Update:found an I5-3210m for just under 30€ and a 2540m for 30€. The motherboard is an Asus K54C 1.0. The laptop has also been out of warranty for the past 2 years (24 month retailer's warranty) so no worries about voiding warranty.

I'm looking to replace the CPU in my Asus X54C. It currently has a Celeron B820 (1.7GHz, 2 core, 2 thread). I was wondering if it is possible, which CPU I could use, and how it would affect the thermals of the laptop.
