Hi, I have a MSI GT683R and I´d like to upgrade the CPU and the Fan if possible!
Mi notebook details are:
1.- Replacing the CPU
The goal is to replace the CPU without changing anything else, so starting from
this web page:
- http
/www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20G2%20%28rPGA988B%29.html
I have to nice options:
- i7-2860QM
- i7-2920XM
Here are the three processors characteristics:
Technology (micron) Cores Threads Frequency (MHz) Turbo freq. (MHz) L2 cache (KB) L3 cache (KB) TDP (Watt)
i7-2670QM 0.032 4 8 2200 3100 1024 6144 45
i7-2860QM 0.032 4 8 2500 3600 1024 8192 45
i7-2920XM 0.032 4 8 2500 3500 1024 8192 55
Based on benchmarks (https/www.cpubenchmark.net/), the 2920XM and the 2860QM
have very similar results...so I think that the 2860QM should be the selected one
as the 2920XM uses 10 more Watts...it should generate more heat too, isn´t it?
And so, the question is:
- Replacing the i7-2670QM with a i7-2860QM should work without changing anything else?
Should the BIOS work with this CPU (Frequency and Turbo freq. are higher)?
2.- Thermal Compound
I´m going to "update" the thermal compound from my CPU and GPU.
I´ve found that the Thermal Compound HY-880 is a nice replacement:

- Have any one tried it? Is it worth it?
3.- CPU and GPU Fan
My notebook fan is working nicely but I´d like to replace it with a new one that
generates more airflow.
The actual one is this:
Fan: T&T - B9733L12B-028 - 0,36A 12VDC - E330800182MC200B30058436
And I´m able to find a similar replacement but not a "better" one.
- Anyone knows of a better fan that could improve to cold down the system?
Thank you in advance!!!!
