Samsung R60 cpu upgrade

[jostein]

Hi,I've got a NP-R60F000/SEI Samsung laptop and I'd like to upgrade the original cpu (T2130) with a faster one; what cpu's can MB support? Thanks to all in advance for reply.

Here's a list:

Be careful not to choose a chip with a much higher TDP.

Thanks for answering, but I'm quoting from pc-world itself:
"If you're upgrading an old computer system please make sure that the CPU is compatible with your motherboard.
Determine which processors are supported by your system you'll need to determine computer model (for brand-name notebooks, like Dell or HP), or a manufacturer and a model of your motherboard, and then search on manufacturer's website for that computer or motherboard model. Most manufacturers don't post CPU upgrade information for notebooks, but sometimes you may find upgrade recommendations in manufacturer's product support forums. Also try to send an e-mail to manufacturer's custom support, or post in other computer-related forums, but don't expect many responses."
This is just I need to know, what cpu's can be supported on R60 mainboard, but Samsumg lacks of documentation about it. Could you help me?Thanks

Just choose any CPU with the same TDP an socket from that list. That message is there to remind people to choose the proper TDP and socket for their laptops. It is also in place to warn of BIOS versions and locks.

Thanks for your kindness, please let me do last question: so a T2600 cpu which has same TDP of T2130 but different v core (1.1625V - 1.3V vs. 1V - 1.3V) and bus speed ( 667 Mhz vs. 533 Mhz) might be working on R60? I promise i won't bother you 🙂

The one you want to put in has a range of 1.1625V - 1.3V, right?

 

[jostein]

Right, whereas T2130 (original cpu) has a range of 1V - 1.3V.

 

[elemein]

Right, whereas T2130 (original cpu) has a range of 1V - 1.3V.

Yes, that'll work perfectly fine. It may incur slightly (very slightly, like a handful of %) more heat and power consumption on the lower end, but it'll work fine.

Many thanks for your advice, I thinks this upgrade will help my R60 a lot 🙂
