    Hi i am buying a Sager NP9390 in a day or two. Im upgrading the HD space, RAM, and CPU when i get it. I have 2x mSata SSDs to put in RAID 0 as well as a 120gb 850 EVO and and 1TB SSHD for storage, plus an optional 480Gb SSD. I have 16GB to go with the 12GB already installed. I want to replace the installed i7-4700MQ with the 4930MX. I know for a fact that it is compatible and can be done. But i dont know what i need to do. do i just replace the CPU. Or do i need to tweak something in bios before i do it. Do i need to do anything else?Thank you and have a blessed day.

    If you are out of warranty then the prema BIOS can be worth a look, it should boot but having the latest wont hurt.
