    Yes it's possible. Look in the manual on how to remove the back cover. It's like 4 or 5 screws. Then it's a few screws to remove the heatsink and CPU fan, Pull off the heatsink and CPU fan, unlock the CPU and pull it out, clean new CPU to remove any residue, put the new CPU in socket and tighten down, clean thermal paste off heatsink, apply thermal paste to CPU, put heatsink back on, and follow the 1-2-3-4 screw configuration to tighten it down. that's pretty much how it's done.

    Theriko, do you have a more recent service manual for the M860TU and M570TU ? The ones you have for download are one and a half years old... now that the products have been discontinued, it would be nice to have the latest manual.

    That is just a BIOS (and heatsink, I think?) update. It doesn't really have to change the way components are replaced or anything else... Honestly, now that I have the experience of putting all the components into a barebone m860tu from RJtech, I really wouldn't need a service manual for the w860cu. It is basically the same.

    The motherboard is slightly different and I assume it will have some extra information on Quad core function codes.

    The rapidshare links seem to be working ok here, it should be a zip file with a pdf inside it.

    There is no updated service manual since the quad support as basically nothing important has changed.

    Hi there,

    I'm planning to upgrade the processor in 8662 too. Which thermal paste should I use?

    Thank you

    MX-3 or MX-2 or AS5 or if you don't want to spend anything extra use what they provide depending on where you purchase it from.
