[SOLVED] ASUS N73SV - CPU Upgrade

[Kitezh]

Hello guys,

I would like to upgrade the CPU in my ASUS N73SV laptop to Intel Core i7-2960XM.
Would it work?

Here's the information about my laptop's current hardware:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2301 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. N73SV.306, 18-Aug-11
SMBIOS Version: 2.6
Embedded Controller Version: 255.255
BIOS Mode: Legacy
BaseBoard Product: N73SV

Thank you for your time.

I doubt it will work. An i7 2630qm should though, as it was an option for your series of notebook.

Looks like the 2670qm was too.
