    Hi,

    I have HP Probook 4330s (i3 2310m, 8gb RAM 1333MHz, 1TB Samsung EVO SSD). I have upgraded the BIOS (F.60, 03/13/2015 version). I want to upgrade the CPU on my computer. This laptop was also delivered with i7 2620M and i5 2540M, so it should be possible to upgrade to any of these CPU’s. On the other hand, other users have also upgraded to i7 2720qm (see here), i7-2820qm (see here), i7 2630qm (see here) i7 2670m (see here, and here), i7 2860qm (see here, and here)

    The best thing I like about this computer that it stays cool, no matter how much I use, or how I use. I use it on ‘lap’ (sometime for many hours) and it remains completely cold underneath (fan works constantly, but not hot enough air to make it uncomfortable), without having the need to put anything under it. So my question is, those of you who upgraded the CPU, does it heat up more? More enough to have a need to put anything under it? Please share the experience for those of you who upgraded the cpu.

    Please tell.
