    Hi, I came here to this community mostly because of this topic http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/pll-pinmod-overclocking-methods-and-examples.393027/ and here goes my main question.

    I got an old asus K40 IJ series with Celeron T3000 installed on it and I'm looking for some decent CPU to replace it with.

    Thing is I'm not even sure if that old GL40 chipset won't get overheated even with T9300 (this is definitely a problem I don't want to get by any means possible) and the other cpus... Well let's just say I'm not an overlocker or a benchmarker I just need that laptop to be able to do all its office functions.
    So the question is. Is x9000 too hot for that laptop? (T3000 TDP is 35wts against 45watts for x9000 but it gives a pretty nice power boost). Would installing x9100 give me any benefits like a cool cpu or some more power?

    Here is a perfect reason why I am asking all that: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compar...vs-Intel-Core2-Extreme-X9000/1008vs1010vs1029

    And the last question - Is it worthy to get T9500 over T9300 just because of some ~139 conventional points of computing power? The cost difference is somewhat about twice of the price.
