replacing the CPU of DV7-4060us

I bought this laptop 2 years ago, I love it very much

As I'm doing more and more calculation and cpu-focused jobs on this laptop, I'd like to upgrade the CPU

I check the ebay, there are 

AMD Phenom II N930

AMD Phenom II N950

AMD Phenom II N970 

available for the budget,

i believe they are all Socket S1 which I found on the GPU-Z

 

Before I purchase one, I'd like to know whether those cpu will be compatibel to the 4060us's motherboard

If not, would you please give me any suggestion?

thank you very much!

Thank you very much for the reply

The manual book is one of the reason I am asking that question, I just wonder whether I need to update the BIOS, however, it seems like that it is unnecessary
