Intel Mobile Processor Compatibility Guide

I have successfully bought the T9600 processor for my laptop. I have to wait about 1-2 weeks, hopefully not longer than that, to get it.
Got it for $50 inclusive shipping to my place, I think it worth the extra $5 from T9550 ($45) and extra 7 from T9400 ($43)

Once I receive it, I will try to change, and let other people know the results, who are trying to upgrade a similar laptop.

Thank you all for your help!

Suhail

 

I received my processor. A lot quicker than I expected! Not 2 days, but within a week!

I couldn't wait, and as I had prepared nearly everything from before, all I had to do was change my processor.
Today, I can confirm, that I have successfully upgrade my processor from T6600 to T9600! (my laptop being hp dv6 1362nr model).
I have to say this is one of the cheapest if not the cheapest investment I have made for my laptop! And definitely one of the best if not the best!

For those who are wondering if it makes a difference to "playing games" in terms of performance and increase in fps, it does:
As I had recorded fps of games from my old processor, I will able to see if there is a difference in fps with the new processor.

Right now, I have just checked on 1 game, Fifa 13. With my old processor, with the lowest settings (very low settings), my fps would be 29-31, which is laggy for fifa, unless is above 35-40.
With the new processor, with medium settings, my fps is 60! No lag at all. I did not know it would make this huge of a difference. I just thought maybe 10fps or something, but I guess processor does make a difference.

Sorry, I know this is out of context and not quite related to this thread, I just thought had to share for those who are wondering the same things. If you want to know for different games, you can ask me.

Thank you commander wold and tilleroftheearth for all your help. Really appreciated!

 

sorry, commander wolf* not wold

If you are gamer, it is definitely worth the investment and money to upgrade the processor!

 

I just hope you got the T9600 with Core Stepping E0.
The C0 core stepping version runs hotter than E0 (at least it does in my laptop), especially when playing games and can easily explain why it costed $50 (its how much mine costed).
I will have to switch this one out because its not efficient thermally and replace it with E0 (which is more expensive).

 

Wow, I did not know it mattered. Checking now you can get the core stepping E0 for $40-50 and they are the majority being sold. You see, there are not many people who wants to ship outside US, and those who did, priced their processors really high. If I lived in US, I would have gotten the newer one for $40-50. Of course, I did find out right now that I have with C0 stepping, though I did knew my spec code and that it was the old one, just didn't knew it would make a difference in heat.

Maybe you are right, my laptop went as high as 69*C and 67*C respectively without playing any games, idle. I just have to see if it goes above 75* with playing because this is as high as it went with the old processor.

I would personally recommend you to buy a notebook cooler, specifically name cooler master cs storm sf 19. Apparently it is the best at the market, and it does a great job at cooling (5-10*C) I myself need a cooler, and will buy one soon.

 

I had a laptop cooler.
Zalman NC200B years ago.
I sold it because since then I decided to undervolt the GPU and CPU which brought down my overall temperatures to 75 degrees C for the CPU when maxing it out in games... and similar for the GPU.

That was when I had my P7350 CPU (2.0GhZ dual core 25W cpu).
Now... ever since I decided to upgrade my laptop with a new cpu, I first got the X9100 with C0 revision. Temperatures were fine at first, but gradually rose to the point of overheating after several days only. It took a re-paste job for the temperatures to go back to 75 degrees under load... but it didn't matter because after 3 or 4 days, they would rise to the point of overheating.
I then sold the CPU and decided to get the T9600... except that I forgot to check for the core stepping and got the C0 (again).

Since C0 runs hotter, it brought the T9600 to the point of overheating at one time.
I decided enough was enough and that I need to get the E0 core stepping, because otherwise, temperatures go out of control in my laptop.
The cooling in my Acer is relatively poorly designed, seeing how the CPU and GPU share 1 heatsink.
Temps ARE manageable (in mid 70-ies after undervolting on load) if the core stepping is E0, but if its not... then eventually it will go to the point of overheating because the cooling cannot handle it.

Problem is... the T9600 E0 is priced at about $100 in total. Around $50 initially, but the delivery is another $45 (which is a rip-off).

 

Do you not live in the US? I see E0 T9600s (SLG9F) on US eBay for the same $45ish as the older ones...

 

I would personally recommended you to buy a notebook cooler. I have been researching about them for quite a few months, and they help a lot, if you get the right cooler.

The problem with coolers such as Zalman is the fan is built in (you can move it, and it will usually provide air in one part of the laptop and that part may not be where your laptop fan is or where it gets hot. CS storm sf19 has great reviews, and they are 2 large fans built in adjustable and making sure, air is provided in most of the laptop. I had a normal belkin cooler when I first bought my laptop, and it helped cool off about 5 degrees, which was great especially when playing games.

Like Commander Wolf said, don't you live in the U.S? Even if you don't live in US, there is a top-rated seller in eBay selling the core step up E0 processor who will ship outside US for $9. I was going to buy from him for total of $70, but right now he has discount to total of $64 or something (including shipping) (at the time, I was saving $20, and did not know any difference in stepping).

I can't sell of my CPU in here, and will try to play a few games that I already have. If it goes to 75*C (as with my old processor), I personally think that is acceptable, especially without a notebook cooler, But I have a feeling it is going to go a lot higher than that. Today I experienced went as high as 73* C overall, that being on idle, without playing games, which never happens. This frankly scares me, I will have to try to play a game to see.

If you can afford it, why don't you go for P9500/9600/9700 processors? They are 25W cpu?

I have never undervolt my cpu, and don't know how to do so. Also on last note, are you using the best thermal paste available on market?

 

I don't live in US.
I'm in Croatia.
Btw... I found the said poster.
Its worth considering.
Will have to wait a day or so because I'm low on cash atm.

 

I hate to say it, but I think you are right in terms of heating. My laptop went to 85 *C while playing a game. That is way too much. Never happened that much. I am just wondering at what temperature, I will risk damaging the processor, or anything else. It says the max temperature, the processor can handle is 105. Man, I really did not know the the C0 or E0 would matter.

If you manager to change your processor, let me know if it makes a difference, and if it does, I will consider changing it, and somehow selling this processor.

Thanks

 

85*C is still ok.
Actually, its in line with what my P7350 gave off maxed out (with the GPU of course) before undervolting.
Some laptops CAN handle the C0 revision, but their cooling has to be designed well.

I suggest you use ThrottleStop to undervolt your CPU.
At 10.5 multiplier, I was able to lover the voltage to 1.62V (that produced stable results).
1.5V was the lowest voltage I could achieve, and while it was stable most of the time, SW TOR crashed by itself on that voltage (so I keep it at 1.62V) - probably because the game has its own spikes on power demands that 1.5V cannot provide.

People who use my Acer 5930G and had the T9600 E0 cpu didn't experience high temperatures.
Simply speaking, the E0 revision runs cooler and could be undervolted lower in some cases compared to C0.
E0 is a must-have for laptops that have a poorly executed cooling system.

 

Clearly, my laptop is not able to handle to C0 revision very well. Old hp laptop especially dv6 (my one) are best known for their heating problems, they have one of the worst if not the worst heating design (for old hp dv6 laptops) that is why hp changed their cooling system with their new laptops. My laptop always had heating problems, I have done so much to try to make it cooler, that is why my initial worry was when upgrading processor if it will heat up my laptop.

Will undervolting the CPU cool off my laptop?

I checked for T9600, there is also E1 version, don't know if it is any difference from E0. I will try my laptop out for a week, see how it goes, it went higher than 85*C, to 87*C. My main worry is, that I won't be able to sell of the C0 T9600 in here, and will end up spending double altogether for just one.

I did upgrade my Bios, before changing the processor, and the air somehow flows better, previously when my laptop went to 75*C (with old processor) , I could feel the heat while typing, and touching the area, would burn the hands. Now, at 85*C, its not that bad, don't know whats wrong with my laptop (but it did say on the bios upgrade, that it will fix the thermal flow or something). You should check for a BIOS upgrade, too see the improvements, etc..

And also, let me know, if you get the T9600 processor, then I will just wait for you to be 100 % sure, if it helps with the cooling.

Thanks

 

@ Deks:

So did you manage to change your processor? mine now goes to 95*C, to which I have made auto-stand by. I lost big time on gold market early last week and 2 weeks ago, so I may have no choice for now, but if it makes a difference for you, I will save up, and change myself.

Do let me know mate,

Thanks,

 

Hi everyone,

One more question. The P9600 has a max TDP of 25W. As my laptop gets really hot, and with the new T9600, it is just worse. If I get P9600, will it help with cooling the laptop down?
I basically wanted to know, if less power of P9600, would mean that laptop would be cooler than it normally is? will it affect the performance, less power that is.

Thank you

 

I am trying to undervolt my CPU, couldn't find an undervolt guide for throttle stop, so used RMclock instead.

I only see max of 10.0x multiplier and what do you mean by 1.62v? as on VID I saw 1.2250 which mine was and have currently lowered to 1.1250 and testing it out. As you have the same processor, it will help to see what is the lowest VID you could change to.

Thanks

 

It will vary from CPU to CPU. You are supposed to find it in an iterative way - look for a thread called like "The Undervolting Guide" (or something like that). That'll give you instructions on how to undervolt with RMClock.

That being said, 1.62v is very high for what I've seen from Penryn CPUs... I think he made a typo.

EDIT: Please do not double post within 24 hours. There is an Edit button for your editing convenience. Thank you.

 

Whoops...
That was supposed to be written as 1.062V at 10.5 multiplier.
On 10x multiplier, I was able to go down to 1.025V.

P.S. No I still didn't manage to change the CPU. Severely low on cash at this point... not going to happen anytime soon I'm afraid.

 

Thank you Commander Wolf and Deks. And sorry for the double post, I didn't know you could re-edit, thanks for telling me.

I followed the undervolting guide on here which has a separate thread on how to do it using RMclock

Mine, somehow doesn't have the 10.5 multiplier, it only shows 10.0 multiplier on rmclock, but maybe different on throttlestop (I think I saw 10.5 multiplier), even though I heard throttlestop is very simple, I do not understand or know how to do it using that, so followed the guide on rmclock instead.

So until I changed it 1.0625V, the max it would go was 101*C (after 100 minutes) (I tried for 1.150 and 1.100), now the max goes to 93*C (after 100 minutes), oh yess!!! Thanks Deks! Don't understand the other multipliers considering they are higher than my current amount. (can you list yours for other mulitpliers?)

Thanks Commander Wolf and Deks for helping, saved me a lot

P.S, me too, after undervolting it, I am quite happy as of now, have bought this fan extractor from ebay for about $5 (incl shipping) and will see if it makes an
extra difference. Will let you knows.

 

If your CPU was reaching 101*C after 100 minutes on regular voltages, and now 93*C undervolted on 10x multiplier (indicating your CPU is operating at 2.6 GhZ), then it would appear your cooling is even more gimped than my own.

I recommend you replace that CPU with T9600 that has E0 core stepping, or a P series cpu (such as P9600 or P9700) - I will do the same when the financial situation gets better.
My temps seem to be relatively stable for now, so there's no immediate need on my end to replace the CPU... but you suhailooji could experience potential problems down the line at running the CPU at such temperatures.

As for using ThrottleStop...
Its fairly simple.
You open it, and check the field where it says 'Set multiplier'. Make sure its at 10.5.
And the field below that (VID) controls the voltage.
Just use the arrows next to the VID field to modify the voltage to lower numbers... such as 1.062V at 10.5 multiplier.

 

sorry I think I forgot to mention it was after the stress test to check its stability. My cooling sucks, and rmclock was quite complicated to use, you had to do stuffs, for the half multiplier to been seen.

Thanks to you, I was able to use ThrottleStop, and man it is easy and simple (and now its 2.8ghz and not 2.6 ghz ). Thanks a lot, I did the same voltage as you did and now checking the stability. Can we change the other multipliers? like for 10x to what you did? It would help if you could mentions yours (other multipliers), and I will just do like yours

P series are very expensive, though I have found a cheap p9600 for $60, p9700 similar to our current one is over $150. I am really low on cash as well right now, so just have to find a way to cool my laptop. This undervolting this has really helped, thanks just to you Deks! If I am on idle, and just use the internet or so, my temps stays 55-60 *C, which I think is alright, is only when I play games..

Thanks once again!

 

Yes I know the P series is more costly.
Too costly if you ask me (same goes for E0 core stepping T series).
By modern standards, those CPU's are 4 years old, and should be priced well below $100.
There's 0 logical reason for P9700 to be priced at $150.

As for other multipliers... well I don't really play around with them too much.
I just use 10.5 or 10 multiplier and appropriate voltages, and that's pretty much it.
The lowest I was able to achieve at 10.5 multiplier was 1.05V, and this setting works fine most of the time... however, when I was playing Star Wars TOR, the game did have a tendency to occasionally stop functioning and throw me back to the desktop.
Other functions and programs seem to react fine most of the time to 1.05V with no problems.

Play around with the settings yourself while stress-testing the CPU to find what your own lower Voltage can be (because every chip has different tolerances).
I'm just providing a base guideline,

 

Yea, I don't know why. I think they are taking advantage of the fact that people with old laptops or stuck with this particular chipset cannot upgrade to "i" processors, so have to be stucked with core 2 duo, the only solution, upgrade to faster core 2 duo.

I am also very worried, that this much heat will damage my laptop sooner or later, if only i knew it before, I would have never bought the C0 stepping and went for E0 stepping), now I can buy T9600 E0 for $50, but frankly I am just worried if it will make much difference and if rather I should go for "P" series. Regardless, I can't do anything now, as I am money-tight and also do not want my current T9600 to go completely waste, I did pay $50 for it so i really don't know, maybe have to switch back to old if it is giving too much problem.

For me, the 1.0625v for 10.5 multiplier doesn't seem enough as well, it gives problem when playing game, though I have to do couple of hours of stress test to be completely sure, and to check if I can lower it. Hopefully I won't have to higher it.

For not, I just feel like a dumb, paying $50 for no good processor. Thanks for this important info though, in future, I will always switch to the latest stepping.

 

@ Deks.

If in the future or currently or whenever you change your processor to E0, please post your results here, if it made any difference in the cooling bit. It will help people like me a lot. Thanks man.

Currently, I am still with the C0 t9600 but not much active in terms of games, as it really heats up, easily to 95*C, thinking to switch bad to old processor until I can replace my new one. Also I am not sure, if formatting my laptop will help as haven't formatted in 2 years, but as too much data, can't really.

If any other have the same experience, please do let us know, and what you did for it.

Thank you everyone

 

Unless you have extra programs running in the background that are pushing your CPU to work overtime, there's no reason to think a format will lower your temperatures... besides, your CPU would have to be running on full load for those temperatures.
Also keep in mind that in games, especially if your laptop only has 1 heatsink which is shared between the CPU and GPU, your overall temperatures will be higher when playing games (which also depends on how much of the CPU/GPU they utilize) than comparing to programs that might just use the CPU only.

Incidentally, if you do a fresh install however, you might experience more fluidity from your system because its 'fresh' (though you can do this by removing excess programs and things you don't really use, followed by running ccleaner in terms of regular and registry cleaning).
In rare cases, simply uninstalling some programs might not be enough as some services can remain in the system - in such an instance, a format might be advisable to get a clean slate, but as I said before, unless you have programs running in the background that are taxing your CPU, there's no reason to think a fromat would lower your temperatures.

I will keep you apprised however if I make the switch (at some point I probably will - but right now I'm strapped for money and cannot afford it).

 

Sorry for my very late reply.

I have so many things running. So many things installed. Yes I have one heatsink on my laptop. They both go very high, but the CPU goes higher than GPU.

I did follow your advise, and used ccleaner to clean up. I am worried, however, viruses maybe on my computer, that slows it down overall, but I have so many things installed, and it will take a long time to install them back after formatting. It is just a headache, as C is where my Windows is, and D harddrive space is only 2 GB (for recovery). I always close most programs running on my background as they are a lot.

Ok, thank you. Please do. I can't afford it right now as well, but might go for p8800 which right now costs me $40, when I can afford it.

Edit: I think I got confused. I thought P8800 was P9600! P9600 is so expensive right now! Damn!

Thanks for all your help man. Hopefully very soon, you will have a revised t9600 which will really help with the cooling of your laptop

 

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and I saw all the posts about intel processors, motherboard compatibility and I want to give it a try. I have a PackardBell SW 35 (that CPUZ recognize as MV35), the chipset is
ATI RS400/RC400/RC410 Chipset
ATI SB400 Southbridge
the CPU:
Intel Celeron M 410 @ 1.47 Ghz
Socket M (though CPUZ lists as 479 mPGA)

I wanted to upgrade the CPU and I bought a T5600 which is WAY too different from what the motherboard supports. So I'll try something like Intel T2080 which worked for a guy ( CPU Upgrade Advice - AnandTech Forums) who have moreover same specs.

Hope someone will help
Thanks

 

I've said it before and I'll say again: it's always a crapshot with the non-Intel chipsets unless someone has done it before. The T2080 should be fine if that other guy got it to work. Chances are the 2MB L2 T2x00 series should also work.

 

Thanks for your reply. I decided to go on a T1500 (wanted to minimise incompatibility so I went on a Core Solo). I'm waiting for it and will provide feedback.

 

Ok the T1500 just didn't fit.

 

Thanks to Intel's awful naming schemes, there's two T1500s... and only one is a Core Solo; you probably got the Merom-based Celeron, which, as you have discovered, will not fit.

 

Haha what a joke, I'm over with this, I'm buying a new laptop.
Thanks for your answers

 

Dear Commander Wolf!

I'm soooo glad, that you make this topic (especially the first post list).
I have an Asus F5SL laptop with SiS M671DX chipset just to make my life harder..., intel T2370 (1700,1024,533,35-Merom-Socket P), almost an unknown motherboard but Aida64 said its a PEGATRON CORPORATION F5SL with max. 4GB ddr2 667 ram and FSB 533-800 support.

After a hole week of reading (sometimes translating from polish, russian etc.), searching, benchmarking, thinking, calculating, emailing with official Asus and Intel support, etc. i didnt know that my laptop is able to run with a faster Penryn 1066 FSB cpu or not. Few commenst say yes, other say no... i found some online benchmark result with 1066 fsb cpu's, so i made a decision:
"grab the cheapest one and test it myself"

So i bought a C2D P7350 (2000,3072,1066,25-Penryn-3M-Socket P) and put it in. What do you think happened?
Yes, its work. And on 1066 FSB, so my lying Asus documentation went to the trash

For the truth is that its actually works on a +4-7 Celsius higher. I think its because in idle mode T2370 goes down to 800MHz, but this P7350 cant go under 1600MHz in frequency.

So if you want, write this on the first post, i can give any information if you need something else.

Last but not least here is my online benchmark result with just 32bit test mode (cuz i dont pay for it):
T2370: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. F5SL - Geekbench Browser
P7350: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. F5SL - Geekbench Browser

PS.: when i change the CPU, i also swith my 1GB ram modul to 2GB, thats why the first show 3gb and the second 4gb max.


Best regards from Hungary,
R.

 

@Deks

There is some good news and bad news. I managed to buy E0 revision, intel core 2 duo T9600 processor couple of weeks ago, but it took a while to receive it (as they mis-sent the item elsewhere). I was very excited to change it and had been waiting eagerly for it (as I know, I am very busy this 1 month). I changed it successfully, applied brand new, top of the line, thermal paste to it.

As you can see below:


You could be wondering why it shows 1.038V, and only 2.66ghz, caused I changed the multiplier to 10.0x and the volt to 1.0375. The original VID with the new revision came with 1.1875V and I did an almost 2 hour stress test with original settings. I wasn't too happy with it, because the results were very disappointing, maybe even worse than my C0 revision processor. (Core temps shows a max of 101*C processor, same as before. Also the CPUID tem results are same as before, or a bit higher even):



I think the only visible or satisfactory difference is on idle mode, basically when you are doing nothing or at max, for example: writing on this forum. Its right now 44*C at 10.0x multiplier with 1.0375V (-0.150V from original). I guess, before it used to be 51*C at around the same settings. Of course, I may have to do more tests and all. I have tried playing games as well, and the state is like before, maybe a difference of -5*C to -7*C. I have to play more and do more tests to be sure. Unfortunately this 1 month, I am very busy, so I won't be playing any games, and using the laptop very minimum, but can do some app tests- not a problem.

Let me know if you would like me to do some tests to better evaluate its temp info. I got this for pretty cheap, a bit lesser than my C0 T9600, but altogether, it ends up about a $100 investment, and to be honest, I don't know if changing at all, was worth it or not, as I am worried sooner or later, the heat caused by new processor, may really show up and mess my Motherboard and other components of my laptop...

 

Thank you for the update suhaillooji.
I kept the T9600 I got.
I'm running it on 10.0 multiplier and 1.0250 V.
Speeds are acceptable as are temperatures when either gaming or doing CPU intensive work.
Of course, with the summer-like temperatures (that can go up to 40 degrees C here in Croatia - mostly they are at 35 to 38 degrees C - it can be 'tricky' to keep the thing cooled, but fortunately, insulation here is good, so internally, its a mild increase - good enough for non-demanding games and other tasks actually).

 

No problem Deks.
I will be running some stress test myself to see what is the lowest stable Volt I can keep for both 10.5 and 10.0. Meanwhile its like yours but on 1.0375V.
Whats your current IDLE temperature, and CPU intensive work or when gaming? Does other component in your laptop such as the GPU and Motherboard heat up like mine?
I will be honest, it is better than before, but if yours temp levels are on normal or on bearable level, wouldn't recommend you changing it. Of course, I can keep you updated on the performance and temp wise if you ever intend to change in the future.

I am currently happy with mine IDLE temp, but maybe it has to do a bit due to the weather as well (even though it is also summer here, there is a drop of -7*C due to rain). HP has a very bad heating solution for older laptops, and even when playing non-demanding games such as the first "Mafia" game (which was released more than 10 years ago), the laptop really heats up (thanks to undervolting and you, it doesn't reach my auto sleep down mode- 95*C)

 

I saw this in another thread and had the urge to reply to it as soon as possible. So, I'm here to fix that. I've been repeatedly told that I've got the GL960 chipset, and yet I've had a Penryn Celeron 925 work in my ASUS X58L and I'm currently using a Core 2 Duo T5900, and have been happily since March 11, 2013. The crappy 3 GB RAM problem still persists though.

I'm currently trying to work out the exact differences between my laptop and my girlfriend's Lenovo R61. Hers came with a Celeron 550, which would make me think that she has the GL960 chipset. CPU-Z seems to think otherwise (reporting GM965, although I get GL960 with mine -_-).

Furthermore, in Speccy and CPU-Z, I'm getting GL960 rev.C0 with southbridge revision B2, while she gets GM965 rev.C0 and southbridge revision B1. What's going on here?

Dylan.

 

I'm fairly confident all R61s came with 965PM. You can look at the markings to be sure; I don't think it's that hard to take off the heatsink in an R61.

 

I have the R61 specification documentation stored locally. According to that, they come with PM965, GM965 and GML960 (whatever that is) chipsets. If it helps, she has the R61 8930-A41.

Oh, and I know that it has the GMA X3100 graphics chip, so that rules out PM965.

 

Sorry, I meant to say a 965 as opposed to a 960, not specifically a P or G.

 

Okay, thank you.

Do you know what the difference is between the GL960 and GML960?

 

Hi there,

I would like to ask all of you for help with replacing my cpu; currently (according to CPU-Z) I got T5870, Socket P(478), chipset PM45; how far can I go with it? I have an offer for T9400 and T9600 and I came across T7500 IIRC. The T9600 one looks most promising;

my notebook has GT240M and it has a lot of potential in it, but the processor is holding it back; if I manage to take CPU to its level, maybe my old asus N51Vn could catch up to much more expensive notebooks that are right now on the market.

 

Going to the T7500 isn't worth the time or money from your T5870. You would never notice the difference. If you system's cooling is handling the T5870 okay I would go for the T9600 as that would be at least noticeable.

 

And about compatibility, should there by any issue with the replacement?

 

That's always a crap shoot as the bios might not support a specific cpu. No way to know for sure without trying it. Try searching this thread and googling your specific model and the cpu you want to try to see if you can find any success (or unsuccessful) reports on that combination.

 

Are there any similar guide but for more recent cpus?

The list Commander Wolf made hasn't been updated for a while. I have put together a list of Westmere/Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge mobile CPUs similar to Commander Wolf's format. The name of the CPU is followed by its MHz and L2 cache size. These CPUs use DMI (direct media interface) instead of FSB (front side bus).

Yeah, I didn't update the guide for Arrandale/Clarkdale and later because I don't think there's quite the confusion that there was in the past:

Each generation of chipset basically only supports CPUs from that generation, except in the case of the Ivy Bridge chipsets, which can also take Sandy Bridge CPUs in most cases (but not vice versa).

The only other compatibility issue I'd watch for is using Clarkdale chips (no IGP) in systems that were only designed to use Arrandale chips (with IGP) because the IGP is no longer on the NB. With Sandy and later, everything has an IGP, so even this becomes a non-issue.

 

I have one more question; what is the worst that can happen? Like if CPU is damaged/burned et cetera and we put it in, is there any and if, how severe risk for motherboard and whole notebook damage? I would not mind spending few bucks on damaged CPU but it would be really bad if it ruined my notebook; the guy, who is offering it, doesn't seem too much trustworthy. Is there any possibility to test the CPU on site, without the need of putting it in notebook? I fear I already know the answer ... Thanks in advance!

 

I just want to thank the person that put all these processor stats on here. you are my hero. I couldnt get this from the in tel sites that I visited..Thanks Again. Kudos

 

If it's damaged, it won't work. Using second hand processors, however, is fine.
