@la1951g,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

An i7-740QM (TDP: 45-watt) is compatible for sure, as this HP EliteBook 8440p User showed, and perhaps an i7-920XM and the i7-940XM (TDP: 55-watt), though I was unable to verify the latter two's compatibility with your laptop.

If you want to boldly go where (maybe) no one has gone before, you could try: it will either work or doesn't work.

The main reason why an i7-920XM/940XM would be excluded from your platform, is the high TDP.  These processors obviously would run a lot hotter than 35/45-watt processors.

Kind Regards,

Hello again!! I am writing from my upgraded machine. I put an i7 740qm im my HP Elitebook 8440p and it works fine. But my laptops fan is going a little bit loud (i7 740qm is 45 watt cpu!)

So thank you for advice! I accepted your solution!

P.S. If someone tried 55 watt i7 , please leave your experience here

Thanks again!
