    Hi All
    the spec of the X53E is similar to A53/K53
    with B940/2G/500G

    Bios update to 213

    I am trying to plug in i7 2720QM and i7 2620M on it but no boot.
    I am wonder anyone had experience on it?
    Do i need to increase voltage b4 i switch CPU or it had lock on bios?

    thanks
    Franki

    this is an example of X53E sold wit a Core i7-2630QM: link.

    It seems that the Core i7 quad is supported natively.
