Jul 24, 2016 - Here is a site concerning HM65 compatibility CPU-Upgrade: Intel HM65 Express chipset processor support Maybe you will see something.
I have an old ACER 5830TG but that is very good for what I do (Web development).
However, I was thinking in upgrading it rather than buying a new one.
It comes with an
Intel i5 2410m
, and apart from buying 16gb of ram (specs says only up to 8gb but I'm gonna try) and an SSD for it, I was thinking in upgrading the processor, by buying an Intel Core i7-3632QM
. It has the same socket, uses the same TDP (35w) but differs in microns (32 vs 22).![Hm65 Hm65](/uploads/1/2/4/9/124921619/213409244.jpg)
Will it work?

Your laptop has chipset Intel HM65 with Socket G2/rPGA988B. According to Intel pages it isn't compatible with your desired Core i7-3632QM.
Click on compatible products:
But be carefull. Your CPU is 35W model so higher 45W CPUs would most probably overheat!

You can change the processor on many computers provided 3 things:
- You can actually remove the processor
- The socket is compatible
- The motherboard is compatible
You can check for information on the last 2 points by using some tool like CPU-z or similar which will thell you the model and capabilities of both, and you can further inspect their compatibility on the manufacturer's website.
