options. I watched the fastest Core 2 Duo, I couldn't, and they offer only a 3.33 ghz, however, it's something like $350 dollars for the processor.

    I started thinking maybe I should see what there is and realized that there is also the Core 2 Quad and the Extreeme of 2 Core that are available with one cache of FSB 1333 mhz, and PGA775 (or other).

    I'm curious, but you guys don't know if it is possible to install a Core 2 Quad or a Core 2 Extreme in my Dell Optiplex 755? This PDF shows on Page 10 to take a Core 2 Quad. http://www.Dell.com/downloads/global/products/Optix/en/opti_755_techspecs.PDF

    Which is the maximum that the BIOS will recognize / support? Can I use a QX6850?

  • Ivy Bridge CPU Upgrade for Inspiron 620

    As stated above, I have a 620 Inspiron with a Core i3 2120 which is a Sandy Bridge processor. I have the opportunity to get a Core i5 3570 for a very good price, which is a processor Ivy Bridge, but the word is that the Ivy Bridge processors can be used in some of the Sandy Bridge motherboards with a BIOS update. According to my system in the Device Manager devices, I have the drivers for chipset H61. However, I can't have an answer directly from anyone or not an Ivy Bridge CPU will work in my computer. I thought that maybe someone from Dell could help me this clear up because I'm not sure I can return the CPU as soon as I remove it from the box. It would be a fairly expensive mistake. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't think that it will be possible, because Dell does not have a BIOS for your specific model supporting Ivy Bridge. They may have sold a 620 with Ivy Bridge, however the more specific model number will be different, and they contain different parts and require different BIOS. For example on the number of specific model, the original Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series had a model number of 7537, the new 15 Inspiron 7000 (same model) series has a model number of 7547 (different specific model number)

  • Best CPU Upgrade for s5202uk

    Hello

    AMD sockets usually have very good compatibility.

    Know what the return policy is before you buy anything.  If the six main does not work, then you can get a refund?  If you cannot get a refund then can you exchange it for another model? A model of Exchange would be satisfactory to your needs?

    What would I do?  I'd go for it, but then my wallet could be deeper than yours.

    No, the AMD Phenom X 3 8450 is not compatible.

    The motherboard does support all AMD quad Core processors, or 3.

    Hello everyone, I recently bought a HP/Compaq dc7700 SFF with a processor intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86 GHz. I have a spare Intel Pentium D 940 Extreme Edition @ 3.20 GHz and I wonder if there is much exchange gain it in. The OS is win7 64 bit, 8 GB RAM. the two procs are LGA775 socket.

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the replies. In the search further, it seems that the C2D E6300 offer performance equal to the old Pentium D 3.2 with less electricity and heat consumption, so I'll leave it as what.

    Thanks again.

  • Classified into CPU upgrade PowerEdge T320 - I was wondering if I need thermal paste for the heatsink that came with it

    Subject pretty much said it all.

    We received a CPU upgrade for our PowerEdge T320. The new processor comes with a new heat sink, and it seems that there is a thermal buffer of paste on the lower part of the radiator.

    I wonder if anyone knows if I need to or recommend that I put the extra thermal paste on the chip before mounting the radiator.

    Hello.

    The quantity of thermal paste comes with your CPU should be enough for the CPU holding it in place.

  • Equium L20-264 - CPU upgrade

    Hello world

    I have Toshiba Equium L20-264 and I want to move into gear
    Can someone help me please?

    I had already upgraded to 2 GB of Ram, but my CPU is still 1.4 GHz.

    Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

    Thank you.

    I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
    Did you?

    Some facts first:
    Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
    In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

    Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
    Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
    Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

    Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

    But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.

  • Upgrading the video card in dv7-6179us

    Hello, I have a dv7-6179us, and I was wondering if the video card upgrade is possible and what would work as an upgrade. Currently, it has 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 6490 m card. When I run programs for video and photos, I always get the high CPU usage. So I was wondering if upgrading the video card would contribute to this.

    Thank you

    Hello:

    There is no video "cards" in most notebook PC including your own.

    The only way to update the graphics would be to replace the motherboard together with a support, which may have better graphics.

    Graphics of your model is in the upper part of the brand, so the only way to get better graphics performance would be to buy a new laptop with the desired graphic solution.

  • Pavilion dv7 - 4050ev: upgrade CPU on HP Pavilion dv7 4050 ev

    I want to improve my laptop CPU. The manual says that my laptop can handle a CPU Intel Core i7 840QM. By doing a little research on my own, I discovered that my current CPU is PGA988. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I need to find a processor that is taken of PGA988, or it does not.

    It is true that some processors, like 840QM, came with several taken?

    I will have problems with high temperatures?

    Is there a difference? (In most games)

    Is there something else (not to mention that the socket) that I should consider in terms of compatibility?

    Thanks in advance
    Tassos.

    I7-840QM is the top processor of the page, that you can use. I think that all i7-840QMs use the PGA988 outlet, so you can use a processor purchased from one source other than HP.

    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/43125/Intel-Core-I7-840QM-processor-8M-cache-1_86-GHz

    The price of this processor is always up there a little:

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/Intel-Core-I7-840QM-1-86GHz-socket-G1-Laptop-CPU-processor-SLBMP-/361121500226?PT=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item541484cc42

    The linked above processor is compatible and runs on your laptop.

    The dv7 line has always been prone to problems of heat and the first series of Intel Core gen run particularly hot so when you install it remember to use good thermal paste, clean the fan blades and otherwise use best practices. If you need help let us know.

    Don't expect a CPU upgrade only to make the game a lot better. It is especially dependent on the video chip you have. You have the HD 5650 video that is as good as it gets for this series model. He was very good at the time but is now a little long in the tooth. I expect a very small increase, but a negligible small in the time control of the upgrade of i3 to i7. For the rest, the upgrade will be quite noticeable. You could get even more general improvement, installation of an SSD. You also want to upgrade to the max 8 GB of RAM, of course.
