What do you mean you can't enable all 4 cores.. You don't have to change anything. It will work OOB.

Check into your device manager under Processors how many Intel® Core i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.4GHz do you see? If there are 8 you are OK!

In order for the dynamic TOLUD to work you should set the BIOS boot mode to thorough. If this doesn't work you can always set your TOLUD manually with UEFI variables. What are your specs? iGPU/dGPU/eGPU?

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
