Overheat and shut down a lot? I hope you plan on a laptop fan or something Wink

Also I hope you made sure you can even remove the old CPU

Can remove it no problem. This lappy was build with the 920xm in mind. it was meant to be able to push it at OC 3.2 (all four cores) Tons of forums out there about how people use the thermal paste and install the new chip and get ~2deg higher than with the stock cooling paste. Asus did a shit job with there paste. so no worries there at all.

Just curious if anyone knows how the i7-920xm OC'ed to ~3.2-3.4 (Each core) on my g73jh will handle.

A) SMG 1/2
B) Donkey kong
C) Last story
D) Sonic colors
E) Xenoblade
F) LoZ : TP
G) Epic Mickey
H) Monster Hunter Tri
I) Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

Just waiting for my new CPU and browsing forums all day trying to FIND the answer instead of asking but i cant really find any. I know that someone on the forums said they played TP all the way with no problems. THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!!!!

Thanks!!!

i7 920xm is slower than i7 2630qm
Benchmark List
So...
A,C : Not a chance (i5 2500k 4.4Ghz)
B : Playable , not full speed
D,E,I : Full speed
H : Don't know
F : Full speed with "EFB copy to texture" . Not full speed with "EFB copy to Ram"

Those are all stock core clock speeds.

this is standard after overclocking

So 5443

Anyone have thoughts on how it will run while overclocked?

Hot, as it isn't in a desktop.
