Does an i7-2960XM work on a motherboard with Intel QM67 Express?

I bought a Lifebook T-901 from Fujitsu from Bastellust. According to Intel, the maximum usable processor is an i7-2960XM on the motherboard. But now I'm asking myself: Does the laptop manage that cool?

First, you should check if the CPU is socketed.

Is she surprisingly! It uses a rPGA 988B socket that is unusual for Intel. Currently sits a i5-2520M on it.

Then if the power supply packs.

Then if the BIOS supports the CPU and then you can think about the cooling.

BIOS supports the CPU, wattage has not changed

Ne 55W is hard to cool. If the power supply is playing then the CPU is clocked down in the worst case.

… That with the socket was quite common in the past that the CPU s were capped.

Your current one has only 35W

That makes the PSU probably nothing, it creates running Fujitsu processors with a TDP up to 65 W.

Well then, have fun.

The power supply may do that, but whether it makes the voltage converter on the motherboard is another question.
