ASUS-K501U CPU Upgrade

[tony.spanevello]

Is it possible to upgrade the CPU to a quad core I7 in an Asus K501U. The K501U has a dual core I7-6500U and the performance is deteriorated for what I need to do.

No, the CPU is BGA(soldered to the motherboard). The 6500U was the best cpu shipped with that model so you won't even find a motherboard with a better cpu on it.

Dang, that's what I feared. Thanks for the fast reply.
