Upgrade HP Pavillion All in One 24-b110ns

[cgviz.boss]

Hi, i need to upgrade my All in One ( I3 6100t) to a more powerful processor with same socket LGA 1151 and TDP. 35W.
So, Can i upgrade to I7 ( 6700T, 35TDP, LGA1151).?
can be any problem? Bios,MB, etc..?

And is there any other I7 upgradable with better integrated graphics?

Thx!

Unfortunately, All in Ones can't be upgraded, with perhaps exception to memory.
A BGA chip like this one is soldered to the motherboard and can't be replaced.
You're stuck with buying brand new.

Most (all?) All-in-One's are made with laptop parts to be compact.

The i3 6100T isn't a BGA chip, it's an LGA chip like desktop processors. The CPU is upgradeable, but getting to it is likely to be a pain and will likely involve dismantling most or all of the computer.

HP's site says that the i7 6700T is compatible with that PC, so it should work fine once it is installed. The 6700T's integrated graphics are weaker than the 6100T's though (probably to keep that 35 Watt TDP), so if this upgrade is all about gaming, you're pretty much out of luck as you can't add a dedicated GPU to an all-in-one system. If you're looking for better graphics, you're going to need an entirely new computer because the HD 530 IGP on your 6100T is as good as it gets for that HP all-in-one.

Thanks Supernova. Yes, it´s a LGA chip.
Why do i have to dismantle most of the computer? I have LGA sockets in others computers and are easy to replace.

So Graphics on the I7 are less powerful than on my I3?? Can´t believe it....I thought it was at least the same i have now, HD530
The HP AIO is now for one of my sons and HD530 graphics are not very fast on today games like Fortnite and so on..

All-in-ones are built like laptops where actually getting access to the CPU socket can be difficult as it's buried under a whole bunch of other stuff. It's probably not going to be as simple as removing a cooler and popping out the CPU.

Yes the 6700T's IGP is weaker than the 6100T's. It probably comes down to staying within that 35 Watt TDP. The i7 adds 2 additional cores that are also hyperthreaded over the 6100T. On paper that would double the power consumption and thermal output unless the 6700T was clocked extremely low to compensate. The only other way to reduce that would be to severely cut down the integrated graphics built into the CPU.

Even if that motherboard was not restricted to 35 Watt CPUs, there still wouldn't be a CPU that had better integrated graphics. The HD 530 is basically as good as it gets for integrated graphics on desktop processors on that platform. The only better integrated graphics on a desktop CPU from Intel would be the extremely rare Broadwell CPUs eg. the i5 5675C and i7 5775C which are on the LGA 1150 socket and have a 65 Watt TDP.

Bottom line is the only way to get better graphics would be with a dedicated GPU and all-in-ones do not have the internal space or a PCI-E slot to add one. The only other solution would be an external GPU dock, but those are expensive and most require Thunderbolt which you aren't likely to find on a low end all-in-one system.

All clear. Thanks again!

Hi Guys!, It´s been a long time 😀 Now I´ve upgraded HD to SSD and also memory to 16GB, and all is working fine! Now, it´s time to upgrade processor. So far I had chosen Core I7 6700T as it´s one of the capable processors HP offered. But i see this MB (Saipan) comes with Chipset H170 (Skylake) and this chipset is also able to install a Core I7 7700t.

So, do you think can i install core I7 7700T (7th Gen) instead of 6700T (6th Gen)?? Both are 35W TDP. Gain is just a few MHZ but also has a better Integrated Graphics HD Intel® 630 instead of 530 and price is same fot both.

Best regards!
