    Does any one tried to upgrade CPU on the Lenovo G510 model to Extreme Edition Processors?

    As I understand cause it's has Socket G3/FCPGA946 with Haswell chipset, so max CPU It can support are:
    Intel i7 4940MX Extreme Edition.
    Intel i7 4930MX Extreme Edition.

    On this Laptop I have upgraded RAM to 16GB (2x8GB DDR3L), multiple VM can run now.
    And placed two HDD 1TB each one, second HDD instead of CD-RW by using HDD Caddy.

    No one has as it won't work.. There won't be BIOS support for them.. Your best choice probably would be a 4810MQ or 4900/4910MQ.. Don't even bother trying those 2 extreme processors..
