Acer Aspire 5737Z: Upgrade CPU

[Scott_s10]

unfortunately did not work, pierced on rogrammatore, allegedly tried custom BIOS archive were screenshots of the advanced settings of a custom BIOS, but the changes did not occur when the firmware chip (SST25VF080V) special power does not seem to want to, but what I do not sewed custom BIOS, not observed differences

Hi guys

I`m trying to find out what cpu`s that fits my 5737Z with original Acer bios 1.10
Not shure about what is the best ram either

Anyone tried different combinations?

Your laptop is based on nForce 730i chipset.
All dual(!) cores CPUs for Socket P are supported.
T9400, T9550, T9600, T9800, T9900, X9100 are recommended for upgrade.
Official maximum of memory - 4 Gb, unofficial - 8 Gb.

Thanks (again) Deathbringer, you`re the best

I am concerned about the heat from the X9100 as it is 44w. Do you think theres gonna be a problem with this?
Now if I get 8gb of ram (2x4gb), what specs should that ram be? (I know, I know - I`m just lost in the jungle)
Do I need to mod the BIOS?

TDP=44W - for overclocked state only.
DDR3 1066 Mhz.
Mods aren't needed.

You`re the man

Hi guys

Too bad, I also got a 5737Z and still looking for the Advanced options ++

I`ll subcribe to this tread

Requesting unlocking mods is offtopic here.
Adding microcode doesn't add support for quad cores CPU.
But you can try the motherboard's mod for quad cores CPU supporting (without guarantee for success):
