Asus K43SJ processor upgrade question

[JFKA]

Hey guys could you tell me minimal rpm of your fan on this laptop. Mine is 2500 when processor is really cold near 35C. I'm trying to fix it...

SO I got my processor and it works fine!



Before installing it, I updated the microcodes in the bios to the latest and unlocked as many options as possible in the BIOS.

Processor idles at 37-38* , wow! Earlier witht he 940 and the same thermal paste it never went below 50* idle. Load temps are the same, this is after 15 minutes of prime95 and its turboing to 2.8GHz on all cores? I'm running a 65w brick instead of the standard 90W. Hopefully it runs faster witht he 90W hehe.



Windows is lot more responsive even with prime95 running! Spent 35$ on the cpu and it was worth the upgrade. Now I keep thinking if I should have got the i7 haha

Hi,
I have the same model and tried to upgrade from B950 to i5 2450M, but after the changing is done my laptop is unable to enter windows, even when i tried to reinstall. It keeps showing error massage. Should i update bios to 317 version? mine is still 220.

Thanks

excuse me, How to update the microcode ? I have succesfully upgraded my processore from i3 2330 to i7 2860. On idle or low load, turbo bost works fine but on heavy load or stressed condition, speed processore stuck below based (2,2 Ghz). Anyone can help me?

It's not microcode issue.
It's overload of power and thermal subsystems.

CPU temp look's normal, arround 56°. For daily use, it's faster than using old cpu (2330). Even I open more programs (office, google chrome, firefox and any program, the cpu temp never reach 65°
