    Ok so I currently have a i7-3610QM.

    and the P150EM case.

    If I were to at some point upgrade to a better CPU is it possible to fit this myself manually?

    I see that it is very easy to expose the CPU on P150EM.

    Any help would be great!

    Cheers!

    of course it is. remove heatsink, remove old chip, seat new chip, paste, replace heatsink. FF to 5:15:

    Aye, very good video.

    In a perfect world. ;) Be careful of ESD (electro-static discharge) damage, pressure, and pasting (too much or too little makes quite a difference).
