Upgrading CPU and Graphics Card
I've decided to go for an upgrade on my laptop from dual core to quad core and upgrade the graphics card. I'm looking forward to the release of Diablo 3 and would like to play it with good settings to enjoy the experience more(along with other general gaming).
However, after a good 1-2 hours of googling, I've found next to nothing on what parts I need to upgrade my laptop. I did come across one website but just came back with no results for the specifications I put in.
So it would be nice if someone could point me in the right direction or even a direct link to a reccomended part.
I have a HP Pavilion dv6 1210sa. I am upgrading the RAM but already had advice on that .
PS - Would like 2+ GH'z x4 on the processor and 1gb on the graphics card, if possible.
You're very welcome.
I agree. Finding the parts cheaply could be hard.
You can enter the part numbers in the HP site below and see what comes up.
http://h20141.www2.hp.com/Hpparts/Default.aspx?mscssid=A81A1CB37CF34781BBACF8243D7C479E
For example, the system board with the best graphics (HD 4650) is $416 on the HP part store above.
If you wanted to install the best processor (ZM-87), that will set ya back $267.19.
So, you can see what I mean by you may bet better off selling and buying one you would really be happy with.
You're looking at almost $700 just for these two components. I don't know what a notebook of that caliber would cost, but I don't think it would be a much more than that.

What temperatures are acceptable for the CPU and Graphics card?
I have Intel Xeon X5400 series CPUs and a Nvidia graphics card.
It is interesting to monitor the temperatures but only if you know what temps matter...
What temperatures are acceptable for the CPU and Graphics card?
I was not sure if this is the document of choice for the CPU or not. I was not sure I was decifering it correctly either.
http://download.intel.com/design/xeon/datashts/318589.pdf
Any one know what we should be watching for as far as what is too hot?
I have a ThinkStation D10.
Did not see this in the user manual but could have missed it.I found my specs:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz
You are correct. An E series.
I was so focused on the upgrade to the X5420 that I forgot what the system came with.
So what should I set my sensor high value to on my sensor program that shows up on the panel (taskbar)?
For the E5405 or the X5420?
SIDE NOTE: where can I get 2 E5420s or better cheap?
Not ready to give up my filters just yet. I live in a dust factory!
My girl friend sews really nice bags but creates sewing dust and fuzz.
And well there are natural fibers everywhere...
So other than the the X5492 (150watts), the X5482, X5472, X5470, X5460, X5450 are all 120 watts.
Like the bulk of the X series...
The E5405, E5410, E5450, E5440, E5420, E5430, E5470, E5462, E5472 are all 80 watts.
The L series seems to all be 50 Watts.
For many the other Processors see this:

Processor and graphics card upgrade for hp dc5100 MT(EF633US)
Can someone kindly tell me a variety of Intel processors and graphic cards which i can install in my pc coz right now i'm using Intel pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz and Intel 82915G/GV/910GL express chipset. but i would like to upgrade to a faster processor and a graphics card which can play games which require large graphic memory (eg FIFA 2013,GTA 5.etc)
Hi:
Personally, I wouldn't invest the money to upgrade that PC.
You would be better off getting an off lease newer dc5800 MT or dc7800/dc7900 model that has a PCIe x16 video slot.
The killer for your model is you can only install a PCI graphics card.
Very inefficient and pretty expensive for what you get in return.
After you install the required microcode update, the best processor I know for sure you can install would be the P4 650.
Below is the link to the quickspecs. The supported processors are listed on page 7.
I do not know of anyone who that has installed the 651 or 661 processors and got them to work--even though the specs state they are supported.
You can try the 651 or 661 and if you do, please let me know if they worked for you.

Can I upgrade my processor and graphics card in my HP Pavilion g6-2244sa Notebook PC?
Hi I bought this laptop 2 years ago for gaming purposes and school work. I was told by the shop assistant that it can run most fo your big games such as Call Of Duty and FIFA. Well frankly i was lied to and this laptop struggles to even play the simplest game Minecraft a game about pixelated blocks that you destroy and place and this can't even run it I am very annoyed about this and seeing if i can upgrade the machine never crossed my mind until now. So i am asking to see if it would be possible to upgrade the Hardware of this machine mainly the processor and graphics card, here are the specs of my laptop:
Processor- AMD E2-1800 APU w/ Radeon HD graphics (2CPUs) (1.80)GHz
Graphics Card - AMD Radeon HD 7340G
RAM - 8Gb
Memory - 1Tb
Now I am wondering if this machine's processor and graphic's card can be upgraded and if so what would be the price of it and where would be the best place and if the cost is too much would i be better off buying a new machine?
If you need more specs reply with the ones you need and i'll get them for you thank you for the help!joshua_2020 wrote:

Put this way if that system isn't costing you 2,000US or more then it will not play Call Of Duty and FIFA regardless of what the store sales person says. To play those games your laptop has to fall into the catgory called "Gaming Laptop" Specs and those come with cost and weight to show for it. Your laptop is only good at low games resolution and will not handle graphics intensive games. Those requires Gaming Laptop specs those cost money to be had. So if you still want to Game COD style you need to put down the cash for serious Game Laptop to perform under pressure. Forget about upgrading your current system what you want is a Serious Gaming Laptop if your going to play COD.

Please help! if u need more info tell me! Thanks for your time!
The first thing you are going to need is the Service Manual: Manual And let's tick off the things you cannot do at all: 1. Faster or more memory. No. You can only run at 1600 mhz and up to 8 gigs of DDR3-1600 SO-DIMM2. Better video. No. You have the top end motherboard for the G7-2200 series with the AMD 7670M switchable discrete video. Nothing else better is made that will fit in your laptop case. 3. Faster processor. No. i7-3632QM is also as good as it gets. 4. Backlit keyboard. None made for your laptop. You can install an Intel Centrino® Wireless-N 2230 802.11 b/g/n 2×2 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 combination adapter HP Part No. 670290-001 in place of the Realtek and it would be an improvement. $3 on eBay The video you linked shows upgrading an AMD A8 processor to an A10. The AMDs actually have the video hardware built right into the processor so upgrading the processor also upgrades the video. Yours does not work like that. The video hardware is on the motherboard not in the processor (a bit simpilified but generally true). If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card
Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
The Crew - Launch Trailer
PC configuration:
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
The dragon symbol on LED panel
With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games! -
Want to add Video and Graphic Card to my computer system
I Notice that one of the users' in the Apple discussion Board is Listed, (AndyO) he has help me many times in the Past and was succesful in my problrm solution, would he might be able to help me with this?
I had Purchased the Game Spore Creature Creator the Starter Kit which is just the Creature creator game and not the actual game itself. I wasn't able to install the the game on my computer because I don't have the right or not at all Video and Graphic Card install on my computer. I had Contacted the Company "EA" that puts out the Game Spore, this is what they said what the game requirements are: The minimum system requirements for Spore and Spore the Galactic Edition for Mac are as follows:
* Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
* Intel Core Duo Processor
* 1024 MB RAM
* At least 345 MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures. (260 MB for the Trial Edition)
* Video Card - ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac).
For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: an Intel Integrated Chipset GMA X3100 or Dual 2.0GHz CPUs, or 1.7GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
Supported Video Cards

* GMA X3100
and that I need to upgrade my system. Basically I need; ATI Radeon 1600 or NVIDIA Geforce 7300 and a INTEL Extreme Graphic Video Card-GMA X3100, in order to be able to install and play this game. Since I already have this game, I would like to be able to upgrade my computer system which brings me to ask; does somone know or refer me to a web site that has and sells these Video and Graphic Card and supports for the Mini Mac?
Plus they say that I need a 1020 of MB of Ram, I Have already found that 1024 MB of Ram but I just need those Video and Graphic Cards for my computer system. I am adding my computer system Profile to my discussion board to show you what I have on my system, would you be able to tell me if I would be able to add these Video and Graphic card and the memory or Ram 1024 to my computer system?
Note: Here is a web site that I am looking at to add the 1024 MB of Ram to my computer system:

Can someone Please help me with any suggestions or otherwisde I will have to go to a Apple store and ask for help there.
Thank You,

<Edited by Moderator>Hi Trisha,
The only modern Mac's with video cards are the Mac Pro and Xserve (server) systems. They both are priced quite a bit higher than any Mac Mini.
Some systems, like the Mac Book Pro laptop can be ordered with different graphics cards, but that has be done when the system is built, as it is not replaceable once the system is built. To find out which systems, go to store.apple.com. For each system that you select, you can see if there's an option for a better video card.

my computer has been getting either blue screen of death, or your machine has been turned off to save your computer or pixels jumping around across screen, so on white screen was getting streaks of blue from top to bottom and on black streaks of red dancing about, OR no screen at all - blank.
Now machine won't even boot up. This all happened both on cable and wireless. Product no VJ667EA # TX2 Touchsmart 1340ea.
There have been no upgrades of hardware , and on software front only thing is regular updates of windows. It was running Windows 7 64 bit professional.
It is now totally dead. If you try to boot up you get the electric symbol light up, and caps lock and end /number lock light up and flash... thats it.
We just tried to blow out dust that is all. I have a nasty feeling HP doesn't want to sell any parts and only bothered about selling folks like me a new machine which I am not going to buy. This one didn't last more than 18 months, just long enough to be out of guarantee. Here's hoping I am wrong and there are replacement motherboards and graphics cards (itYou're very welcome.
What seems to be unfair is I can buy that motherboard directly from HP in the USA as you saw, but for whatever reason you can't buy it directly from HP in the UK.
I still think you would be better off checking out what related notebooks may be for sale out there on eBay UK.
I buy all my PC's on eBay in used condition for great bargains. I do limit myself to the business PC's and notebooks that HP makes, however.
Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.

Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA-02000R CPU and video card chipset mismatch
can anyone help me with the specs on this laptop.
When I look at the official toshiba brochure for this product it mentions that the CPU Chipset is
"Mobile Intel 965PM Express Chipset"
but the second video card says
"Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GM45"
Which is correct because what I've read on the intel website, the GMA X3100 is used on the mobile 965PM Express Chipset.
Any help will be much appreciated.To be honest this unit is not known to me but I know that some other Satellite Pro A300 supports other chipsets;
For example:
SATELLITE PRO A300 PSAJ1E-005008BT supports Intel GM965 chipset and Intel GM965 graphic chip
SATELLITE PRO A300 PSAJ5E-001001GR supports Intel PM965 chipset and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
SATELLITE PRO A300-1E7 PSAGDE-003003EN supports Intel Mobile PM45 Express Chipset and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
SATELLITE PRO A300-1HF PSAG1E-00K00SIT supports Intel GM965 and Intel GM965 graphic chip as well.
SATELLITE PRO A300-21B PSAGDE-01S007A3 supports Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470.
As you see there are many different notebook models with completely different hardware components
I googled too and it seems that the Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA-02000R supports Mobile Intel 965PM Express chipset and graphic card ATI Mobility Radion, HD 3650 with 512MB + Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GM45. -

Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04439608.pdf
Go through Page 22, motherboard is specific to a processor, the graphics system, the type of dedicated card, pre installed operating system. You cannot replace processor or graphics alone - they are integrated or soldered on to board.

Recommend compatible PSU and graphics card for P35D3?
Recommend compatible PSU and graphics card for P35D3?
This weekend I’ll be taking my rig to a PC repair shop and ask them to swap out my PSU and my graphics card.
Because I’ve RMA’d all the components (see signature) several members of different forums, and the tech support of the various components, seem to think that my boot problem is because of a compatibility issue with either my Ultra X3 600W PSU or my XFX 8600 GT and my P35D3.
I need to be ready to make decision, without having time to research, if the repair tech recommends a replacement.
Here’s my considerations:
I selected the Ultra because it's both modular and 85% efficient (it also has the required 8-pin cable to power the P35D3's CPU and it has SATA power cables.
I selected the XFX 8600 GT card because it is dual-link (2 DVI outs -- Dell 30” & Viewsonic 19”) and it has no fan, and is DX10 ready. I’m not attached to the idea of no fan. I’m a speed freak but not a gamer or an over clocker--I like the option of trying out games.
Both the Ultra and the XFX are somewhat medium priced.
If the repair tech discovers that other PSUs or graphic cards work then I might be able to get Ultra or XFX to accept a return. Neither company accepted my offer to pay extra to exchange mine for another better model.
Suggestions please.
Thank you,
KerryThanks Boss,

Look here for good PSU suggestions:

About VGA any should work, you can see MSI Test Report for your board here:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodtestreport&prod_no=1230&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=#menu
lots of good info.
Wish me luck today (Thu), that the tech finds out my XFX or Ultra is not compatible.

wifi driver and graphics card driver not found, drivers avilable on site says incompatiable .
Hi:
The parts list for your notebook indicates that it has a Realtek RT8723BE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 combination adapter.
These would be the W8.1 drivers you need for that card...

What is maximum temperature for hard disk and graphics card?
After an hour of running mac, it gets so slow that after a while, i have no choice but to switch off with power key (pressed for 10 secs or so).
I downloaded temperature monitor gadget and I am noticing harddisk and graphics card temperature going high from 84 F to 130+ F
Is there any specifications on temperature range for different devices of iMac 24, 2007 model?psachania wrote:

Apple does not provide this information. Though the hard drive details can be looked up at the manufacture website. Most consumer grade drives have a maximum operating temperature of 60C. Though heat can play into lifespan of the drive so I would not want the drive running anywhere near that for extended periods. My advice is to keep the hard drive under 50C.
What applications you are running? How much RAM do you have? and how much free space is left on your hard drive?

Processor and Graphics Card Upgrade For HP ProBook 4445s
Hey guys,
I wanted to ask that I have a HP4445s with the A6 4400m processor and don't find it enough to play games.
The processor is a little bit slow and the graphics are kind of horrible for a gamer.
I feel like upgrading to a new processor.
The one that I found nice is the
AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor
I just wanted to ask whether I could upgrade to this.
I also wanted to find out that it says that there are no integrated graphics, so does that mean I will have to purchase a new graphic card?
Thanks,
Please reply!
This question was solved.
View Solution.That is a desktop processor and will not fit in any laptop. Right now some of the HP Support pages are down but I believe you can install an A10 AMD CPU which would improve the graphics just a little. There is no graphics "card" as you might be thinking of. It is a flat motherboard inside the laptop case with all the chips including video soldered on that board. The video comes from within the processor working with helping chips on the motherboard. An A10 processor provides slightly better graphics but nothing that will increase the gaming potential very much. That is a business laptop for doing Powerpoints and Spreadsheets and maybe watching a youtube video or playing a DVD. It is not a gamer. HP now makes the Omen laptop at about $1500 which would handle most high end games.
