skypete Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 If your laptop doesn't have the CPU welded you can change it for a Intel Core i3-2330M or similar (Core generation processors have HD 3000 and HD 4000 and this graphics are compatible). But first you must check the chipset; if you have Intel HM65 (Sandy Bridge) or Intel HM76 Chipset (Ivy Bridge) is possible to make the change, if you have Intel HM70 Chipset (Ivy Bridge) you can't. And remember, the supported socket is rPGA988B. Regards and lucky!

franmglp Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 In Windows go to Computer, Manage, Device Manager. Open "System devices" and see if it says Intel HM65, HM76 or HM70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franmglp Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Unfortunately you can't change the processor. Only with HM65 and HM76 chipsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
