hi

i confirm the ability to upgrade toshiba satellite a660-17m cpu from intel core i5 450m socket G1 (TDP 35) to i7 740qm (TDP 45) without modded bios.

i'm writing this thread from it.

so i'm sure you can upgrade the cpu to i7 840qm (since it same socket and TDP).

i will upgrade it again with i7 840qm

i'm not sure if i can upgrade it ti i7 940xm since it's 55 TDP.

but according to cpu-upgrade website the chipset hm55  support cpu with TDP from 35 to 55

before upgrading :
1- be sure there is a dedicate graphic card  such as nvidia or ati or amd.
2- the ram type is either 1066 or 1333.

Try to do Load Defaults in BIOS, save and reboot.
Make new screenshot of HWMonitor with full CPU load.
