Penryn X9000 in FL92/ FL90SRR

Will a Penryn X9000 Core 2 Duo EXTREME 2.8 GHZ/M/800/45nm work in the FL92 or FL90SRR? Would it be worth the extra expense? Thanks.

 

Isn't it the x9000 for desktops?

 

It's a mobile CPU for 965 chipset with Socket P (478). I didn't know if there were any issues over extra heat and problems like that.

 

I think all the dual core heat a lot, regardless, current is always going through processing the so many digital level streams, plus the clock keep going up, so it will be almost like a DC going through

 

Our factory techs haven't tested it, but we haven't really encouraged testing. There's no way to overclock the X9000 on the JFL92/IFL90, so it isn't worth offering at this point. At stock speeds, the X9000 should work just fine, however, as it's built on the same architecture as the T9300/T9500, just with an (useless in most notebooks) unlocked core multiplier.

 

So are you confirming that x9000 is being used mainly with desktops?

 

@Wirelessman:

The X9000 is a notebook processor, but the problem is there aren't very many notebooks that can safely support overclocking. There are much better Extreme Edition processor for desktops with much higher overclockability. The Sager NP5793 is one of the few systems that can safely be overclocked with the X9000, and it is the only system we currently offer with the X9000 because of this fact.

To my knowledge, any notebook able to use the Penryn processors should be able to support the X9000, but the price-to-performance ratio isn't worth it unless you can actually overclock.

 

Got you, thanks!
