Question Best CPU price / quality? [G2 Socket]

[matute1172]

Hello! I need a hardware expert advice!
I bought my laptop in 2012, its a HP Pavilion g6 2212es with the next specs:
Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 183E
Socket: rPGA988B
Chipset: Intel HM76 (Panther Point)
CPU : i5 - 3210M (2C/4T, 2.5GHz - 3.1GHz Ivy Bridge)
RAM: 12GB DDR3 1600MHz (added 8GB last week)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7600M
HDD: 500GB
SSD: 240 GB (added last week)
PSU: 7100mAh (added las week)
I was using this laptop during the first 2 years, after that, I built a desktop PC and laptop rested in peace until now, that I need it for work and study. So last week I upgraded RAM, SSD, and PSU. (The laptop was like totally DEAD) but Im having some troubles with CPU, like 100% usage, fan spinning so fast (I disambled the fan and cleaned it and replaced thermal paste). So i thinks its bcs it only has 2 cores, and I'm doing kind of multitasking (browser, whatsapp app, videos, spoty, excel, word).
So I decided to look for a CPU update: the I7- 3840QM. I confirmed its compatible with my board (I guess) but I'm afraid of power consumption from 35 TDP to 45 TDP, and maybe higher temps, from 2C/4T, 2.5GHz - 3.1GHz to 4C/8T 2.8GHz to 3.8Ghz).
Should I go for it or maybe look for an i7 ''lighter'' version?

For the same price the 3740QM is obviously better than the 3632QM, so as long as it's compatible, yeah, no-brainer.

Again, with the 3740QM you're moving from a 35W TDP to a 45W TDP chip. Not sure how the mobo and VRM will handle that. I'm less concerned about cooling.
