I have the iGPU version. It actually didn't work OOB and in my BIOS I can only pick either All, 1 or 2 cores. I left the setting at 2 cores and booting and verifying showed I was only on 2/4 possible cores on my 3630QM. I got around the issue after I enabled trusted execution and it works now. Temps after thermal paste swap with the single-heatpipe cooler goes up to 88 deg C after turbo. I am keeping turbo off and it goes up to 75 deg C after Intel XUT stress test. Upgraded from A07 to A12 with no issues.

New to the forum from Canada with a E6430

I managed to boot a i7 3630QM on bios A07 of my iGPU E6430, but the bios does not let me enable all 4 cores. I want to give it a shot before switching back to the i5. I'm new so I haven't checked the IFR to see if it is possible to make the bios let me use all the cores
