HP Probook 450 G1 CPU upgrade

[djbj_0]

Hi,

I'm looking to upgraed my good old notebook and was wondering about all the supported CPUs for it. I know for sure that these are supported: 

 i3-4000M

 i3-4100M

 i5-4200M (my current one)

 i7-4702MQ

 2550M and

 3550M

The thing is, I found this one to be really effective cost/performace wise: i5-4310M but I can't figure out whether my computer would support it. On the site hwbot.org it states that both the i5-4200M and i5-4310M share the Intel HM87 chipset and the g3 cpu socket and the list of supported motherboards for both were identical. 

What confused me though, is when I found out my motherboard version through cmd.exe, it said Hewlett-Packard 1942 which was nowhere on the hwbot lists.

Sorry if I dragged this out a little too long but what I'd really like to know is preferably a full list of supported CPUs for my computer and/or whether the i5-4310M is supported.

Thanks!

From what I understand, that is the list of processors that the Probook 450 G1 use for their different models. But does that mean the i5-4310M wouldn't work?

Hello @djbj_0,

Thank you for your reply !!

HP has tested and certified the list of compatible Processors for your PC model as i have mentioned in my previous post.

The Guide will have all the compatible Hardwares. If that hardware is not listed, then I means they are not compatible.

Since i5-4310M is not tested, Cannot assure you, It might or It might not work.

hi,

the below cpus are all on socket G3 and should be all (I think) compatible with the chipsets HM86,HM87,QM87. I've pasted the TDP to make u aware of it ... yours is an 37w and i don't know how much u can push it . I think u could upgrade to 47w , but would u push your luck to a 57w cpu ? pls reply with details 

Processor Number TDP 2950M 37 W 2970M 37 W 3550M 37 W 3560M 37 W i3-4000M 37 W i3-4100M 37 W i3-4110M 37 W i5-4200M 37 W i5-4210M 37 W i5-4300M 37 W i5-4310M 37 W i5-4330M 37 W i5-4340M 37 W i7-4600M 37 W i7-4610M 37 W i7-4700MQ 47 W i7-4702MQ 37 W i7-4710MQ 47 W i7-4712MQ 37 W i7-4800MQ 47 W i7-4810MQ 47 W i7-4900MQ 47 W i7-4910MQ 47 W i7-4930MX 57 W i7-4940MX 57 W

I currently have an i7 4700mq in a Probook 450 G1, working just fine.

You do have to watch the temperature in say gaming scenarios with a discrete GPU, but for that you have the Intel XTU utility, which works wonders, everything is adjustbale from voltage to tdp and current limits.

The only problem with XTU at least on a 450 G1 with Win 8.1,  is that you have to shut down the XTU service from task manager manually each time you want to shut down or put the PC to sleep - because if you dont the application might stop working altogether and whats more you wont be able to uninstall the mess.

Here's a benchmark with stock settings (no XTU or any other tuning, high performance power setting)

Thanks for sharing I have an HP Probook 450 G1 aswel and I was going for an  i7 4700mq too. Glad to know is working fine.

Regards.

Will be just fine, been using it for like a year now, power supply seems to handle it no problem, only thing you have to watch is thermals under load.
