HP 8470p SUPPORT QUADCORE CPU?? DualCore to QuadCore , anybody tried?

Already saw differents answer but never by the one guy that say.. "Yes, i already upgrade my dual core cpu to quad core in my elitebook 8470p"

I saw documents with info from hp with "3610qm 3630qm 3720qm and 3740qm" support for 8470p and 8570p models in this forum.

There in JUNE 2012, The product overview:

http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c03373336

Said only 3610qm and 3720qm are compatible with the 8470p.

But recently document i saw from hp (and i think is the reference guide more actual, january 2013 ) to 8470p and 8470w models like this:

http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c03659338-3.pdf

there is not clear, even this document show that only 8470w support quadcore and for 8470p show only dual core models..

so i need confirmation before buy quad core model, anybody can confirm if its possible??

Thanks a lot

 

Finally i had buyed a i7 3630qm quad core cpu on ebay and IT WORKS, all perfect, the upgrade from i5 3320m was wonderfull.

Thanks

 

Congrats! I hope you have used a good quality TIM. Check your temps regularly, since quads put decent amount of stress on the cooling, especially in case like yours, where quite likely it's not designed with quads in mind.

 

Thank you mate, with Artic MX4 and after of 8h stress test with Prime95 & Furmark the max temps was 83º degrees, i think is a good value.

Regards

 

It is a good value indeed. There's no need to put that much stress on your components, especially with Furmark. Enjoy your "new" machine
