What's the best i7 mobile core for my Dell Inspiron N5050?

[DeLorean 2017]

According to Dell, my Inspiron N5050 laptop can only support up to the Core i5-2350M. But the socket type is G2 or rPGA988B, in which a lot of mobile CPUs including i7s. Which i7 mobile CPU would work best on my N5050? And what dual channel speeds does it allow?

EDIT: My BIOS Version is A05, and would I be able to get a new fan that could handle the new CPU?

Thanks,

Just because you have the socket, it doesn't mean the BIOS or cooling is up to the task of a faster CPU. Often whatever CPU choices were available when buying the CPU are the only ones supported in the BIOS. And as I said, cooling might not be up to task. If it's designed to work on a 55W CPU and you drop in a 80W CPU, then it will just overheat anyways.

Also the laptop might not even be able to power it correctly.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from DeLorean 2017 : "I need the best mobile CPU that works on my Dell Inspiron n5050"

I did some research and Dell says that my Inspiron N5050 laptop can only support up to the Intel Core i5-2430M processor, which is 35 watts. But the socket type is G2 or rPGA988B, which supports a wide range of mobile CPUs. I would like to install an i7 mobile core but can my laptop support CPUs over 35 watts? If no, there are some 35 watt i7 mobile CPUS that I could try. But even if just get the 35 watt i7, can my fan handle it, or do I need to get a new fan? Also, I did flash the BIOS to version A05, which according to Dell, adds support for more enhanced CPUs. So I think that my BIOS will be able to support it.
