upgrade cpu XW8600 question

I have a xw8600 works two Xeon E5420 processors, an EVGA GTX580, 1 SSD, 2 HARD disk, 16 GB of RAM 3 GB and 2 scanners on the power graphics card standard 800 watts.   Currently, all readings of temperature I can access are in the normal range.

I'm considering upgrading processors X 5460 Xeons.  Is it possible to determine if the 80 extra watts needed running the Xeons X 5460 will be an overload of the power of 800 watts power?

First of all, load the latest version of the BIOS for the xw8600 if you have not already done this.

You run two TDP max 80 Watt processors, and X 5460 are each 120 watts.  The amount of material you have xw8600 is not excessive, and your food will manage this total 80 watts extra without problem.

You'll want to read on the 'performance' radiator/fans for these processors power more high... aka "double-height' we talked about here.  Search for both terms.  Double coconut trees have two fans, a little different wiring and better cooling capacity.  They make more noise, of course.  Speaking of which, on my xw8400 my fan base speed up when I am with 16 GB of RAM, but not with 12 GB.  Here is a link to my previous post on the "large double" thermal performance heat sink / fan xw8600 and use of it in a xw8400.  There is information here that is worth reading:

/T5/workstations-z-series-XW-series/XW8600-performance-double-tall-fan-modification-for-xw8400/m-p/5846271#M13965

Lets say you really just want the zip but aren't going to be hammering those hard processors.  You probably could if away with sticking with your original radiator/fan and first watch your time QuadCore with HWMonitor (free) for you ensure that your workload does not heat stress while get you an idea of how things are going.  It is clear from previous work on the wiring for a project xw8400 that adding a shunt sense rpm 3-Socket 5 plug wire would be how to usurp map mother xw8600 thinking that it was a 'performance' heatsink thermal / fan installed.  It would be to see RPM sense data for both fans of radiator/2 double height of Socket 3 and 5 this way, which is what a xw8600 wired in peripheral stock provides.  The motherboard can recognize that a higher power processor has been installed.  Alternatively, just buy two of the double coconut off eBay.

X 5460 on eBay are about 140.00 for two, used and you want the latest sSpec code which is SLBBA.  Furthermore, you cannot use the processors that do not appear in the BIOS firmware, and you see the list of the latest version of xw8600 QuickSpecs.

Given that Intel sells about 1250.00 new X 5460 with this code sSpec each sounding like an eBay project.  Search eBay under "SLBBA".

I have a xw8400 I upgraded to 2 x X 5365 Quad-cores, also 120 watts max TDP, and fans of heatsink of heat/2 high double devices did not exist for the xw8400... so I got a xw8600 double height and a large single and did the mod wiring posted on the forum here to reproduce the wiring diagram of the xw8400 (different from the the xw8600 wiring diagram).  The processor under the single large turn a bit warmer than under the double height, but not by much.  I did run them simultaneously for months, no problem.  There are pictures and much more in this post.  So personally I would like to experiment with the great one more rider RPM wire 3 to 5 first approach and use type xw6600/xw8600 heatsink / fan already appropriated you.

    No, the graphics card can not be upgraded

    What you can do, it is memory and the upgrade of the HARD drive. This should be very easy and should cause no serious problems.

  • 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.

  • Satellite A300-1ED - upgrade CPU of PDC to C2D

    Hi all
    Small question. I still have six months toshiba warranty on my A300-1ED. laptop is very good. Never fail. But it lacks performance so I want to upgrade my PDC T2390 to some C2D processor.
    Tell me what model of C2D my A300-1ED runs (card mother and bios)? T7500? T5750? Frequency FSB? 667 or 800?

    Someone at - he do it before?

    Thanks for all the tips!

    Hello

    First of all, you will lose the warranty if you would disassemble the laptop!
    This should be clear to you.

    Then there is no guarantee that your laptop would go well and stable after this upgrade the CPU.
    I m thinking about issues of compatibility between the processor and BIOS since the BIOS was pretested with the other processors.

    However, I have read some threads here on the CPU upgrade and some users do that
    Seems that some laptops run without any big problems after upgrade CPU, but I think it's not consistent for all series

    This Forum on NECK, we discussed several times the upgrade. For best performance, a lot of people want to upgrade CPU. Update CPU is not supported, and in particular cooling system, each laptop model is designed to work with certain hardware platform.

    In general the Qosmio laptops have the best material with excellent performance, so I put t know why you think the CPU upgrade. In my opinion, you should spend RAM and HARD drive. It is supported and can be done by the owner of the laptop without losing the warranty valid.

    Maximum RAM HDD Upgrade and upgrade with SSD and you will see the difference. You will be surprised with the speed of your laptop is.

    I ve do on my laptop. It works perfectly now. Think about all of this.

    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 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
