cruckajuck Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'm curious as well... are mac processors soldered straight to the board? Or are sockets involved...

SenVa Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Last i knew they were soddered to the board... but the mac mini and the imac have sockets. P.S. That newegg link isn't a core 2 duo... It is a only a core duo. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28578-core-2-duo-macbook/#findComment-195758 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollcage Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 hmm, of all the systems apple sells, making it possible to the mini to upgrade proccessors more easily? i would think that the macbook pro would have that ability over the mini. maybe it's a desktop vs notebook thing? something to do with durability? just curious, but what are the advantages to having the cpu soddered compare to using sockets? or aren't there any?

RichardFanning Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 The processors are soldered to the board for space (height) reasons. By soldering the processor to the mainboard the clearance is greatly reduced when compared to a socket which would compromise a couple precious milimeters and the MacBook would therefore not be as thin as it is.

Soündless Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 would a socket one fit in there if the cpu is not soldered to the mainboard? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28578-core-2-duo-macbook/#findComment-196211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
exscape Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 would a socket one fit in there if the cpu is not soldered to the mainboard? Hmm, what? If you're even thinking about making it yourself - stop thinking. The CPUs are soldered because a socket is ~6mm in height (wild guess), while a soldered CPU can be mounted considerably lower. Nothing you can do about it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28578-core-2-duo-macbook/#findComment-196936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
novex Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 The only way to upgrade is switch your logic board.if you want to use you previous logic board might need a super engineer skill with machine.If the the logic board now support 2 core duo.My best opinion wait untill apple come out with their real 2 core duo then decide. http://www.ifixit.com/cart/customer/home.p...p;a=63&c=-1 P/S Anyone success to implant let me know ok novex1984@gmail.com Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28578-core-2-duo-macbook/#findComment-199700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
