rycyve Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi!Can i update my notebook cpu to i7-3612QM FC-PGA12F? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moka Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It should work, unless the bios does not handle the CPU. I know the case of exchange Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge and it work fine ( Clevo notebook - P150 ). I think it will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xonar Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Isn't the 3612qm soldered and ivy bridge? Both are no-no's for your notebook. Look for a sandy bridge quad i7-2xx0QM. Also, last I've heard, upgrading a Sandy Bridge notebook to Ivy Bridge doesn't work. It works the opposite though, Ivy to Sandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moka Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I wrote a message to the user who changed the processor. He replied that:- had a motherboard that supports Ivy Processors and Sandy Bridge- basic bios from Clevo- Clevo laptop model is W370et- all his works after updating drivers.Doubts may arise: - the motherboard supports processors Ivy? Sandy work for sure. I would not be sure, but you have to ask MSI.- does the bios detect the CPU? Maybe unlocked bios can work with Ivy. Rather normal bios will not work, in my opinion.- It all depends on the costs involved. You can always try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moka Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I'm sorry but I have no editing options. As above mate - search processors Sandy Bridge.For my part, I would recommend i7 2670 - fast (like i7 920), the best value and performance, and energy efficient. I have the same and it works.

Xonar Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Like I've said, only Sandy Bridge (i3,5,7-2xxxQM) will work in his notebook. Ivy Bridge is NOT supported. i7-2670 will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rycyve Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks for answers, I got the clear picture of the Ivy Bridge CPU and I took I7 2720QM Sandy Bridge CPU, that works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coolsmarti Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Sorry if this is a little bit OT, but i have also just bought the 2720QM for my GT780DX - have you tried OC'ing it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xonar Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So far, you cannot overclock any non-XTU, non-XM cpu laptop without jumping through hoops (and I mean massive hoops). You can OC the CPU by 3-4% through the BCLK, so don't expect anything more than 100-120mhz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedexultra Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 So what's the best Sandy Bridge CPU supported? any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teuing Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'd say i7 2860QM or 2840QM (ES.. a bit more cheaper) if you can get one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xonar Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 So what's the best Sandy Bridge CPU supported? any?2860QM / 2960XM if you're loaded. But as I've said, don't expect multiplier OC'ing on this notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myxcon Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm using a 2960xm in my gt683dx and I have to limit it to 3ghz for daily gaming rather than OCing it, otherwise the temps jump through the roof. (If I don't limit the cpu to 3-3.2ghz, I reach 100 degrees in about 15 minutes in bf3). At max 3ghx I get max 92degrees for cpu in 3-4h of gw2.

Xonar Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 @myxcon, I'm rocking a 2920XM (the ES has higher turbo bins for whatever reason) running at 3.2Ghz w/ BCLK overclocked. I'll hit 100*C in games as well, but I've noticed that it happens mostly when I play on hard wood surfaces. Wood just absorbs all the heat and makes it toasty as hell. If you can prop up the notebook to give it a couple of inches of airflow, see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myxcon Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 @Xonar I'm using it on a CM pad, don't know the exact model. With or without the fans turned on (coolerpad fans) there is a VERY small time difference, when the cpu will hit 100*C. I play only Bf3 and GW2 and in both of them if I do not limit the cpu to 3ghz (max 91-92*C) it will throttle every couple of minutes. Guess there is no much I can do to cool it down even further.

CooleRnax Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Xonar is right Ivy Bridge processor will not work on Sandy Bridge motherboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, limit the CPU to x31 or x30 multiplier and see if the 100-200mhz downclock makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myxcon Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm using your unlocked bios with optimized defaults, no settings modified. I use TS with multi @30 and eist+c1e (ir whatever it's spelled) ticked and that's it. Max 91-92 during heavy gaming without the cooler boost.

Xonar Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 91-92*C sounds good for 3.0Ghz on all four cores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debianik Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 looks like you have temp problem even on default clock :/try to drill holes undder the fan - in that bottom acces panel also usying laptop on flat panel/desk still blocks air forgetting about polishing your heatsink with 3000+ grid Personally use gt660 with 920xm es with max possible multipler 25x but without HT - and with drilled holes I can play in GTA4 on flat desk but much better is to make bigger "room" under the laptop.
