Upgrade CPU

[Olivier]

Hello,

I want to upgrade my processor and wanted to know if there is more than just switching the CPU's.

Do I need to do anything  in the BIOS or some where else?

Thnx for the help

Firstly you need to know what socet you have and if a upgrade is even possible on your motherboard. I suggest reading up what CPU's the motherboard can handle.

Also you cant really upgrade a laptop's cpu (that i know of) and if its possible its just going to be supidly hard.

 

Also BIOS updates can add new CPU support.

 

My questions to you

What CPU are you wanting to upgrade to?

What CPU do you have right now?

What motherboard do you have?

I checkt it all out and it is the right one, so that is not a problem.

Do I have anything else to worry oboat?

Post all your system specs.

If everything is compatible, you shouldn't be worried.

Please answer my questions, and how do you know they are compatible?

If you know that your CPU and everything is compatible, its nothing more than just swapping them I would personally mabye reset the bios first or something along those lines since you mave have changed things on the old cpu that you dont need on the new one.

Yea, but its that simple to just swap everything yea.

I asked on an other forum if they where compatible.

Just swap it out, system might attempt to boot once or twice but it will eventually recognize it if it doesn't boot immediately on the first try, you'll want to reload optimized defaults in BIOS and then enable XMP for your ram if that's supported, save that to a profile, then save and quit. Enjoy your new chip.

 

When you get into Windows look at the date and time, if those are wrong fix the date and time and reboot.

Thnx for helping me out.
