i7 2760QM on HP Probook 4330s.

[_Rici_]

Hi. I have a question. I would like to install i7 2760QM proccesor into my HP probook 4330s. 

Has someone done it before ? Or do you know that some other quad core i7s will work on this notebook ?

My actual cpu specs:

Proccesor: i3 2330M

Socket: rPGA 988B

Motherboard: 167E (CPU 1)

BIOS: F.65 -2018 (Newest)

Thank you so much for reply 🙂

Yes.  Here you go: HP ProBook 4330s Performance Results - UserBenchmark.

Hey thank you again @NonSequitur777

But i have I have some suspicions that they edited the notebook’s bios whitelist. What do you think ?

Do you mean UserBenchMark manipulated the data? No, I don't think so. If you look at compatible i3-2330M upgrade CPUs, the i7-2760QM shows up: https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Core_i3_Mobile/i3-2330M_(PGA).html.

Okay so i am buying one. Just last 2 dumb questions. (don't worry, i won't waste your time anymore)

So i decided to buy an i7 2670QM off Aliexpress. I found a good deal and the reviews are also good. I think that i will risk it. Here is a link:

What do you think ? And another dumb question. Will this proccesor start (just boot, no other heavy work) on 65w adapter ? (Just wanna see if it even works).  

Thank you so much mate you are very helpful.

Or what do you think about this ? These should be original used i7 2760QM.

I have no other choice. I have to risk it because in my country there are NO i7 2760QM avaible on market, or they are too expensive (new).

Yes, I have ordered processors through AliExpress before, and they all worked out A-OK. 

Your 65-watt charger will probably work, but you may want to consider getting a 90-watt charger, such as shown in this link: Amazon.com: 90W AC Adapter Charger Replacement for HP Probook 4530S 4540S 4520S 4535S 4525S 4545S 64....
