CPU Upgrade DV6-3000 Laptop

I am wondering what is the highest wattage CPU and core count I can install into the HP1440 motherboard in the DV6 Pavillion laptop. Current processor is the AMD Phenom 2 n930 2ghz Quad Core.   

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your model series:
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02659236/c02659236.pdf
Looks like you can upgrade to the AMD Phenom II N970 Quad 2.20-GHz processor (2.0-MB L2 cache, 1333-MHz FSB, 35W, 3.6 gigatransfers/second).
I don't know that it is worth the hassle and expense to upgrade for 200 Mhz, but I'll leave that decision up to you.

  • T43 cpu upgrade shuts down laptop

    i have a t43 2668-43u. i tried to install intel m 770 cpu, unit shuts down without warning  shortly after booting to windows xp sp3 (i was in the middle of 7 upgrades).
    i put the intel m 750 back in and the unit ran fine for 3 days (powered on the whole time).
    is there some adjustments i need to make for the 770 to run correctly?
    thank you

    Sounds like a bad CPU to me - 770, that is.
    No adjustments of any kind are required, it's a plug & play upgrade.

  • Dv6 2120ev cpu upgrade

    Hello,
    I have a DV6 2120ev laptop with Core i3 cpu and I would like to upgrade it to either i5 or i7.
    Is it possible without replacing the whole motherboard?
    If yes, which CPUs are compatible?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Intel Core i5-580M is definitely compatible as it takes 35W (same as the original Core i3). I believe that even Core i7-720QM, 740QM, 820QM and 840QM are compatible but they require a different heat sink/fan (part number is 604787-001).

    just wondering what are my cpu upgrade options? would rather get the most out of this laptop, cant afford to buy a new one, willing to put about €100 into this

    Hi:
    I am not an expert on AMD processors.
    If you think the ZM isn't a whole lot better (you need to look at the specs more than just the speed), then I wouldn't do it.
    The speed isn't a whole lot different and the L2 cache is the same.
    Normally the faster processors will run hotter when all else is equal (voltage, etc).
    Upgrading the memory is the cheapest, easiest route to a better performing PC.
    And definitely keep the vents and fan clean of lint and dust as much as possible.

  • Dv6 2129el Cpu upgrade list

    It is possible to upgrade the cpu of a dv6 2129el and in case which are the compatible cpu?
    I found this: support manual
    but this does not list my cpu so i don't know if it is reliable or not.
    (mine is a i5 m430)
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Simol87.  I understand you're wondering if you can upgrade your CPU.
    It is possible but usually not a very easy upgrade.  You will face problems such as locating a supported CPU (this information is often not readily available).  It is possible that you'd also need to replace the cooling system and the power supply as well as the stock parts might not be able to handle the upgraded CPU.  If you would like to upgrade your notebook for better performance you'd likely be better off looking to a Solid State Drive or adding more RAM.  A CPU upgrade on a notebook is not suggested.
    I hope this helps.  Have a great day!

  • Hello i would lie to know if hp do upgrades for there laptops ?

    i have a HP Pavilion dv6-3031sa Entertainment Notebook PC 
    which has the amd athlon II dual core 2.10ghz processor and would like to know whether hp do upgrades or if they have a certified company that does.
    many thanks gaz

    Here is a link to the Maintenance and Service Guide (Manual). In the parts list they have all the different processors that will work with your laptop. There are some Phenom Quad Cores there. Keep in mind a CPU upgrade is very dicey. It is easy to damage the laptop in the process and single high end processors cost an arm and a leg. You are almost always better off to sell your laptop and buy one with a faster processor.

  • CPU upgrade on Satellite L30-101

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I've upgraded the RAM successfully to 2GB (2x 1GB) but I'm finding it incredibly hard to get information on processor replacements.
    The laptop has the latest BIOS on it (3.10-WIN - 19/02/08) but when trying to find information regarding whats in it I'm hitting brick walls. Firstly the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/ < doesn't have my laptop on it,
    Product Type: Notebook
    Family: Satellite
    Product Series: Satellite L Series
    Model: ? unknown
    Short Model No: ? unknown
    I did hope I could stick an Intel Duo in but with the ATI chipset, I'm pretty sure it wont work but again without knowing whats within BIOS, compatible.. I'm lost. The only processor I can find which may work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo Processor T1350 which kicks out 1.86 GHz, not a massive difference and I'm sure it can't be the only replacement option.
    Could someone and staff please help me with getting hold of BIOS info and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 kicking out 1.46 GHz isn't good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi tasking. Its lagging way too much even after a good tune up, ram upgrade, HD upgrade to 7200RPM. I'm in need of a processor upgrade but as mention finding it incredibly hard to obtain information of which would be compatible.
    Sincerely,
    Gourcuff

    Hello
    In my opinion your attempt to replace CPU is wrong. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer some fabulous performance and it is designed for everyday usage. Best evidence for this was the price. It was not so expensive.
    Can you please tell us why do you want to have new CPU? Do you use some special software?
    Back to CPU replacement. As you probably know mobile computers have limited upgrade options and it is related to RAM and HDD upgrade. It is definitely unprovided for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
    Due to all this you will not be able to find any relevant info about CPU replacement.
    Check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  • Hard drive failure on Pavilion dv6-6000 laptop (LT069AV)

    I posted this as a reply on another thread (xxx).   Thought I might get a quicker response starting a new question.
    Persistent BSODs and disk errors culminated in a "disk not found" error yesterday on my dv6-6000 laptop PC.  Windows 7 Home, Intel i5 processor, 6GB RAM.  I like the PC overall - nice screen and usually great performance.  I look forward to getting it back online as it serves as my work as well as personal computer.
    So, I need to replace my hard drive and reinstall the OS with a an HP recovery disc that I have yet to purchase (I can't find a recovery disk I produced myself after several moves), and then restore using my cloud backup solution. 
    The HP part number for the SATA hard drive is 621046-001 (this is a 640 GB volume).  I noticed that a replacement for this drive is available at CPU medics for about $90.  Would I be foolish to order a replacement, having just experienced a drive failure with this part?  Should I look to other manufacturers and perhaps go with a 750 GB volume?  Also, do I need to replace with a 7200 rpm drive?  Is there any disadvantage if I went with a 5400 rpm HDD?
    Any suggestions?

    You have options when installing Windows 7 to create partitions, you could just select the complete space & install as one partion then once installed use windows disc partition manager to adjust it to you requirements.
    Windows 7 can be loaded to a memory stick & the link provided includes a tool to make the bootable memory stick.
    Plenty of step by step guides on installing windows can be found on google, it is quite easy but first time is always going be slower due to learning curve, if you like super simple then hp recovery discs could be worth the money dor you.
    Link below is guide on installing Windows 7, useful as a rough guide on what involved.

  • Satellite M40x will not boot up after CPU upgrade test

    I have an M40x Laptop. I took the CPU out of it to replace it with another to test the computer booted up fine so I shut down and took it out and put it's original CPU back in, and it would not boot. Now it will not boot up at all with either of the CPU's all. When I turn on the power all I get is a white screen for a few seconds and the laptop shuts itself back down. Both the CPU's are good because I have since tested them in other computers to make sure that was not the problem.
    Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this??

    Im not surprised.
    As far as I know Toshiba does not support any CPU upgrades and it's not advisable to do something like that.
    Its a fact that the CPU replacement on the notebooks is not easy and mostly not recommended.
    The processors used in portables are connected to the system board using a process called TCP (Tape Carrier Package). This is a permanent connection method and is used in the interests of miniaturization and heat dissipation.
    Did you assign the new heat paste? Its necessary and important if you want to connect the CPU again.
    So possibly this is a reason for the no booting.
    I think more details you will get from the service guys in your country

  • CPU upgrades - UK

    Has anyone in the UK tried this CPU upgrade from Daystar?
    http://daystar-store.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=555
    I am unsure about, due to the shipping, and I was worried it would cost me much more. At the current exchange rate, the 1.83ghz upgrade - which is the one I would like to get, comes in at £236.96.
    Could someone tell me what the basic shipping cost to the UK would be?
    Thanks

    I may be cynical, but I read the promo on this chip and you're only getting a very slight gain in clock speed. Trouble is you still have the same system bus performance. I've upgraded chips before and got a slight life extension. But with the Macbook Pro on offer, surely the money is better invested in a replacement laptop?

  • CPU upgrade of my Satellite Pro L300-152

    hello
    my laptop is a :
    Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-152
    Model no. PSLB1E-01R015EN
    Celeron 560 2.13GHz
    Can someone tell me which CPU I can safely upgrade this with, I use it in a fairly cool environment and would like just a few more 100mhz from it.
    Thank you for your support

    Before we start discussion about CPU upgrade check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    My personal opinion is that CPU upgrade will not help much and you will not realize some big difference in notebook performance. In my opinion you need more RAM or better and faster SSD. This brings better and more performance than some CPU with 100mhz more than old one.

  • GX623 CPU Upgrade

    I love this laptop and I want to keep it for as long as possible so I was looking at CPU upgrades.
    I really want to put a qx9300 quad core in but I can't figure out if it would work 
    Was just wondering if anyone could help? Also, any idea how would it cope with temperatures?
    Thanks Guys!

    Thanks for the reply Svet.
    Ah ok, I'm sorry to hear that, I did some reading up and I was almost sure it could be done   :(
    Just one question though, was this guy trolling then?

    thank you to anyone who reads this and many thanks to anyone with info to fix my prob
    2 hi again I've now found the service list for my notebook and another think sister or brother to mine I have noticed that the list goes from 1 core to 2 core tec I have the 2.20 800mhz intel inside celron . What I know want to know is this does a cq61-420sa support dual core prossesers and if so what is the best one for my notebook cheers

    If you have the Service Manual then you should look and see if there is more than one motherboard. In many cases the Celeron and Pentium processors go on one type of motherboard and the Core 2 Duos go on another. Unfortunately the CQ61 with Intel processor apparently was not sold in the U.S. and I cannot find the manual

  • G42 cpu upgrade

    I have a G42 1415dx with the S1 p340 CPU.  i really like the the laptop, and want to get as much as i can out of it.  Most questions about CPU upgrades advise to consult the service manual.  The manual lists several CPUs for AMD processor boards.  Will ANY faster CPU with a comparable voltage work?    Any recommendations?

    Hi,
    This is not going to work, the P340 is a 25w chip and the N640 is a 35w chip. You need to use the SAME TDP value to be able to get it up and running.
    Regards.
