Hi,

I have a E440 with i5 4200M , i want to upgrade the cpu to i7 4700mq processor.
I understand the i7's tdp is 47w and the i5' tdp is 37w.

Will the E440 work with this upgrade ? Please share your thoughts. Thanks

Kris

i5 4200m uses socket FCPGA946, which technically means it's not soldered.

How are you saying it is soldered to the motherboard ?
