sorry just my British humor
Fish & Chips... get it ? LOL
OK I have a very old Tosh, running win7, sdd 8gig ram (highest)
I love it, it's one of many machines I have.
This may NOT seem logical, cost effective but I'm gonna ask the question
So my tosh does tend to get hot (on the L675's apparently this is common, every few months I'm blowing out the fan, stripping it down getting duster spray and cleaning it down.
In all the years (about 10years since I got it I've not had a crack at removing the chip and cleaning it up and applying new thermal paste. On the L675's the motherboard is upside down so not easy to get to and not for the faint hearted.
So I was going to attempt that BUT I thought if I'm doing that why not look at another processor ?
..........
>HERE IS THE QUESTION<
I recently found an old website, where there are a number of options of CPU's for my laptop.
It is currently running an
Core i3 M350 so I thought ... hey why don't I try and replace the CPU, if I can get a used one from amazon etc. but then I read up about the SOCKET ? I have a list of CPU's below, will they fit the same socket.
Also I read that it's not just a case of upgrading the CPU but wether the BIOS is capable.
Any thoughts I'm happy to spend a 100 bucks or so on a CPU even if it fails.
I was looking at the
M370 which I think is still the same socket and not too far out of spec.
I was wondering maybe my CPU has seen better days and is failing ?
