compaq presario cq56 t4500 to x9000

Hi everyone after looking everywhere it seem my laptop can handle this


the cooling is more than adequate in the bed blocking the airflow i cant go over 70c in aida 64


so anyone know if i can use a intel x9000 and use throttle stop to overclock it a bit ? could be fun ( will add a ssd later


this laptop look like crap but at least he can run 4+ hour with my extended battery

thank you

 

A CPU-Z shot of the motherboard tab would be a good start. If it's GM45, you can probably get X9100 running, but if it's GM40, more likely than not you wont be able to get Extreme in there. You can always try though

 

seem like it a GL40

 

i found people saying the t9500 work so im sure the x9000 on 45nm will work and throttle stop should work except no voltage control.

May try later when i have money to spend for nothing ahah or just may get a alienware used or brand new.. but with steam streaming thing im not really interested

 

T4500 is a Penryn Core, 800MHz CPU so anything within the same family *should* work.

I'd buy a cheap ($5 or thereabouts) T8100 and if that one boots/runs fine, X9000 is likely to do the same.

Honestly, within the 800MHz Penryn segment T9300 is by far the best bang for the buck. X9000 is nice for bragging rights, but not much more than that.

Happy upgrading.

 

Yea but could run probably 3.0ghz on stock volt and be competive with my retired almost dead destop e8400 ahah

mostly the reason it interesting im just unsure if im going to fry the vrm on that thing.

and how the battery life will be t4500 vs t9300 t9500 x9000 considering they are more powerfull it mean that idle they work less and use less power i do think. anyways i got about 4-5 hour + of battery life.

Next im switching to ssd and a better cpu if it worth it.


the t9300 anyone can tell me if with a gma 4500 will be able to handle youtube 1080p ( i know it a 1366x screen but anyways compresion on youtube is crap...

 

Competing with ???

You'll probably be OK if the cooling system on your unknown-to-me laptop is worth anything.

SSD is definitely worth it in my opinion, and even a lower-end-C2D (T8100/8300) will be a good upgrade from T4500.

 

Core 2 duo e8400 vs the x9000 are about the same performance wise. onel is socket 479 the other lga775 strange intel did better mobile than desktop chip


the t4500 score 1371 in passmark the t9300 is like 1700 t9500 1800 and x9000 2000

t9500 and x9000 seem the best bet

Im currently here with 12 tab open so i can benefit a bit from a faster cpu

t9500 60$ and x9000 140$+

gonna stick with a 9300-9500 it seem. but the increase is about 35% the x9000 almost 50%

 

just tested task manager while browsing and im mostly cpu bottleneck if i open chrome with all my last 14 tab it at 95% and hdd at 40-60% and i may says i have about 400mb in ram as cache ramdisk

 

Don't go by that...seriously.

I'd say T9300 and X9000 but only if you have money to burn for the latter.

Presuming that you're in the U.S. you can do a *lot* better for X9000, some patience is required, though.

Trust me, you will NOT feel that 35% but you WILL feel the 50% price margin...

 

Passmark is a very good benchmark

Yea the price margin is going to kill me ahah im unsure because it do well and i hate it at the same time i like it. so putting a cpu and ssd could make it nicer vs my desktop.

But i realised i can just work from teamviewer on my desktop and it go 4x faster and it use almost no cpu so long battery.

I think im just going to run it until it die or something.

May get an alienware 14 msi gt60 when it die depending how i feel plastic flex cheap price or high price and nice aluminium ahahah

 

I never said that it wasn't.

The real question is how many amongst us can distinguish a 100 - or 300 - point difference in CPU performance in real life.

Having used all of the aforementioned CPUs multiple times on the same platform, I'll say that the difference in performance between T9300 and X9000 is incredibly slight and downright invisible 90% of the time.

Good luck with whatever route you end up choosing.

 

T9300/9500 are safer and obviously cheaper bet. The GL40 (my mistake before) is crippled chipset and, as I said, it is quite likely that it wont work with Extreme CPU. Get one of the already suggested CPUs, it would be enough until you get newer machine

 

thank you both of you

Any idea if i will feel the difference from the t4500 to a t9300 in boot time and thing like that if i add a ssd and work like i do?

the t9300 is like the real first core 2 duo

the t4500 a cheaper revision or something.

 

any one here know if a screen 1600x 1920x custom could fit on my Presario cq56 that is with a cheap ugly 1366x yellow 16:9 gonna google a bit in case i can find something.

 

You should, in more ways than just one.

Not quite...

The first "real" Core 2 Duos were T7200/7400/7600 which were socket M, then we went to T7100/7300/etc. which were socket P.

Most of these had 4MB L2 cache, where your lowly T4500 has only 1MB and T9300/9500 and X9000 all have 6MB.

That alone is quite a significant difference within this generation of processors.

 

You are sure about the increase in performance if yes im currently looking at one at about 20$ but it can end at 40$

 

If you're looking for snappiness, the first order of call is SSD.

If you're looking for something that will help you with stuff such as youtube lag, a better CPU is your friend.

Good luck.

 

Yea but a 35% increase but power comsumption will go worse or better ahaha.

That mostly what im affraid

 

I wouldn't worry about power consumption,,, You can easily undervolt these CPU's that 30% will drop to 10%.... Just get a T9300/9500 already

 

Im not on a alienware im on a consumer oriented basic laptop with no bios option.

 

Umghh, I had a hp with a core 2 duo T9400 and I used to undervolt.. You do it through programs in Windows like RM Clock at least back then... BTW, AW's can't undervolt.. only have the option to overvolt and overclock

BTW, you can now use throttlestop to undervolt Core 2 processors anyways

 

Ah ok good.

May order one or not. Depend how it go with my new bike

 

Lol T9300 is like $50 tops..

 

Likely less than that, presuming that OP is in the U.S...not to mention the fact that it's a very worthwhile upgrade.

I've gone from T8100 - which is a much better CPU than T4500 - to T9300 on my custom ThinkPad T61 and I would do it again, every day of the week and every hour of the day...

 

That very interesting

but the t8100 is a lower clocked t4500 with more cache... but the t4500 perform like 5% better

So if you did feel the upgrade im getting one for sure!

here in canada about 60$ for a t9500

t9300 i have one for 35$ shipped and will probably get one
