Sandy Bridge for Ivy Bridge CPU upgrade in the W520

Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge using the same socket. All tech sites say that we can do.

What are the implications? With HD-4000 graphics I would now be able to drive 4 monitors? What other benefits are there? Energy consumption is slightly reduced, the speed is slightly increased.

What are the limits of the chipset and BIOS implications?

It's probably not about the money, but will it work?

  • 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)

  • Can I use an existing Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD for Windows 7 Professional upgrade using the keys I bought instead of loading down?

    I've updated three of my computers from Windows XP Professional for Window 7 Professional using kits of DVD I bought. I have three sets of Window 7 professional DVD in my possession. I bought a new license [facility provided by Microsoft key] for my ThinkPad. I ordered also accompanying the DVD, which I imagine will happen next week. Rather than wait for the DVD, can I use one of my existing 32 Bit Windows DVD for installation to upgrade with the new license key that I got from Microsoft?

    No problem - but you might want to wait, if your existing DVD is the original version, because a new will have SP1 integrated, so it'll even some hassles :)

  • HP Compaq dx2300 format microtour CPU Upgrade requires the bios update

    Hey, my Hp compaq dx2300 format microtour came with a core2duo E4400 processor, I had an E8400 CPU because they share the same socket LGA compatible on the motherboard and it fits perfectly, only the pc does not start, then read around some sites say it is supported by my MSI motherboard A 0, 90, others only reported up to E6700 what I don't understand, is why it wouldn't work? I BIOS v1.14 (latest news on the list of dated drivers '2008'!) and can't seem to find a solution for this, please tell me what to do I don't want to be stuck with a CPU, I can't use cause it isn't a way to map mother read it, thanks in advance!

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, you're stuck with an E8400 which won't work in this PC.  See page 4.

    Here are links to the quickspecs for your model.

    http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/12668_na/12668_na.PDF

    An E8400 processor will not work in any case with x chipset Intel 94 or 96 x chipset.

    In order to run an E8400 into a PC, there need an Intel 3 series chipset or 4 of the series.

    Of course a processor must adapt to an outlet, but is not the only criterion needed to make it work.

  • Satellite P750 - 10 c: HARD drive slows down - Sandy Bridge Cougar problem?

    Hello

    I have problem with my notebook Satellite P750 - 10 c with S/N: 4B478828K.
    When I enabled AHCI in the BIOS, computer slows diametrically, day after day was worste and worste, so I tried to change from AHCI to IDE and it helped a little, but is still not good.

    I tried to restore my system, but it did not help.
    I read that Intel has released a version tapped for Sandy Bridge chipset, I have (HM65) SATA 3Gbs problem (I just checked in HD Tune and HARD drive is connected to the port of 3Gbs), so I think I got bugged version.

    My laptop is not guaranteed, but Intel said they changed valid version, so where do I return my phone to fix.

    Kind regards
    Tomek

    > I read that Intel launched buggy version of the chipset for Sandy Bridge.
    The problem was a Cougar Point of Sandy Bridge chipset and not the main processor Sandy Bridge.

    In addition Intel said that this issue affected only the SATA 2 to 5 and not ports 0 and 1.
    Most laptops use only two devices SATA (HDD/SSD and ODD) using the affected ports 0 and 1.
    That is why I think that your problem could be linked to the issue of Cougar Point the Sandy Bridge chipset.

    By the way: not all Intel Sandy Bridge chipsets have been affected.

    Regarding your question:
    Usually if AHCI is enabled, the HARD drive must use the performance of SATA. If compatibility mode, the HARD drive would go at the speed of the IDE.
    I think your problem is perhaps related to the problem drive HARD and not Intel problem.

  • Can I change/upgrade of the Satellite A350 - 6310 x processor

    Hi all

    How is it going?

    I have a small question.

    My laptop model is A350 - x 6310 (psal6g-01p00y)
    The processor of my laptop is intel core2duo p7350.
    Unfortunately it only supports virtualization intel I intend to replace withintel core 2 duo p 8600.

    I would like to know - is it possible?
    I heard that now a days processors are welded on laptops and it is not possible to replace them.

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Thanks and greetings

    Hi mate

    Theoretically, this will be possible because the processor is mounted right and not soldered on the motherboard.
    But as I said s theoretically only because the BIOS has not been configured for another s CPU.
    In the worst case the BIOS is not compatible with the processor and the laptop wouldn't start or the operating system would not stable

    In addition the stronger CPU developing more heat dissipation and this could lead to a higher temperature and closing unexpectedly downs

    In my opinion it s not worth to upgrade the processor because you also won't notice any performance boost.

  • 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.

  • I5-650 upgrade to i7 - 875 or wait for Ivy Bridge-E to be released?

    Then, when I bought my current motherboard, my upgrade path has been my i5-650, which is quite slow, to an i7. I've been waiting for a while for the price to drop on the i7-875, but they remain still at the 350-$ 400 (US) level. I like the i7-875 because it has unlocked. I have a Noctura C12P cooler, I initially intended to buy a unlocked i7 and overclock a little. Unfortunately my i5-650 has no an unlocked multiplier. I knew that when I bought it, but at the point where I expected to be able to upgrade the processor in the year. I did not yet as I used to be an editor very novist - now I'm at an intermediate level and my slow processor has really started to bother me.

    However, now I think that it would be better to wait for the Ivy Bridge-E, which from what I've read so far, should be a processor 8-core complete. This will allow me to take advantage of the four memory channels (my i5 only supports dual channel), a better CPU socket as the 2011, much more big cache on die CPU itself and of course the 8 cores that will be 4 times the physical cores that I have now. I'll also be able to update my motherboard if I leave with a new processor, which would be nice because my EVGA P55 THE limit myself to only 16 GB of memory, 4 x 4 gigs. When I built my rig, two years ago, 16 concerts seemed to be quite similar. Now, I know that I need 32 or maybe 64, so I need a motherboard that offers 8 DIMM slots - mine has only four.

    I'll have to wait about a year or two, depending on when Intel finally released Ivy Bridge-E, but I'm OK with it if it means a significant improvement in my render times. Now that I'm loading individual clips with many effects, color correction, etc... I see a lot more red in my calendar and I'm tired of waiting for the previews made and so I can back to work.

    Any thoughts on the Ivy Bridge-E and its release date, etc...? All I can find is that it is delayed until the third quarter of 2013, which is nearly a year away, but if the new format of 22nm chip is worth the wait, I will be willing to wait rather than take an intermediate step and then spend again in less than a year...

    Thank you!

    The upgrade should be based on what makes more sense than your workloads. From this moment you can already buy a motherboard Socket 2011 as there dropping in support of 8-processor Core (they are already avaiblible under the line of Xeon from Intel that is supported on the boards as the WS P9X79 which work as well consumer CPUs (Sandy Bridge (E). The difficult situation you're is you pushcaeed a platform that had a quick u-turn socket wise so upgrade has become limited and the cost of the CPU for the platform.

    At least with the 2011 Socket which is not goin anywhere any time soon. Ultimately, you must make the call whether to move your Board and CPU currently to something that will provide a significant increase in performance as a X 79 part of card with even the quad core (3820) or wait to get a piece of 8 native hearts which is already avaiblible with references of Xeon. Do not forget that there is a cost of considerble delta by adopting a 8 on the side of Intel processor.

    I hope this helps. Enjoy the rest of your day!

  • Fix for nasty bug of Sandy Bridge badly on USB devices

    Anyone know if there is a fix yet, some USB devices fail intermittently on a new MB with Windows 7 64 - bit edition.

    It is a quad core running the Sandy Bridge chipset, and vodafone dongles does work, even if they did on W7 64 bit on the former Council.

    Fault too:-some external hard drives are not recognized on any port.

    Your hard drives are connected via SATA?

    There is a known issue with some Sandy Bridge chipsets, where ports SATA fail, don't know if it affects USB ports or not.

    Intel issued a notice of recall for this with the affected chipsets - did you check the Intel website to see if you are one of those affected

  • ESXi 4.1 Westmere EVC does not not with Ivy Bridge CPU

    Hi all

    I'm under 4.1U3. I have a cluster that has 8 guests inside. 6 of them are processors E7-2860. Two of them are processors E5-2680v2 (new). vCenter will allow me to select CVS. However after activated and I turn on a few virtual machines on one of the new hosts it tells me "the cluster cannot be configured with vMotion compatibility mode Enhanced selected; Features CPU disabled by this mode are currently in use by power or suspended virtual machines in the cluster. »

    Also, when I try to migrate one of these virtual machines for new guests to one of the E7-2860 hosts it won't pass validation saying "CPU host is incompatible with the requirements of the virtual machine to leval CPUID register 0 x 1"ecx".»

    The only thing I can think is the E5-2680v2 is not supported on 4.1 and so CVS is not working properly. Any ideas on that?

    screengrab1.PNG

    screengrab2.PNG

    I tried to add this line, but there was no change.

    I found that if I change

    cpuidMask.val.1.eax = '0 x 00020651' (the value defined by VCA)

    TO

    cpuidMask.val.1.eax = "0x000106a4".

    vMotion will validate.

    I found that by creating a new cluster and defining the level of evc to Nehalem. I put one of the new hosts in this cluster and observed what has changed/etc/vmware/config. I noticed that the following values have been defined in the new cluster.

    cpuidMask.val.1.eax = "0x000106a4".

    cpuidMask.val.1.ecx = "0x0098e23d".

    So I put this host in the cluster of origin and the value of these values and vmotion worked. The two vmotion from the new host for other hosts and also hosts of origin to the new host has worked.

    So I tried just to set the value of eax and leaving the ecx value to the default value of the bunch and who also worked. So I don't know why vCenter is reporting an issue with the register ecx register when its eax which was the problem.

    If at this point, I think that my options are to create a cluster with the new hosts until we have upgraded 5.5 or walking with the value of eax changed for now. The problem with running with the changed value is vCenter it resets the host goes into maintenance mode or reset.
