35W to 45W possible???

If it's compatible with the motherboard, it should be fine, your battery life would just be in the toilet. You'd basically need your power brick to be able to use it. I'm not familiar with upgradeable laptops however, so I could be wrong, but I doubt power delivery would be your limiting factor.

Alright so I was going to upgrade my laptop cpu from a 35w dual-core to a 45w quad-core, and at first I looked over it not realizing this and after looking it up people only talk about the cooling for the cpu. My only issue with this is, I can guarantee that the cooling would be fine but I need to know if my laptop would just shut off or the battery wouldn't be able to supply sufficient power to the cpu. I so far haven't found anything on the topic aside from people saying " you would need beefier cooling," all the time. Thanks for your time.

did your laptop come with 45w CPUs from the factory in different variants?

Did you do research into this? Are you... sure... your laptop can be upgraded without a hot air soldering station? And if that is the case, do you know how to use a hot air soldering station?

You can't swap a soldered CPU with a hot air station.

That requires a BGA station.

How air is only for small microchips or circuit components.

Honestly I thought a hot air station WAS a BGA station... (I didn't even know there was something called a BGA station) Thanks for the correction. I was trying to impress that trying to replace the CPU without proper tools or experience would likely result in failure.

A 35w dual core, would mean that it's either sandy or ivy bridge, both of which should be upgradeable. The 3720qm would be a good slot in solution for ivy bridge (3rd gen) or the 2760qm (2nd gen). Check to see what yours is and make sure that your processor is a m variant and not a u variant. After that just grab one of those off of ebay and you should be good to go with opening up the laptop and replacing processors, I'd suggest gelid gc extreme or ic diamond for laptops.

8086k Winner BABY!!

First and foremost whats the make and model, research on vendors site and make sure the mobo and current bios revision of the laptop will even recognize the intended cpu. if it fits (assuming is socketed and user replaceable) and listed for compatibility you should be good to go. if its not listed several things could happen 1 it wont even post, 2 if posted it could be unstable, 3 it could run fine- but there's always a chance you could burn up the vrms on the motherboard as they were not intended for the 30% increase in power delivery. Do your research or get us some deeper details and the community should be able to help find the correct answers
