Anyone using this with a Laptop CPU? I have a 3920XM in a MSI Barebone 17616 (GT70). Thanks

I used on it on my HP Envy 4 Ultrabook after it began generating a lot more heat than it used to when I first purchased it. My original paste was really dry even though it was only a year and a half old. After applying the new thermal paste my laptop is running cooler than when I first bought it.

Yes, In my experience it has been great for any CPU or GPU when applied properly.

I am using it on my Gateway FX gaming laptop CPU (Intel T9300). It works great.

yo, i used it on a core i7 laptop and it works great. cpu temps dropped a great deal, it does what is says.

Yes, that (Intel Core i7-3770K is exactly what I used. For me, now I use it to launch Virtual Machines both Oracle VirtualBox and VMWare and I have no problem at all. It is actually extremely fast and reliable even without overclocking at all - the motherboard can do it easily. I was able to overclock to 4.2 GHz without special cooling fan and running very stable. - R.

Where did you hear that? All you will need to do is set the RAM profile to XMP in the BIOS immediately upon first boot, and you should be fine. The motherboard supports 2400 when properly OC'd, which is what XMP will do. Go for it!

This is a cpu for a desktop computer not a laptop.... And usually the laptop processors are not replaceable or are really hard to replace.

Yeah, it handles it pretty well. I'm running an FX 8320 at 4.55GHz rock solid. I could go higher, but my Hyper 212 Evo can't handle the heat. As for GPU OCing, that's gonna depend on the GPU, and how much juice your power supply can get to it.

Yes! I currently am running a Phenom II X4 980 CPU w/16GB RAM, 6770 Video & SSD. My best build so far. I'm not a heavy gamer but, it has not let me down in any way. Love it.

I would avoid this MB. It has serious video chip failures. If you are intent on replacing the AMD cpu, I have one.

I had that CPU before I tried this chip in it and ended up changing the motherboard all together. I found out that the system was not as fast as I liked. Anyway I looked up the specs on this site http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document

I have no experience with that cpu. I'm running the intel 4770 k at 4.2 ghz I have it looped through an asus maximus iv formula mobo so it's pushing twice the route that it is designed for. benchmark is 984 at 86 degress Celsius. I think the only better option is the koolance stand alone unit but it's pricey

Hi, that CPU worked with that main PCB. So far all of my system work well. ThanksTung

Sorry to disappoint you Tracy L. The processor you want is in the FM2 grouping that is not compatible with the AM3+ socket. My best suggestion for you is to look into the FX series for the latest CPUs that work with AM3+ sockets. I do not know what your needs are, meaning business or gaming. I am a gamer and just use a 3.1 dual core CPU. Not much a CPU but it is Radeon graphics enhanced and matched to a 6670 HD video card. I can enjoy games such as Skyrim with no frame-rate fluctuations. Perhaps I could suggest something for you if you would give me more information about your needs and your PC. Thank you for asking me and I am at your service if needed.

I use it for this exact purpose as well. I paired it w a 4130 i3 proc which has a gpu on the proc. Killed two birds w one stone!

My last self-built PC was for running that Windows 3.1 so please let me ask this stupid question: for $20 more to get 10+% clock speed does it make any big different? Would this 03G-P4-2883-KR generates more heat (and fan noise) than 03G-P4-2881-KR? I am shopping this for my teen son's xmas surprise first power game PC, so please help. Any recommendations for the ultimate matching motherboad/CPU pair up? Thanks guys!

I used it in my desktop or more accurately, a Media center. Due to it's low voltage, this CPU is ideal for a long hours operated computer. Very happy with the final result.

1amp or 1000 Ma is too weak with no headroom. What's your purpose? Is it a single! VxI=P

Just is only reference, but you can use memory with 3000mhz OC the motherboard with the XMP has the memorys, i did bought it and my score for that motherboard is so good, some many peoples talk about problems with it, but is becouse it has an outdated Bios version, if you want buy it i recommend 100%, but the first steps that you must follow is update the bios before the install your O.S

Often the 4th core is not actually damaged, it just doesn't perform quite up to standard during testing. There are ways to enable the extra cores on their desktop cpus, so I am sure the same can be done on the laptop, but I don't know the actual procedure.
