VOTE! different cpu upgrades for asus g51vx-rx05

t9600(2.8 ghz 2 cores 35W) $60(Cheapest price on ebay)
p9700(2.8 ghz 2 cores 25W) $180
q9000(2.0ghz 4 cores 45W) $165
X9100(3.06ghz 2 cores 44W)$120
t9900(3.06ghz 2 cores 35W) $190



which one should I choose?

 

get the top of the line...oh wait.

x9100 and t9900 has no difference except on the wattage?
X9100? cheaper

 

The X9100 will smash the T9900 because the extreme models can be unlocked and overclocked to the owners hearts content.

Or at least until the plugs melt or the mobo explodes

 

will the g51vx motherboard be able to handle the x9100 tho? if i use stock clock for x9100 44W wouldn't be a problem will it, as he said it is cheaper so I am REALLY considering it.


or I just might just get the t9600 if 2.8 ghz duo will have significant gaming performance increase then the s**tty p7350 2.0ghz that i have

 

yeah just get t9600, its worthy upgrade will overclock to 3ghz+ easy

 

My vote is the X9100

 

the first as the difference between t96 and p97 is not much.

the 3rd and 4th may cause you trouble with compatibility.

t99 is too expensive

 

Is it easy to change the CPU? I've had mine for two years and I'm about ready for an upgrade.

 

An E8435 would be the most bang-per-buck. Can be OCed to 3.8Ghz as shown here. See http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...t-upgrades/485240-e8435-t9900-good-price.html .

 

are you sure I can't go with the x9100? it is dual core isn't it? I just saw on another thread that says the rx-motherboard is not compatible with any quad core.

also, compatibility aside, is a dual core with higher clockspeed better or a quad with lower?

 

do you think i should upgrade my fan as well? or it should be fine? if it uses 10 more voltage? (p7350 is 25 W)

 

here too:
NEW Intel E8435 SLAQD 3.06G 6M 1066>T9800 T9600(=X9100) | eBay

same question : is it compatible with g51vx - rx05 tho, on the ebay site it just said compatible with g71

 

it will work fine, just remember it runs pretty damn hot.

 

so no need for fan upgrade? should i be aware of how long i am playing? I don't usually leave the temperature monitor open since I always feel like it uses too much cpu usage and ram.

 

I'd go for a X9100. ThrottleStop should be able to manage its multiplier and power usage, that's more than just increasing the FSB, from the case of i7 CPU I knew that Extreme version is the only kind of intel CPU that's worth upgrading to because the multiplier and the power usage are fully unlocked.

 

I've been experiencing temporary frame rate drops since I installed the E8435. I haven't overclocked.

Is there any way to fix this?

 

do the vent mod if you have not done it allready and then get nice cooler like the coolermaster notepal u3, which you can move the fan under the open hole you made with the vent mod

 

So i also have an asus g51vx-rx05. I want to run battlefield 3 better then what my p7350 @2 ghz can which i can get to run at 2.55 ghz. So which processor should i get? Also, when i buy the processor, who/where should i go to to have it installed?

 

SLAQB Intel CORE 2 DUO MOBILE E8235 2.80GHZ 6M 1066 Mfr | eBay

intel e8235 is a good buy.

ask maybe a friend or someone to install it, its not that hard

 

Pulled out of a mac? srry im not to good with this stuff but wont that have some sort of compatibility issues?

 

nope its just t9600 that runs bit hotter as mac cpus have a higher tdp, but it works 100%

 

Alright, Thanks. Now i must find someone that can install it. I have no friends who are good with computers.

 

I think Im just gonna buy a t9600, i don't wanna burn my gears

 

yeah if you have the extra bucks just buy the real thing

 

wait you have p8600? have you ever used e8430(or wutever we were talking about lol)? how hot is it? i mean if it doesn't do permanent damage to my gears Im cool with battery life reduce, i mean is a gaming LAPTOP how long do I really need it to run without plugin for. besides I can turn down the power option in battery mode.


have you ever use it? how did it treat you?

 

A E8435-3.06 is rated at 44W TDP (max). If it did run hot then you have the option of using Throttletop to undervolt it at it's max multiplier. Penryn CPUs have a lot of headroom so undervolt very well. They start at US$76 on ebay, cheaper than even a T9600, so represents excellent value for money.

 

C0 E8435s are rated at 55W. But that's semi-irrelevant.

bought a t9600 , kinda dumb i paid 90 bucks should have make a lower offer to the seller in the first place, but o well, let's just see what this baby can do, i plan on OCing so i don't wanna burn my gears with e8 stuff(they mostly have c0, the e0 step are all expensive).

whats the recommended oc range for t9600? think it will be enough for BF3 on medium settings?

 

Ah should have gone with a x9100.
I think you already have the best fan, the forcecon DFS541305MH0T F8U5

 

The X9100 is a lot more expensive though. You'd get another 20% performance perhaps (3.8+GHz vs 3.3GHz) for >250% of the price. Also, heat.

 

so is my fan gonna be fine?

 

as my first pm to you, is there any advantage of buying t9600 over e8435(c0 step or e0 step)?

 

You should read the PMs I send you.

Also, I linked this in the PM:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...-upgrades/599169-intel-e8435.html#post7763209

 

if you can add the intel e8435 its around 90$ and perform same as X9100 and T9900

 

X9100 QHBQ (E0) is successfully overclocked at 4.38Ghz here. That's the coolest running, highest performance dual-core for your system that only requires overclocking via unlocked multipliers.
