CPU upgrade for pavilion g6 laptop

[Guido73]

Hello, my laptop is:

HP Pavilion G6-1004sl

CPU intel core i3-380

4GB RAM

SSD

I cannot find  the manual on the HP site. What is the fastest CPU  that I can install  to upgrade it?

Thanks

Guido

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

c02770249.pdf

Chapter 1 has the list of supported processors and memory upgrade information.

Chapter 3 has the list of parts.

Your notebook has an Intel HM 55 Express Chipset which means you can only install a supported Intel 1st generation core processor.

Looks like the best you can do according to the manual is the Intel Core i5-480M processor.

However, if you look at this discussion, it shows that someone successfully installed the i7-640M in a similar g6-1000 model.

Next to the last post on the second page.

Thanks very helpful!

I will look for a used i7 then.

Have a great day!

You're very welcome, Guido.

Just make sure that it's a 1st generation dual core processor, not a quad core.

You have a great day too!

Cheers, 

Paul
