Replacing i5 with i7 compatability?

[Dader]

I have smashed HP Envy dv6 7295ex with some intact hardware like the CPU & I am going to buy Asus K56CM with 3rd generation Core i5 CPU, So...

Could I replace Intel Core i5 3317U with Intel Core i7 3630QM?

Best wishes &
Thanks for your help...

I can't be sure. There's nothing on the Asus site about it, so I would recommend calling Asus support and asking them this.

It seems to me that Asus is aimed version for some markets, but lets take it theoretically ;could that i7 3630QM fit into the i5 3317U CPU slot? Is it possible?

I checked up on the processors at Intel's site, and they aren't the same socket.
