Hello,

First ever post, hope its in the right place.

I have a Lenovo - idea centre 720-18IKL, model 90H0002VUS, motherboard 36C5, processor i5-7400 @3.00ghz 3000mhz 4 cores, 16.00 gb RAM

What processor can I go up to?

Intel Core i7-9700 Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 4.7 GHz LGA1151 300 Series 65W ?
Intel Core i9-9900K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 5.0GHz Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W (BX806849900K) ?



Thanks!

Hi, unfortunately your mobo only supports 6th and 7th gen

max upgrade would be i7 7700

The only question i would ask is this . Is the motherboard the same for the Lenovo model that the 7700 comes with ? I only ask this because if the Lenovo has a different motherboard could have slightly better vrm cooling because the cpu will pull more juice. At this stage of the game the 7700 isnt going to give you that much more in all honesty

Why do you want to change the processor?

What, specifically, is this laptop doing that does not meet your needs?
I get intermittent freezing while playing certain games, even though I meet the recommended settings from the publisher.

Cpu usage spikes to 100% and i have to close out.

Will an I7 7700 fix that?
