Anyone know is it possible to upgrade I5 cpu to I7 cpu for A53SV? I want to upgrade my CPU to I7 because on retail spec on ASUS website, there is i7 version of A53SV. So the question is :
1. Is it possible?
2. Is it worth it?
3. Will it void warranty?
4. If i send it to ASUS centre to change it is the warranty still valid.
5. Where i can get the I7 CPU?
6. How much?
1. It's possible, just a lot of work
2. Nope, totally not worth it. Individual mobile CPUs are normally very expensive.
3. If you do it by yourself, you'll be opening up the case and you may void the warranty. Also, high chance of damaging something unknowingly.
4. If they bother to help you, then yes the warranty is valid. Best to email them if you want them to help.
5. Online sellers who have stock on mobile CPUs
6. Depending on the seller.
