@Mychayel,

 

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

 

Yes, your HP Pavilion G6-2231ec Notebook PC is likely compatible with an i5-3360M, looking here: https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Core_i7_Mobile/i7-3632QM_(PGA).html:

@Mychayel,

 

That is affirmative -all the way up to an i7-3632QM (4-Cores, 8-Threads, 2.20 GHz up to 3.20 GHz, TDP: 35 watt), also confirmed by HP. This is also the processor I would recommend. You can purchase one for $38 via this trusted US-based eBay Seller: i7-3632QM for sale | eBay.

 

Kind Regards,

@Mychayel,

 

My bad: you'll probably have to find out if you can purchase this processor via eBay-Germany: i7-3632QM online kaufen | eBay.
