blowntaha Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi,My laptop bugged out on me and I'm trying to use a mobo I had lying around as a replacement, waiting on its DC cable to arrive at the moment. In the meantime, looking for a suitable CPU, could I use my 3920XM on it? The mobo belonged to a Dell Latitude E5420 and the CPUs that usually came with it were with 2nd gen i5s/i7s (example 2529m), but has PPGA988 which is the same socket as 3920XM... will this work?Mobo model: from a Dell Latitude E5420Chipset: HM65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowntaha Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Too noob a question to be answered... ? Reason I ask, other than to find out if I need to get another CPU, is because I'm finding mixed answers about whether or not you can use Ivy Bridge CPUs on mobos intended for Sandy Bridge...
