Hey, i got
-socket 1170 bga (on lenovo laptop g50) /celeron intel cpu

I want to upgrade it to i7 2630qm wich use
-socket G2 / rPGA988B

Does it support?
 
Solution
The sockets are not compatible with each other. Also, the rPGA988B is a Pin Grid Array which allows the CPU to be removed. On the BGA socket, the CPU is soldered to the motherboard.
