Laptop CPU bump!

Toothless · Oct 8, 2015

Anyone here ever upgrade a FS1 socket?

My laptop currently has a 3420m in it with a 6520g GPU. I'm just wondering if I can safely plop a 3520g w/6620g in it without any issues. I know I can remove the processors in this exact socket. I'm more worried about the board and cooling.

Laptop specs are in signiture. Any advice is welcome that does not involve throwing the laptop away.

All APUs in the table below will physically fit into the socket, but not all of them may be supported by all motherboards. However, due to short socket life-span, it's likely that all listed below processors will work. If you're upgrading a processor in existing laptop, make sure that the CPU is compatible with your motherboard. Please see "Upgrading socket FS1 motherboards" section below for additional information.

how much are you paying for this upgrade? Is 100MHz really worth it from 3420m to 3520m.. I would just sell the laptop and get a new/second hand one instead.

It's for a GPU upgrade since I can't seem to OC it. I can run the CPU at 2.5ghz (stock 1.5) but the GPU is SLIGHTLY under what I need.

Upgrade is like $30
