#Hm65 cpu support series
Same layout – by meaning the CPU is above the fan – and a thicker copper heat sink tube as well as a wider copper plate… Just as I wanted! This cooler is for Sony VAIO SVE151 series with an integrated GPU. And after many hours/days of searching, I found a look alike one. I went back online to look for an alternative cooling solution only focusing on Sony VAIO parts. Needed a new cooling system! Finding A Suitable Heatsink And I knew my stock heatsink won’t be able to handle the 45W. The width of the i7-2860QM’s core is way wider and the copper plate on mine was barely covering the core. Intel i5-2430M CPU & Heatsink in Sony Laptop When I looked at the copper heat sink plate on the processor it seemed to be too small. Stripped Screw Fixįinally I got it open! Sony VAIO VPCEH2P0E Inside Solving The Cooling Problem The screws were so tough that the screw heads just broke off during the extraction. I needed to get a left-turn screw extractor drill bit which finally did the trick. Stripped Screw On The Back Of The Sony VAIO Laptop The reason why I hadn’t taken it apart was 3 stuck screws due to the plenty blue Loctite on their threads. I have never done this before after so many years of usage – apart of memory and SSD update. It was time to disassemble the VAIO and have a look at it inside. Disassembling The Sony VAIO VPCEH2P0E Laptop It’s 10W higher and thus will produce more heat. The post looked genuine, so I thought I’ll give it a go too! Although the 45W TDP issue was still there to solve. What about the BIOS support? And the increased TDP? After a long searching, I found on a forum that somebody successfully has replaced their i3-2330M CPU with this model having the identical socket and R0200Z9 BIOS version. To me it looked a significant performance increase, over 112%! The socket types above are not matching, however Intel kindly supplies this chip with the suitable socket.Īnd will it work? It will physically fit. After creating a list of the potential candidates and I checked their benchmarks on I picked the Intel i7-2860QM. I went through all the CPUs started from the bottom to check, which one of them has Socket G2 (rPGA 988B) packaging. The website gave me a nice list of the supported processors for my motherboard. I started my search based on the mainboard’s Intel HM65 chipset. The BIOS version R0200Z9 is also presented on this page, which I used later to do some research. The ‘Mainboard’ tab contained the motherboard’s chipset (Southbridge) which is a Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset.
#Hm65 cpu support upgrade
Some important things for the upgrade are displayed too such as the Max TDP 35W and the Socket rPGA 988B (a.k.a Socket G2).
The dual core CPU has a base frequency of 2.40GHz which can go up to 3.00GHz when the turbo boost is active. It revealed more details regarding the current CPU and the motherboard’s chipset. I used CPU-Z to find out more about the laptop. It is a Sony VAIO VPCEH2P0E laptop with an Intel Core i5-2430M processor (CPU) and an Intel HD Graphics 3000. I have already upgraded it with extra memory and a SSD drive and I thought it’s time for a CPU upgrade too. My first question was, what are the supported CPUs by my motherboards chipset? And the second was, what is the chipset on it? If the TDP is higher, can the heatsink / fan be upgraded?.I had to put the following things into consideration.
Before the upgrade I had to find out which CPUs are compatible with my old laptop.
