ibebyi Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hello,I was wondering if anyone had swapped out the 3630qm in the Y500 for a 3632qm (lower TDP)? Also if anyone has indeed done this I was wondering what the turboboost frequency was for the 3632qm (all 4 cores). To clarify, the 3630qm, which is listed as 3.4ghz turbo, actually runs at 3.2ghz (all 4 cores) on the y500. Does the 3630qm run at 3.0ghz or 3.2ghz under load?Since I'm asking this from a temperature standpoint... would just replacing the TIM on the 3630qm yield comparable results? (obviously I would have to reapply TIM if i swapped out the CPU) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergioosh Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 3630qm and 3632qm have different tubro boost stepping:- 3630qm has 8/8/9/10 with a base of 2,4GHz, which translates to 3,2GHz with 4 cores and 3,4GHz with 1 core active- 3632qm has 7/7/9/10 with a base of 2,2GHz, which translates to 2,9GHz with 4 cores and 3,2GHz with 1 core active Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octiceps Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 n1smo and jester_socom have the i7-3632QM. You should ask them what their temperatures are. I've seen nismo's CPU temperatures and they are noticeably lower than mine. We both repasted. I used OCZ Freeze and he used Arctic Silver 5. I doubt you could get the 3630QM to run as cool as the 3632QM with just a simple repaste. The lower TDP of the 35 W chip is a result of clock speed and voltage reductions and those definitely have an effect on temperatures.
