Acer Aspire 7738g-664g50mn
Please tell me is it possible to upgrade my laptop from T6600 to something X9XXX or Q9XXX?
Asus M51Va. From P7350 to T9900.
Hi.
I’ve got an Asus M51Va and I recently upgraded successfully my rig to Intel T9900.
I was a little surprised that temperatures were almost the same, between 35 C (in low power mode- approx. 800 MHz per core) to highest 85 C with heavy load ( strange multiplier x 12 and approx. 3,2 GHz per core).
T7250
Is the T7250 socket compatible with other socket p cpu’s? like the T9550?
CPU Upgrade ASUS G60VX
hello, can i upgrade my asus from p8700 to q9100?
Intel P8400 works fine with Lenovo g550
Intel P8400 works fine with Lenovo g550 (intel pm45 chipset) althought it is not listed in the compatible processors list. As a matter fact, there’s a few processors that are compatible with tthe chipset.
Here’s a link to a list of all compatible processors:
cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_%28chipsets%29/PM45_Express.html
intel T6600
I have a notebook: HP Pavilion dv7-2200eg
CPU: intel T6600
When it is possible I would change it with a better CPU
could anyone give me a advice please?

Great performance
Vostro 1720 T9900 upgrade
Changed out my P8600 for a T9900 yesterday and boy what a difference, if the chip will fit I urge you to just go ahead and mod, Dells are very easy to mod it’s as if they encourage it. Running a DVD using Power DVD (processing enhacement switched on) and streaming in a second screen (to stress test) and writing this commentary with no problems. I would not have been able to do this with the previous processor. I think the increase in L2 cache from 3MB to 6MB may have a lot to do with this.
So If you can do it, just do it.

T5800 to T9400 on Lenovo N500
Hello guys, just in case somebody is interested, I have changed the CPU of my Lenovo N500 with PM45 chipset and Socket P (478).
Old CPU T5800 -> New CPU T9400
No bios update and it works like a charm!
Just one thing: You need to change the thermal pads of the chipset and the GPU!
upgrade T5800 to T9500
Hello,
I read your comment that caught my attention as I do some research to replace the processor installed on an HP dv5-1123ef laptop with a PM45 chipset and a similar T5800 processor. I consider this replacement in order to access the VT-x (virtualization) but without being certain of the result because it is true that it depends on two other criteria:
— BIOS
— Chipset
Have you tested the virtualization with for example the installation of a VM x64? Or maybe you can just check that the VT-x option is enabled?
Thank you for your reply.
T3200
I know that this might sound stupid, but . Will this chipset support t3200?
I got toshiba tecra m10 and it is without cpu. I really wouldn’t like to invest in it that laptop. I just want to test if it works and then to sell it
T3200
I`ve got very old HP DV5 with PM45 Chipset and with CPU T3200.
So it will run!
upgrade ok.
Success with upgrade from acer 6930g with t5800 to t9600. With hd ssd, the boot is done in just 9 seconds, with the latest Intel ich9m driver, which seems to work fine on windows 10 64 pro.
Acer 7738G with T9600 & Acer 8920G or Acer 8930G with T9550 on PM45
I did many upgrades lately to boost the speed of these Acer laptops all with PM45 chipset.
All Acer laptops as mentioned in the title support the T9550 and T9600 without any problems.
I even managed to get the 7738G running on 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 Ram (1066MHz), just plug in the 2 sticks and it’s done!
The Acer 8920G & 8930G didn’t support the 8GB DDR3 Ram and still have the 4GB (2x2GB) sticks.
And at last I put in a SSD harddisk to make it even faster.
Works like a charm!
Hope that this info will help somebody.
Acer 7738G with T9600 & Acer 8920G or Acer 8930G with T9550 on PM45(2)
Forgot to mention that the T9550 CPU is running between 2662MHz and 2796MHz on Acer 8930G. But when high performance is needed it runs smoothly on 2796MHz and stays there.
This is without any overclocking because the Acer BIOS don’t support these functions.
ASUS N50Vc supported CPUs
According to ASUS support’s email ASUS N50Vc was tested with next CPUs:
INTEL T9500 2.6G Q9WW CPU FF80576GG0646M 894185
INTEL T9400 2.53G/6M SLB46 CPU AW80576GH0616M 897703

INT T5550/1.83G/2M/M SLA4E CPU LF80537GF0342MT 890184
My notebook had T6500 2.10G from scratch (strange that it is not in the test list).
Also from my experience:
Q9100 2.26G is not supported by this motherboard.
T9600 2.8G is supported.

Asus X71V
Hello,
I have a laptop asus x71v with processor p8600, pm45 chipset. It is interesting to me whether anyone can suggest which processor I can upgrade and if someone can tell me if I can load more than 4GB RAM?
Thank you!

p7450 to q9100 Sony Vaio
I have sony vaio vpccw1s1e i tried q9100 no boot at all now i ordered t9600 to test it
I have Hp Dv4 with PM45 chipset
So installed the Q9100 in a system with chipset PM45 and still did not work?
If your laptop never come with core2quad processors than it is not prepered for it so you might have to do some mods to get it working. Make a link between pin AD26 and D22 to give a GTL_REF for the second die, otherwise only core 0,1 will be work and you will not getting trough the bios settings. Break out pin D8, AA7, AA8, AC8 and AE8 from the cpu. These pins are used for debug on core2quad cpus while on core2duo it is usally vcc or gnd which can interfere the quad cpus. If it is still not working you maybe have to update your cpu microcoding in your bios. I have done that on my Dell Studio XPS 1640 (same PM45 chipset) with a q9100 what I was bought for only 9pounds from ebay and it is worked. Now I’m wating for my qx9300.
