Laptop CPU Upgrade Help
12 minutes ago, DespacitOwOs said:I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-B-14D and I want to upgrade its cpu.
Original CPU: Celeron N2830 (Intel® Celeron® Processor N2830 (1M Cache, up to 2.41 GHz) Product Specifications)
New CPU: Pentium J2900 (Intel® Pentium® Processor J2900 (2M Cache, up to 2.67 GHz) Product Specifications)
They both use the same socket (FCBGA1170)
would I be able to just do some screws and then a swippy-swap boom done better laptop?
The FCBGA1170 socket is Ball Grid Array one which means the chip soldered directly onto the PCB. Thus, without specialist equipment, there is no way to perform that sort of upgrade and even with such equipment, there is no guarantee the operation would be a success. Plus, depending on the rest of your system, I would not say that upgrade is one that's worth while. If that thing has a HDD and a small amount of memory, which it most likely does since it had a Celeron, you're not going to experience any noticeable difference. A SSD upgrade from a HDD would yield a much better laptop than a CPU upgrade in most cases. Same with more memory if you're constantly pinning memory usage to upwards of 80-90%.
