From a t9400 to a Extreme mobile....!!!!!

Is an upgrade form a Mobile Intel t9400 to Intel Extreme Mobile Processor Possible?........................

 

yes, since both use socket P

 

Ramgen r u dead sure about that???????????????? also will a p45 motherboard with DDR2 ram supporta Extreme Quad mobile processor?

 

Which notebook is it ?

 

dv7 1022tx..............t9400 2.53GHZ,.........500 GB 5400 rpm, 4 Gig DDR 2 800, 9600 mGT.............with blue Ray..... HDMI n blah blah blah..............will there be a problem with such an upgrade?.................

 

No. Different sockets. Intel is about to release what are essentially noebook chips but with the correct pins for desktops.

 

You may not be able to put a Core 2 Extreme in just any T9400 laptop... The C2E X9000 and X9100 are both rated at 44W, whereas the T9400 is rated at 35W; boards that can't take the extra load *may* be locked down to not accept the Extremes. Or they might work and die a very ugly death.

And yeah, you can't put mobile processors in LGA775 boards.

 

A Penryn QC won't work. You can install the X9100, but there is really no point since you won't be able to overclock it through the BIOS.

A T9400 is a powerful CPU itself, and you won't notice a great performance boost going upto a X9100. It'll be better to invest in an SSD, rather than a faster CPU.

 

so what exactly is a SSD..........?

 

In general, probably not the best idea. Like Andy said, you're not going to see much of an improvement at stock speeds and you won't be able to OC it... so there's not much point other than wasting a bunch of money.

 

and why wont i be able to overclock the x9100 through the BIOS?.............

 

Because the dv7 BIOS won't let you.

 

Judging on your posts, I think you should just stick to software based modding and not mess around with the stuff inside. You might break something if you are not careful.

Edit: And have you seen the X9100 prices? They can be $900.

 

Oh!!!!!!!!!!Commander...am sorry am new here..... does that mean i wont be able to overclock any component on my dv7?

 

qaz333.............what components can i overclock on my dv7

 

I'm sure you can software overclock the GPU, but I'm pretty sure there's nothing you can use to do the same with the CPU.

 

SSD is a Solid State Drive. Read the sticky in the H/W forum.
You could go for an SLC SSD which would greatly improve the overall performance of the system. A CPU upgrade would only improve the performance of CPU-intensive tasks.

HP doesn't natively support the X9100, so its compatibility is unknown. And notebooks that can support an Extreme CPU need a beefier heat-sink, especially if they have to be overclocked.

I don't own a DV7t, so I cannot say anything about the compatibility. I have seen one user with a X9100 in the DV5t, so it should work in the DV7t as well.

so COmmander does that men the likes of Nibitor ect wont work on my BIOS?...............what about the RAM clock speed.....can i change dat my self?......................besides qaz333 hints that i shud stick to overcocking the t9400..............how?...........thank you

 

So....Andy.............can the t9400 by itself be overclocked in anyway?..........besides will a dv7 be comatible witha a SSD?.......

 

The T9400 has a locked multiplier, and the DV7t has a clock generator which is unknown, and its FSB cannot be overclocked using software. And, yes it will be compatible with a SSD.

 

Hey..Andy..u have been of Great help.................one last thing..........why wud a x9100 work and not a PerynQC?.......both use the same technology right.........

 

The Penryn QC needs a revised socket, because it has a different pin-out.

 

Do you even know a place that sells QX9300s and notebook SSDs in India?

That's the hard part for you.

 

Oh i see................I suppose the t9400 uses a P socket and the PerynQC uses a P"" socket....................whats the difference in the sockets?..........and correct me if am wrong.................the socke you have with your notebook cannot be changed....right?.............

 

qaz333.........dats not a problem.................we have plenty of retailers here who can do the job...............besides would you mind helping me wid nibitor .......am not able to tweak my bios..........

 

Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure the Penryn QCs are still Socket P... lest machines that accepted them could only take Penryn QCs and none of the traditional Socket P processors. Like if you wanted a Lenovo W700 with a QC, you'd need a whole different motherboard than if you wanted one with a T9400 or something.

 

Well Andy seems to suggest they use a different socket...........i dunno my self................i would like to believe that even the QC uses the same socket.......................i jus winder with so many different opiniions , which the right one is................................i like yor logc thiugh commander..........

 

socket is the same but the chipset may not support it. not all bios' will allow the use of the xtreme cpu's due to heat. but the penryns are all the same socket ..it may fit in the socket pin wise but that doesnt mean you will be able to use it

 

I am not really sure since I haven't tested this stuff myself. But reading the datasheets, and various articles, etc., the Penryn QCs do have a different pin-out, but the PGA is exactly the same. Hence the QCs are also known as Socket P CPUs. But a QC compatible motherboard, will have a revised socket, which will support both QCs and DCs, e.g. the new Sager NP5797, etc....

And as zfactor mentioned, BIOS support is the key thing. Though the DV5t is said to be compatible with the X9100, it is hard to say anything about the DV7t. You'll be better off waiting for the T9900, or go with a SSD.

 

The T9900 is due next april. Thats pretty far away.

And OP, you cant just tweak BIOS to allow overclocking. You're stuck there. No CPU overclocking for you.

And I think the QC wont work in regular laptops cause its two dies on one chip. Something like that.
