The cpu temp finally reaches 70-80 C and i can hear the fan spinning. I disabled BD PROCHOT in throttleStop and this unlocked the clock, but Package Pwr0 is 55W while the limit is 45W. Running heavyLoad utility to stress the cpu and intel power gadget and throttleStop, a big read "PROC HOT" apprears when the cpu reaches 55 C.ĥ5 C is set as active cooling on my bios, fan at 50%, 75 C active cooling and fan 100%, 95 C passive cooling cpu throttling.īut the fan is always quiet, probably because it s locked at 800Mhz immediatly.Ĭould this be the cause? How or where should i change this setting? Should i try a specific setting for throttleStop?

#Hm65 cpu support windows
Yeah, same for windows and macOS or any other linux distro In my case, I will see a 190% improvement from the weak i3-2310M when the new CPU arrives. So it should be fine after the upgrade, even in my more extreme case.Īs for performance, you will see an up to 27% improvement when upgrading to an i7-2860QM, which is what I would get in your case. However, you also need to consider the TJunction which is 85C for my current i3-2310M but 100C for all SNB i7 SKUs.
#Hm65 cpu support upgrade
This is more relevant to my system as my current CPU is a 35W SKU so an upgrade to 45W will be apparent. If you get good temps now with proper TIM application, you’ll see the same after the upgrade. The multiplier does not actually matter because all you need to look for is a faster SNB i7 overall, the rest will be taken care of by the BIOS.Īs for temps, the TDP of 2630 - 2860 is always 45W so almost nothing will change.
#Hm65 cpu support update
You can update the microcode though when a Spectre Variant 2 fix is released which has not yet occurred for SNB. You don’t need to update anything as your BIOS has CPU microcode support for all these SNB processors (CPUID 206A7). There is also the limitation of 16GB RAM for 2630 only but most HM65 laptops usually had two slots so the maximum was usually 2x8 = 16GB either way. Indeed you need an i7-27xx+ cpu to have official 1600MHz support. This is the Intel Ark list of compatible CPUs I created for my HM65 system.

I bought an i7-2760QM due to the lower cost but in your case you could get an i7-2860QM relatively cheap after selling your current processor. But if you want to do it, I think that you should pick either an i7-2760QM or an i7-2860QM. Since you already have an i7, you won’t honestly see much of an improvement from any upgrade.
#Hm65 cpu support series
The 28xx series have two extra MB cache (8MB vs 6MB) but performance wise, the Q1 2820 is worse compared to Q4 2760 because frequency is more important for most tasks. By looking at ebay, it looks like all 2630 - 2760 CPUs are currently being sold at the same-ish price (± 5$) and only the 2820/2860 differ by something like 20$ more. From the sensible i7s, I saw that the Q4 revisions (2670, 2760, 2860) are almost the same as their closest higher tier Q1 options (2710/20, 2820, 2920) but for the same price. From the latter, I would automatically exclude the last two Extreme processors due to the higher TDP and ridiculous price to performance ratio. Your only option is to stick with Sandy Bridge. In theory, HM65 can work with Ivy Bridge but only if the OEM adds low-level BIOS support for it so it is not something that you can fix by adding updated CPU microcodes, ME firmware 8 instead of 7, GPU vBIOS, RST OROMs and so on. When it comes to Ivy Bridge, the HM65 chipset works with Sandy Bridge only due to “hardware limitations” according to a 2011 Intel statement.

For the HM65, the compatible options are these: I’m in a very similar situation (HM65 but with i3-2310M) and finally decided to update to a 4/8 i7.
