Upgrading my CPU for JHL90 from T5800

I'm trying to upgrade my JHL90's CPU from T5800 to anything better.

Does anyone know what my options are?

T5800 is a 65nm processor, and many of the other JHL90's I've seen have 45nm processors, like the T9600. This does not make sense to me... did JHL90 have motherboards of different standards that allowed for different sized CPU's? Or are the 45nm and 65nm CPU's interchangeable (wouldn't make sense, would it?)

Anyway, I'm just wondering what my option is in upgrading my CPU from T5800.

And on a side note... does your JHL90's get blazing hot (70-80 C) while doing mundane, everyday things? Do you think the thermal compound is the most probable reason for this?

 

They are both Socket P, I do not see why you cannot put in a T9600 unless the JHL90 BIOS-Locked. Both T5800 and T9600 are part of the penryn family which the JHL90 support.

As for your heat issues, make sure the vent and fan are clean. If you feel like the heat is cause by hardware, you can reapply the thermal paste.

 

but their sizes are different, 45 nm and 65 nm... how can they have different sizes on the same socket? I'm guessing maybe the 45 nm and 65 nm are irrelevant to the CPU size, since it's in nanometers... maybe it's like a CPU core size, so I guess the CPU itself can have the same socket.

So as long as it's a Socket P, I should be fine... is that it? Nothing else I have to worry about? Do I not have to worry about differences such as 800MHz to 1066MHz?

What I'm really wondering is that T5800 is a Merom processor while the other processors mentioned (like T9600) are Penryn processors. Does this make a difference in my ability to upgrade my processor? In other words, is a Merom processor-compatible JHL90 configuration different from a Penryn processor-compatible JHL90 configuration, and would this hinder my ability to upgrade my CPU?

Thanks for your response!
