I would like to mention that I also bought the T9800 since it was very cheap and since it uses the same 35w as the P8700, but I haven't installed it yet.Ģnd Question: Supposing I add the QX9300, does the HP bios support overclocking/underclocking? Right now it doesn't, but i was wondering if anything would change (in terms of options on the BIOS) if I replaced the CPU with an Unlocked/Xtreme one.ģrd Question: More like a personal opinion than a technical question, but what would you do? Back when I bought this laptop I prefered higher clock speed for the CPU than multi cores since most processes used 2 cores at most. The manual states the Intel Core i7-820QM, but the difference is so little that I am unsure if it is worth the investment / risk of opening the laptop.Ĭurrent CPU: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHzġst Question: Can I upgrade to a Core 2 Duo Quad QX9300? Accordingly to the manual the Quad Q9100 is supported but I am not really interested on that one due to lower base clock (and higher power consumption to what I already have!). Question: Is there a list of possible CPU upgrades for this product? If so please give me that list and any possible suggestion specially regarding performance.

I would like to upgrade the CPU of 2 HP pavilion dv7 I posess.Ĭurrent CPU: Intel Core i7 720QM 1.60GHz
