Upgrade Options for AMD 64 x2 TK-55

Well, ive just brought a lappy, particularly a HP TX1308 (with touchscreen =D)

But it only came with an AMD 64 x2 TK-55 processor, im planning on saving a little bit to buy a new processor because i need more power.

Can anyone tell me what are my upgrade options?, can i upgrade to a TL-66?

 

Any TL/TK series will fit in there, so yes you can upgrade to a TL-66.

 

I believe the tx1000 series offered up to the TL-64. Anything beyond that is dependant on whether the latest BIOS recognizes the newer processors. The socket has remained the same.

 

Right on!, TK/TL upgrade is what im looking for!

Thanks dude! =D

 

TDP goes from 31w to 35w TL-62 and above so possible heat issues. TL-60 Tyler is the highest you can go with same TDP.

 

Yeah but you can always undervolt and be well below the max TDP that your cooling system can handle.

 

Agreed but now I must ask since clearly OP wants more power, do think he would be able to overclock and undervolt and stay cool enough? I mean as long as we are talking about tweaking?

 

Actually when you overclock amd turion processors, it is recommended to undervolt. It runs more stable that way. Its weird. I know a few people who have oced their turion chips, and they said that it runs more stable when undervolted as well.

Also, there is no performance loss by undervolting. Undervolting is highly recommended on all turion and core based mobile processors.

1) He never said he plans on overclocking, so he should easily be able to undervolt and stay stable

2) I have overclocked my cpu while still running less volts than stock

 

I have just upgraded my turion TL-56 (1.8mhz) to a TL-68 (2.4mhz) in my FS Amilo xa 1526. As far as i am aware, the TL-68 will be the final Turion. The Turion Ultra which also uses the S1 socket, will not work because of a different pinout.

I was unable to find the TL-68 to buy on the internet so i bought one from ebay (which you can find here) for £135 + £10 delivery. It is the genuine article. As for temperatures, i replaced the thermal pads which came with the laptop with AS5 so i'm unable to give a true temperature comparison, however, my temp's have dropped 2c.

I hope some of that helps.

 

If it's socket S1 then it will have the same pin layout I think. If their gonna change the pin layout then their gonna change the name. That's so pple dont put the wrong processor in the wrong socket.

I mean look at the Intel sockets. Socket M and socket P are the same number of pins, but in a different layout. But Intel changed the name so to make it clear which is the right socket for your processor.

 

Actually from the AMD roadmap it will be S1g2 (whatever that is).

 

I agree wholeheartedly. And thanks to R400 we now know that the socket will be S1g2 and not simply S1. I do wish they would have made it clearer though, as every website i have been to so far referred to it as a socket S1 cpu.
