HP Envy 23 Beats CPU upgrade

catnamedog · ‎05-12-2017

Hi

I want to upgrade my HP Envy 23 Beats recliner from its factory-fitted i5 CPU, to an i7 CPU.

I understand that due to cooling/ventilation constraints, the TDP must be a maximum of 45W.

I've already upgraded the RAM from the factory-fitted 8GB up to 16GB. Will this impact on the power/heat overhead of the replacement i7 CPU?

Your recommendations please for the replacement i7.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi

It has an i5 4570T @ 2.9GHz, Intel HD Graphics 4600.

Is there an HP app which will tell me the motherboard number?
