Welcome to HP Support Community

As per the Service Manual the HP Pavilion DV7 Entertainment has been tested with I7-820QM and i7-720QM Processors

Link: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01859666

Since it can support i7-820QM it should also support I7-840QM.Processors. Please note that HP does not recommend upgrading parts like Processor & Motherboard, you can do so at your own discretion

Thank you and have a great day 😊

There is no particular list for compatible Processors. The Notebook uses the GT320M Chipset Motherboard and it should support the I7-840QM Processor

HP does not recommend upgrading the Motherboard or Processor since those parts are Non Customer Accessible parts

Thank you
