I have a first gen Pc Hp 3130 mt core i3 550 8gb ram
MoBo: H57
Bios version : 6.14
I want to upgrade it with a CPU of either core i5 760 or core i7 880 both of which have 4 cores and a TDP of 95W.
My current processor core i3 550 has a TDP of 7W.
It would be cheaper for me to upgrade my cpu rather than buying a new pc at the moment. my question is wether it might be okay to do so or the risk are too high to do go ahead.
with the new cpu i will be able to do some heavy task thus the reason for the upgrade.
