Upgrade CPU HP TouchSmart 600

[JiriTrojan]

I have HP TouchSmart 600 (s.number: [edited], SKU number:XF685EA#UUW) with Intel Core i5-460M CPU.

Can I upgrade CPU to Intel Core i7 720QM Quad Core?

(or Intel Core i7 820QM Quad Core, Intel Core i7 620M Dual Core)

Thanks for answer

Hi @JiriTrojan,

Thanks for stopping by the HP community. A very good day to you.  I reviewed the post regarding assistance with processor upgrades for the notebook. I will be delighted to assist you here. 

Superb description and stupendous diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that.

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require information regarding this:

For a start please try these steps:

• Did you check the product specs or motherboard of your computer?

For now, please check the motherboard specs:

• Please check the product specs link: http://hp.care/2fBV2eV

It clearly states that I7 Quad core processor is upgradeable and compatible.

• Intel Core i7 820QM Quad Core (C)

• Intel Core i7 720QM Quad Core (C)

• Intel Core i7 620M Dual Core (A)

• Intel Core i5 5x0M Dual Core (A)

• Intel Core i5 430M Dual Core (A)

• These are the only list of processors that are tested by HP.

Please check under the option "Processor upgrade information"

I hope this answers your question

Please note that HP does not recommend upgrading either the operating system or the computer’s hardware as the components that were initially installed with the unit are certified by HP for optimal performance. However, as you are very technically inclined, I would still request you to consult a local technician like Best Buy or Staples before proceeding to upgrade the unit.

This is to ensure that there are no compatibility issues and everything is a smooth sail.

Please perform all these steps patiently as it is critical to resolving the issue. The trick is to remain patient, Going by your technical expertise and competence I am sure you will be able to perform these steps without breaking a sweat. 

Hope this helps. Let me know how this goes. I genuinely hope the issue gets resolved without hassles and the unit works great.

To simply say thanks, please click the "Thumbs Up" button to give me a Kudos to appreciate my efforts to help. If this helps, please mark this as “Accepted Solution” as it will help several others with the same issue to get it resolved without hassles.

Take care now and have a terrific week ahead.
