Upgrade CPU on Satellite C850-1NU

So I did some research lately on what I can do to upgrade my Satellite C850-1NU.

I'm going to 16 GB of RAM and an SSD, but I thought if it is possible to make a CPUupgrade.
In this laptop motherboard is an Intel PLCSF8 according to CPU - Z, and decision-making is taken 988B rPGA.

Then I found one of these on ebay: http://ark.intel.com/products/71465/Intel-Core-i3-3120M-Processor-3M-Cache-2_50-GHz

Then I found a site with something to do with my motherboard: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/230190

It is said that the processor is a core i3 3120 m, and it uses the same version of BIOS that I am, so I just want to know, could I buy a 3120 m i3 and put in my Satellite C850-1NU?

I have a Celeron 1000 m at the moment.

Hi Theo

Every time when I read the thread on CPU upgrade I m wondering what is the reason for this.
At first, because the CPU upgrade is not supported. There are many reasons why CPU shouldn't be improved. Some of them that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

Second, there are some hardware upgrades supported as the RAM and SSD that can be done by the owner of the laptop without any type of risk. I don't know what kind of transactions you make on your laptop but the RAM and SSD upgrade should be sufficient to increase the performance of s for laptop.

A few years ago I ve changed CPU on my old P300 (without guarantee) just to see if there is some difference. To be honest no not at all.
In my opinion, you should increase the Ram with memory compatible modules and exchange the SSD HARD drive. After doing this, you will notice the difference. Perform these two steps first and post comments.

  • Satellite C850-1NU - update of Windows 8 is suspended

    Hi all

    I'm pretty useless with computers so would like some advice.

    Tonight I tried to run windows updates.

    The laptop now reads as follows:
    "Configuration of Windows features.
    15% of full
    Do not turn off your computer.

    He read this message for 40 minutes. After that I turned off manually the laptop using the off button. To turn it on again, it began the process of updating at 0% and is now suspended at 15%.

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro C660-219

    Hello.

    I wonder just to upgrade CPU on my laptop to get some perfomance.
    I did the upgrade of RAM to 8 gb and 64 bit Win7.
    Now, it's processor i3 - 370 M (3 m cache, 2.40 GHz).

    I'm sure I can go to i3 - 390 M (3 m Cache, 2.66 GHz) processor, but it will be useless IMO.
    It has same Cache and just a little bit faster CPU count:

    > I need someone to answer the question: can I ride this laptop an i5 or i7 without problem with compatibility with the motherboard?
    You should know that upgrades of processors are not supported by any laptop manufacturer. This means that no one can tell if a CPU would be fully compatible and cause no worries. These upgrades are own risk.

    You could read this statement from Toshiba about upgrades.
    [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm]

    The point is that even the chipset which is part of the motherboard would support the new processor, BIOS would not fully compatible and the combination of BIOS and the new processor may cause new troubles.

    The camera seems to supports the INTEL HM55 chipset and to my knowledge, the Toshiba Satellite C660/C665/Pro C660 series is based on a Dual Core/Quad Core Processor (* Intel Arrandale processors *)

    So if you want to find a compatible CPU, you should check the processors owned by the family of processors Intel Arrandale.

    For CPU upgrade, there are several different important things and not the BIOS only.

    Hello, first of all I apologize for my bad English hahaha.

    I have a Satellite C70 - A - 16 L with pemtium processor I want to change it to an i3, i5 or a i7, is it possible?

    Thank you

    Upgrade CPU on laptops is not supported. This means that no one will be able to tell if the new CPU would work and if the laptop would be stable after this upgrade.

    Primarily this unit seems to be new. In this case, the warranty is still valid. If you disassemble the notebook in order to remove the CPU, you will void the warranty.
    I put t think it's worth a try.

    PS: even if you want to put a new processor, the performance gain is not noticeable. In my opinion better upgrade would be the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk

    In General, the CPU upgrade is not supported - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    Problem is that Toshiba offers no information on compatible processors that can be used on this laptop. Supported upgrade is RAM and HARD drive.

    This Satellite is old enough laptop model that can be used for everyday operations, so I see no reason to upgrade CPU. What do you need more performance?

    In my opinion, you can increase the Ram to the maximum level and exchange the original HDD with SSD faster.
    This will increase the performance of laptop computer s quickly and you can do it alone without any risk.

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite A100-521

    Hi all, looks like a good forum here! I'm looking for more information about upgrading the processor on my Satellite A100-521.

    The current main specifications are:
    Intel Celeron M 360 (1.4 Ghz, 400 Mhz FSB)
    2 GB RAM PC2-4300
    60GB OCZ SSD 2 Vortex
    Windows 7 (works well, but without Aero)

    So it's the CPU that's the weak link, verified by the Windows performance index.

    I did some research and it seems that the chipset is AMD Radeon Xpress 200 m http://www.amd.com/u...s-200m-amd.aspx which is apparently compatible with some Pentium and Core 2 CPU: http://en.wikipedia...s_200_for_Intel

    Any ideas what I could update? Didn't need to be very fast, just a little faster with the processes of daily...

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Upgrading CPU is generally very delicate due to the compatibility of the BIOS.
    Although the chipset would be able to handle new CPU, BIOS can cause problems.
    But no one is able to say that if cell would stable after these updates if you want to be 100% sure, I recommend choosing a CPU that has already been used in the A100 series
    Otherwise, it would be possible that new CPU would not be addressed by BIOS correctly.

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite P10 (PSP16)

    Please can someone tell me what is the best processor on the motherboard of my Satellite P10 to support? I have a P4 HT 2.60.
    I'm ready to be replaced by other better performance (I don't like on the battery life or heat :))

    Hi Mohamed

    What to say. Generally, a replacement of CPU on laptops is not possible or not easily and very delicate.
    Why? Because
    -n t know whether the processor is welded.
    -n t know if the laptop will run stable after upgrade CPU due to heat
    -n t know if BIOS will be compatible with the new processor, etc.

    However, you should start to know check the basic information of the chipset and check which processors support the Intel chipset. I think that you will find all the details on the chipset on the Intel page. This is a basic condition for the CPU upgrade

    In any case as talked about above the CPU upgrade is usually not possible that a person could not give a guarantee that the phone will work after these updates, so be careful!

    Good bye

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite L30-134

    If someone managed upgrade CPU on one of them again? Ive had contributed up to memory, but its still a little slow if you know what I mean...: P

    Ive been watching the Core2 SLV3W 2x1.33Ghz, the same operating temperature and the FSB, the two socket 478/9 but do not know if the BIOS will chuck a Teddy, Mobile Pentium look a little hot to run on this forum, well its amazing what you can do with a dremel tool and a bit of copper pipe , if need be I will be doctor existing cooling...

    Comments or suggestions gratefully received.

    I've dealt,

    Unfortunately, no one here would be able to give you really good information that could be useful for you. Since you´re a Pro, you should check out this site for example: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/

    The BIOS cannot be changed, but if the chipset is capable you can try it. Decision-making is always the same, so the package should fit into the hole ;)
    But I recommend you NOT to change the cooling system because it s lined up to work with the entire system. The system might work a little 'non-glaciere' and wouldn be quiet as before, but it should work.

    So, how you see yourself. I'm with you, but I can give you correct information because I am just modding computers for office (and already upgraded a laptop with some new CPU so I know something about it and I can tell you: Don t ask here.) Just read the headings and you'll see why :))

    Good luck and welcome

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite A200 - 1 M 8

    Hello

    I want to upgrade CPU in my A200 - 1 M 8 (now there is T7100).

    I consider two processors:
    (a) supported by T7700 Merom with 65nm, casings made PBGA479, PPGA478
    (b) T8300 Penryn with 45nm, casings BGA479 taken in charge, PGA478

    I would prefer Penryn becouse of low power consumption and less heat generated then Merom.
    But I don't know for sure, Penryn will work on my laptop?
    There is also no update BIOS for A200 - 1 M 8 (PSAE6E) - I gess, that my bios does not support newer T8300.

    I searched internet and have not found anyone who has done this before.

    I was wondering,
    I want to put an SSD in my Tosh. Please could someone send me a link to one that adapts, and and how they are easy to set up?
    Thank you

    In General, you can use almost all SSDS on the market and change the HARD drive isn't a big deal.
    Toshiba offers various SSD and you can pick up some info on http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html
    You can of course use SSDs from other manufacturers also. If you have time visit your local dealer and check that SSDS are available and to check prices.

    After buying one, we can help you with exchange. Let us know if you have one at home. ;)

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro M50?

    Is it possible to upgrade the processor on a Satellite Pro M50 to say an Intel Pentium M 755 SL7EM Socket 479 (mPGA479M) or is the BIOS locked to accept only Celeron M 350J, 360J, 370, 380?

    You should first check chipset compatibility.
    IIN case the chipset would support the new processor, you have a good chance to get the laptop works properly.

    I think the old series M50 Intel 915 PM/915GM/910GML chipset support.
    So, theoretically the
    -Intel Pentium-M Dothan (725/730/740/750/760/770) 1.6 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.86 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.13 GHz
    and
    -Intel Celeron-M Dothan (350J, 360J, 370) 1.3 GHz, 1.4 GHz and 1.5 GHz
    should be compatible.

    But be aware that portable upgrades from manufacturers don t support the CPU.
    So no one can tell which device is supported by the BIOS.

    Also, the Pentium CPU would create and produce more heat and this may affect the functionality of the laptop. In the worst case system and the RAM would be crashes due to the higher temperature.
