Can, i upgrade my cpu in my laptop?

Post by Spambot » Tue Oct 16, 2012 8:39 pm

Well, newer games with advanced graphics, have fallen upon laptop users. Now i would just play ra2 or final fantasy 3 but, replaying it for the 1000th time is getting old. So, the question is, can i upgrade my cpu/gpu? My specs are this:
Computer: HP 2000-369WM
CPU: AMD E-450 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics "Dual Core 1.4Ghz"
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6320 Graphics
OS: Windows 7, and Ubuntu

You can actually upgrade, but it is very hard if you are untrained. The best E-Series APU ( GPU+CPU) is the E2-1800. The E2-1800 contains a 2x 1.7 GHz combined with AMD HD 7340 Grafics. If you are really planing to upgrade be very careful with the disassembly. There are just tons of screws. Cables likely break. But if you want to upgrade you can do it since the TDP is the same and the socket is BGA-413 in both cases. But i dont garantee you if it works, there could be some hardwareproblems or BIOS complications.

Sorry for my bad english

Hmm, i was 'planning' on upgrading, fully as i am stuck with all c&c games 'not so bad, but the last 3 have sucked' all final fantasies 'not bad but, the replay is useless', i can play mlb 2k12 'at great speed except for some lag when you go up to bat and/ or field' , nba 2k13 'is playable but, aggravating because it is slow', call of duty 1/2/3 'i bought the first 3 because, they were actually good then they sucked after those.' Ghost Recon Counterstrike and etc 2008- games, play very well. But, i want to play some new games. Ya know? But, it seems as if you should NOT update it. As what you said, shows that the computer could easily break.

Well i changed the CPU of my HP TC4400 Compaq but that is very easy . You just have to flip up the keyboard and there u got the cooler plate with the cpu under it. I dont know how your HP is build. It could be that easy to but i dont thinks so. Anyway there is still a possibility just search for a disassembly on YT and take a look. I cleaned my HP dv9808eg a long time ago that was a hard job and i got still 20 screws lying here and i dont know where they belong to. So as a not experienced user i would sell my notebook save some money and buy a new one with maybe replacable Graphic cards ( yeah that reallly exists). These are called MXM Slots , something like PCI. There you could just buy a new one and ur done.

Hmm, you care to elaborate, on where the cooling plate is? I have like 5 different plates.

Just follow the copper pipe and youll find the CPU. Have you already opened your Notebook? You just have to search for a backplate or for the CPU itself . Belongs how HP build the motherboard in.

Build yourself a gaming desktop computer it's more better then a laptop and easy to upgrade. Don't build an ultimate computer that cost around $1,000 that's just a waste of money.
