HP A6123w CPU upgrade opportunities?

Hi, new to the community.  So now I want to upgrade my athlonX2 4400 to a larger X 2 or X 3 or X 4 processor.  I am running a 8800gt GPU and a 680W PSU, but I'm slugging along on video editing and games a little.  I'm thinking that a faster processor would be my next step, thanks in advance for any help...

Hello

You could improve it an Athlon 64 X 2 5600 89W max

Hope that helps

    Hello:

    It may depend on what BIOS you have installed.

    If you have read all the release notes for revisions of the BIOS, you can see that some releases add support for the latest processors.

  • Satellite A200 - CPU Upgrade possible?

    Hello

    I want to upgrade my CPU.
    Currently a T2080 is installed and I would like to install a T7300?

    Can someone tell me if this is possible with my motherboard?

    The mother Board has the following features:
    Intel 940GML/943GML (Calistoga-GML) + ICH7-M / U
    Portable ID model: Satellite A200-1AS (PSAE0E)

    Does anyone have a list with all CPU running with this motherboard?

    Thanks for help.

    Hello

    Have you read that some threads here in the forum on the CPU upgrade opportunities?
    Do this!

    Always is it that upgrading the CPU is not easy for example on desktop computers.
    The BIOS is always different and modified by the manufacturers of cell phones.
    So even if the chipset allows you to upgrade the CPU, there is a question whether BIOS would deal with this new processor. If these upgrades are always risky.

    The laptop uses the Mobile Intel 943GML Chipset

    To check what processors are therefore supported by the chipset:
    http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/309219.PDF

    Here on page 30, you can find this:
    + All features supported by Mobile Intel 940GML / GM Express Chipset must be supported.
    + Chipset Intel 943GML Express unless otherwise stated below. +

    _ Support for processor + _
    + Intel® processor A100 and A110 on 90 nm process with 512 KB L2 Cache 400 - MHz +.
    + front side bus (FSB) support +.

    Then you should check what are the processors supported by Intel 940GML

  • 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.

    Hello

    With regard to the question on the CPU upgrade:
    This question was asked several times here in the forum. I recommend you read the other discussions on upgrading the CPU.

    Usually, the case is simple: the manufacturers of portable don t support this upgrade for clean products. The CPU is delicate because the new processor must be based on two essential elements: chipset and BIOS.

    The laptop supports the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset.
    So, you know, what would the CPU supported by the chipset.
    But like I said above: the BIOS support is also important and finally everything depends on the BIOS whether your new processor works or not.

  • Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - CPU upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X and I was wondering which processors 'Dual Core' support this laptop for a CPU upgrade?

    Have a read of other peoples threads, it is possible for the laptop to have an upgrade, but I'm not sure of what those who actually support. The most common dual core would be the dual core 'Stalk' However, there are many processors that go under the name "stalk".

    I was also wondering if all Toshiba L450Ds have the same motherboard etc... because they contain the same case and (mostly) graphics card

    Thank you very much

    I assume that you have already read this Toshiba doesn't support CPU upgrade and a public document on processors compatible doesn t exist.
    You can just hope that someone has an identical identical machine with the hardware platform and can offer some info on these updates.

    For best performance, you can start with the RAM upgrade. Have you upgraded RAM to max level?

    > My question is, can I upgrade my current processor with all of the processors on this list?

    Probably yes.
    But the fact is that no one would be able to answer this question because this CPU upgrade isn't officially supported. This means that gift of manufacturers of mobile phone t provide any information on this upgrade and compatibility.

    You can try these updates with your own hands and hope that the BIOS would be able to manage this new CPU.

  • Satellite C850-1 kN and CPU Upgrade

    I recently got my hands on one of these laptops. It has a Pentium 960 b for the moment, but I searched for Intel i3 - 3110M or Intel i3 processor - 3130M CPU on eBay to replace the slower Pentium.

    Both are IvyBridge, identical to the original and both have a TDP of 35W, which means that they should not belt any more heat it does (or at least no more than the fan can handle, because the fans are usually designed to be mass produced and used in many different laptops (, but the same form factor)

    Someone had a bit of luck the upgrade of their CPU in Toshiba laptops? I guess I'm of the same generation of processor Intel should mean support BIOS already integrated into the planks of the BIOS...

    I can tell you that a lot of people have been able to upgrade the processor in their notebooks of Toshiba but fact is simple as this upgrade isn't officially supported by laptop manufacturers and can be done at your own risk.
    Generally the CPU upgrade depends on chipset and BIOS support.

    The laptop supports the Mobile HM70 Express Chipset Intel - compatible and supported processors are Intel ARK page in compatible products section:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/67419/Intel-BD82HM70-PCH

    To be honest I don't think that all compatible CPUS are but it s a good start point.

    However, the BIOS must support also the new processor and maybe it's the thorny question since no one knows what are the processors supported by the BIOS because this information isn't out of nowhere.

  • G6-1262sa Pavilion: Pavilion g6-1262sa CPU upgrade v2, Sandy Bridge = > Ivy Bridge?

    Hi, thanks to the Pavilion g6-1262sa maintenance and manual cleaning and this great forum, I recently discovered that replace my i3-2330 m is possible with all sandy bridge i7 2620m processors.

    These questions may sound silly, but I continued my research and I have more ideas to confront reality as a couple.

    I realize that the compatibility is not only matter of editing the same socket, but also of the bios installed on certain motherboard, however:

    1. do you think it would be possible to Exchange Sandy Bridge (2nd generation) i3 - 2330 m for some Ivy Bridge (3rd generation) i5-3210 m?

    2 is the 32nm to 22nm manufacturing technology enough difference on its own (even if the rest of the architecture is the same) to prevent that to work?

    3 is the bios from my card mother g6 identyfying somehow installed processor? (if this isn't on 'the list' it simply won't work? "or what technical compatibility issue?

    According to some statements which I found it on some forums and sites (and a few facts documented free):

    Socket: the two processors are compatible with BGA1023 decision-making. (at least that's what I found, if someone could confirm I would be grateful)

    Difference of architecture: "The 3rd generation is called 'Ivy Bridge' and is essentially a copy of Sandy Bridge made on a smaller scale, or die." However, Intel also focused on beefing up of the onboard graphics in this generation. »

    TDP: both are 35 W

    Carrots: both are 2 physical (Virtual 4 - thanks to hyperthreading I guess?)

    Energy consumption: "Ivy Bridge CPUS also use less energy", "Ivy Bridge consumes less energy; around 10w, I think. »

    Temperature: i5-3210 m going 5 * C more - 2330 m - i3 shouldn't make much difference

    Looking forward to some responses, RacA

    It is not a technical incompatibility (socket) because as you probably know Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge are backward compatible on most motherboards desktop. However, HP has only implemented gen 2d, processor Intel Core compatibility of the HM65 Express chipset that you a. motherboards supporting 3rd gen processors use the HM77 chipset. There is no another motherboard that will fit in your frame.

    Your analysis above, which was pretty good, left out the chipset, which you must always remember when assessing the possibilities of upgrade:

    http://www.CPU-upgrade.com/MB-Intel_%28chipsets%29/HM65_Express.html

    The HM65 supports a couple 3rd gen processors, but none of them are on the list of HP for your model. You can try one of those shown in the link I gave, but I think that there is a small chance that they will work.

  • Satellite M60 - issue CPU upgrade

    Hello out there!

    I am a happy owner of a Satellite M60.
    I recently installed Win7 pro and nothing works well.

    I was offered a new processor Intel M770 and
    now, I would like to hear if anyone has any experience changin processor in a laptop.

    The M770 have on the same specsas M740 and executes the same 915 chipsets. M770 has a 2.13 Ghz clock and the M740 1.73 revival.

    If I swap the processors, my laptop will get faster, or it will explode like a hurricane and disappear into a smokecloud?

    Best regards
    Mogens

    > The M770 have on the same specsas M740 and executes the same 915 chipsets. M770 has a 2.13 Ghz clock and the M740 1.73 revival.

    Well, generally the CPU upgrade is a really complicated because of the compatibility of the BIOS history, but I think you have a good chance to get the laptop working with new CPU M770. It belongs to the same family of CPU as the old CPU and chipsets support is the same.
    In addition, I think that this laptop overheating not using this CPU of course there is more the dissipation of heat thanks to the fastest performance, but I think that the cooling modules should handle this

    Of course, it s just my opinion personal and everything what you would do is at your own risk.

    Good luck

    Post edited by: oiprocs

    Hello

    Theoretically, the new Intel Pentium M Processor 765 2.10 GHz should be compatible with the motherboard, but the fact is that nobody can say it the laptop would be working properly after this upgrade.

    One of the main problems could be the heat dissipation. Stronger CPU develops more heat, and this may affect the functionality of the laptop.
    In addition the BIOS was not configured for other processors so it could be a problem.

    Last but not least as mentioned in the article of Toshiba, the upgrade of the CPU is not supported. So everything can be done simply at your peril!

  • Satellite Pro L20-PSL25E - CPU upgrade question

    Hello

    I upgraded the ram last year and im running high-performance for my model, 2.0 GB.

    This really helped for awhile, but after a few heavy programs have been installed this year (only one software, one game) ive noticed it running slow as before, its worth noting that my computer has adopted all the necessary specifications for both outside the game where im working on 1.7 ghz and it needs the least 2.0 ghz processor , and I'm short on speed slowest peformance of the game itself.

    The vehicle has currently a centrino pentium, keeping in mind a new portable computer is not in my budget, is it worth getting a new processor and which would be best?

    Thanks again, Rebecca.

    Hello

    My personal opinion is that Satellite L20 is not designed for heavy operations and is certainly not game machine. If you compare the price of Satellite and Satellite L laptops you'll understand why. I'm sure that this laptop is designed for Internet, office and simple every day activities.

    Upgrading RAM is very good and I'm sure it helps a lot but CPU upgrade is not the solution. Update CPU is not supported. You must also understand that each hardware platform is designed for optimal physical activity. Processor, graphics, cooling system and other hardware components must work without overheating and harmonic. Stronger CPU means more heat.

    In my opinion you should optimize operating system preinstalled software hoping you use will work better and more stable.
