Laptop APU upgrade? HP ProBook 645 G1

[Map3y]

Hy!

 

I have a HP ProBook 645 G1 Whit A6-4400M HD 7520G (APU) and 4GB of ram it runs Dota 2 on min at around 30-50 fps but whit drops in teamfights to 20.

I allready put a 250gb samsung 850evo in there. But im thinking of upgrading the APU has well to A10-5750M, 2.5 GHz, L2 4 MB, HD 8650G. plus add a 8 gb ddr3 1600mghz sodim (total of 12gb).

Is it worth it and what performance improfments can i expect? Only game im playing is Dota 2 and maybe some random non AAA title sometimes. i want to also run a second 720p monitor for twitch streams and other stuff while playing.

I would build a new system but i want to save has much money has i posibly can before that and also wait for GPU pricing to drop.

 

Best regards!

More than likely that APU is in a BGA socket. That's not possible to replace

Could you elaborate?

Far has i've been looking, both are same socket.

And also it is supported by this laptop.

Atleast by what i could find.

99% of modern laptops have a their CPU's in a BGA (Ball grid array) socket. So that means you would have to desolder it off the board and resolder it back to the board. What socket is it by chance?

Might be possible, check the motherboard itself to see if any CPU upgrades are compatible

Well, I suppose the OP won't benefit on this, but someone could.

 

This laptop Definitely has a ZIF socket, and the CPU is easily upgradable. The 5750m is a beast in its pool so go for it if you can. Big RAM volume is also a good idea. Always.

As is thinking before advising. As is thinking before estimating probabilities.

Soldered analogue of 5750m is called 5757m.
