m17x r2 cpu's

So i'm curious .. my r2 came with a 720qm

if i decided i wanted to upgrade cpu's what can i use thats a direct replacement that doesnt require any extra parts..

 

You can use:

740qm
820qm
840qm
920xm
940xm

 

Thanks that helps alot

 

look on ebay for the ES chips, a hell of a lot cheaper than the OEM ones for practically the same performance. Buyer beware though

 

es? ...........................

 

ES= engineering sample
QS=qualification sample

 

ES=Engineering Sample

Basically these are pre-production CPUs for test and review of quality/performance before major production.

There is also QS=quality sample CPUs

 

I have used ES/QS CPUs for about five years now. If you get it from somewhere reputable, you have nothing to worry about. They perform exactly the same as an OEM chip, accept they can't technically be called OEM, so they're a good deal cheaper.

 

As above.
Used an ES Q9300 in my R1 for about 2 years now with no issues.

 

Here too, i have a ES 920xm and it performs superbly, a way of a lot faster then my 'old' 840QM

 

I will use this thread to solve my doubt, i have i5 520, can i use one of those i7, for example, 920Xm ?

 

Yes, you can Sir. I'd highly recommend a 920XM. They're getting less and less expensive too.

 

Thanks, my friend, i live in colombia, so, this is kinda expensive here, by the way, io dont have idea where to get them in here, i always look for bu nothing, can you pease point me to a link on evbay (one of them you will buy if this is for you), so, that way i'm going to the right place.
Thank you very much

 

INTEL quad mobile i7 920XM 3.2GHZ 8M PM55 KING! - eBay (item 160561582016 end time Apr-18-11 16:26:13 PDT)

Send him a fair offer

 

insanity only 380 dollars for an i7 920xm man with throttle stop you can push those things 3.6ghz on all 4 cores full time with room to breathe. That is an incredible deal as the overclocked 1st gen i7's run just about the same speed as a 2nd gen 2920xm running stock maybe even a bit quicker And it's not looking good for the overclock abilities of the i72920xm at least not good for the m17x. so 380 dollars for = or better performance then the current 800-900 dollar top of the line chip. Grab that deal fast

 

Sorry, i have a question, it say
Key Features
Processor Type Core i7
Clock Speed 2 GHz

2GHz?, i thought it was 3.2, and, someone here made deals with this guy before?, i can see than the guy is trust, great seller, but i want to know "real" opinions, thanks

 

that's the base speed. Another thing, since you are running single gpu and i-5 cpu, you may need to get a 240W power supply if you have the smaller one.

check wich one you have

 

By power supply you mean a power cord or another internal device?, and, what about if my electric system in here is 110 voltios, that cares?

 

Your power cord

 

I got this, it say: 100 - 240v





Would it work?

 

That's the 150W power supply. yes it works everywhere in the world but with different cords.
I think it won't be enough if you're planning on OCing that CPU.
You might want to buy the 240W one.

 

I'm not planing Ocing that baby, i think the 920X offer a good performance without it, or i am wrong?, i will not ocing it cause i live in a very hot place ( 32 - 37 C), i have a cooler, the NZXT, but isnt enought, i dont wanna take risks
Where can i buy the 250W power supply, just Dell?
