Hi:

You can only install one of the processors listed in chapter 1 of your notebook's service manual.

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03345657

No 45W processors are supported.

Here is a comparison chart of your current processor and the best one you can install...the i7-3612QM:

Thanks >>

you mean i cant take i5 ?? but why ??

and i cant take cpu with 45w ??

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

You can install any of the i5's listed in chapter 1.

All of the processors listed in chapter 1 of the service manual are 35W.

I was just giving you the best one you can install.

I personally think it is a waste of time upgrading processors unless you go for the best one you can.

You are better off investing your money in a solid state drive and maxing out the memory.

thank you so mush bro ❤️

i have 6 gb ram ddr3 and my hard is normal 500gb but for my editing work i have purchased an external wd 1tb

i needed to some high end cpu to my work like intel i7 but with integrated gpu for some games ^ my be i will take this one 

i searched for i7-740qm but its so bad cpu and not like this one & without any integrated gpu 😞

if you dont mind 🙂 i need some note

if my bord "sandy bridge" i cant upgrade to "ivy bridge" right ?? 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

That would be correct but your board has the Panther Point chipset and they hobbled it by installing a sandy bridge processor.

See chapter 1 of the manual for the chipset specs...

Chipset Intel HM76 Express Chipset

If you click on the compatible processors supported by the chipset, you will see the ones listed in the HP service manual.
