Asus G60VX CPU upgrade help

been searching for some sort of step by step pdf or some sort of forum post. cant seem to find anything...

 

I know there was a how to guid for this but I can find it?

Also I was wondering if the Intel E8435 would be a good CPU for this?

Any help on this would be great, thanks guys

 

Take the bottom panel off. Remove the 6 screws on the cpu cooler and unplug the fan. Rock the cpu cooler up and pull away. Turn the locking screw on the cpu socket swap the processors. Repaste and put it back together. There are two versions of the 8435 the usually cheaper one is 55w tdp and the more expensive one is the lower 44w tdp. X9100s are down to 250 now i even saw a new oem one for that so keep that in mind.

 

Yup, swapping this CPU is about as easy as taking off the bottom case.

 

So the 44w 8435 wouldn't work? Thanks for the quick run down by the way.
What W would be best to get the CPU? I read 35w but what would be the harm in the 44w?

 

Higher the TDP the higher the heat and power consumption to a lesser cpu. The 55w goes for about half the price of the 44w but its definitly not worth getting. I have seen the 44w 8435 up to 200 bucks which is why i bring the 250 dollar X9100 up.

Both are 44w so power consumption and heat will be comparable on the base clock. In comparison to the 35w model T series you might have the graphics card will actually run hotter at a given cpu load because the hot air from the cpu heat sink passes second through the GPU heat sink.

55W - Core 2 Duo E8435 SLAQD (C0) FF80576GH0836M
44W - Core 2 Duo E8435 SLGEA (E0) AW80576GH0836M

If for some reason you start looking at the E8335 remember that it has two different versions and the lesser is the 2.66 ghz lol. Eitherway if you go with an E series your looking at more heat and less battery life.

T9600's are down to 100 bucks but might not be a worthwhile upgrade not sure what your rocking.

 

Stock 2.13

The e8335 is $180 on eBay I want the x9100 lol

So the T99 or T98 would run hotter or colder?

 

Supposidly new for 208 - New Intel Extreme X9100 OEM SLB48 3.06GHz 6M L2 1066FSB - eBay (item 110607743701 end time Apr-04-11 03:51:42 PDT)

Off the rack new for 245 - Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 Mobile Processor SLB48 - eBay (item 140523431118 end time Apr-13-11 07:41:08 PDT)

Both are top rated sellers. I dont like the page of the cheaper one but a good working cpu is a good working cpu lol.

 

We should seriously consider stickying this subject. Read this post and perhaps the whole thread:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...vx-rx05-cpu-upgrade-question.html#post7029357

Pay the extra money to get an E0 stepping. It'll run cooler and OC higher.
If you get an E8335 or E8435 make sure it's either SLGEB or SLGEA. Other versions run hotter.

 

Thanks this thread helped, I. Going with the T9600

 

2.8GHz is a great step forward, and with SetFSB you can definitely push it past the big 3.0GHz mark, perhaps up to 3.2+! The 266MHz from the X9100 isn't worth the extra $50-100 imho.

If you need help with that just reply back here. The PLL used in the G50vt is ICS9LPR604AGLF. It might be the same on the G60.

 

Cool thanks guys

 

4Ghz not worth 50 bucks....

 

Haha I've yet to see an X9100 break 3.7 with stock cooling

 

That sucks I always figured the C2D mobile could reach it lol. Guess were gonna have to put it on a ITX Socket P board and use a Corsair H50 on it.

 

There was a guy somewhere on here who made a custom plexiglass cooler for his G50 and put a BUNCH of fans in it. Apparently it was like a leafblower but he could clock past 3.9 GHz safely.

I do wonder how mobile chips fare in terms of crazy OCing. You always see desktop chips being OC'd to insane clocks (7+GHz on liquid nitrogen) but I've always thought mobile chips were of higher quality and of similar architecture, it's just they have to run at lower voltages and therefore are probably of higher binning quality.
