m70vn Core 2 duo to Quad core

[0n1s4c]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_%28mic...nm_process
look at "Steppings using 45 nm process"
T9000 P9000 SP9000 SL9000 Q9000 QX9000 are in the same Gap.

yes I saw,

but I have read so many forums where users explain that they can't upgrade their laptop from a Core 2 Duo to a Core 2 Quad, even if the compatibility proco list was OK,

I begin to doubt for everything (sorry for my english )

I bought a Q9100 for 150€ and I'm waiting for it
maybe, I would have to buy a T9900...

if you get the q9100 please tell if it's work or not

[0n1s4c]

if you get the q9100 please tell if it's work or not

yes of course

I want to test it

EDIT: I'm waiting for Q9100 arrival...
hope it works fine...

... to be continued ...

does anybody know about the " q9200 " ? it's seems like that it was a cpu in production but never came out as a OEM ?

[0n1s4c]

Hi, everybody

I'm getting the Q9100, but, but, I'm very disappointed.

First it's not a SLB5G (OEM) but a a QAVK (ES = Engineering sample), I think it's not a stable CPU


Secondly, I can't test it because I can't dissassemble the CPU himself on my laptop, cause the heatsink seems to be soldered (is it the term?) to the chipset.
Anyway, I can't remove the heatsink (after removing the screws, I can't move it, even a little) and I don't wanna force the removing, which can cause break my laptop.

But, if anybody can tell me how I can do it without damage, perhaps?

after you removed the screws can't you lift it a bit up ? just even 0,5 cm ?

[0n1s4c]

not at all

I can't move the heatsink: in any way, it doesn't move

[ender28]

And what want you do now?
if you take out the fan you can maybe take out the headpipes

hello ender28,

I've tested the Q9100 today on my M70Vn: that doesn't work

No OS can loaded with it: neither Vista/Seven nor Linux loads when the Q9100 is plugged.
No error or BSOD nor kernel panic, but no loading at all: the OSes are hanging .... with black screen.
That's all.
If I replugged the original CPU (P8600), everything is well!!

Additional infos:
- Due to these two dies on its back, the Q9100 isn't fitting correctly with the heatsink: it takes more place when the heatsink is soldered on it.
=> you see like a bump when the heatsink is applied on the CPU.
Possible overheating may result!

- In BIOS, the CPU is recognised as Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU @ 2,26 GhZ


You have your answer now ender28
I think you can buy a T9900: it would work on M70Vn

I bought recently an Intel C2D T9900 (slighty OC to 3,2 Ghz) and plugged it in my M70Vn: that works very well!

Here is the results:
