I want to change a processor in my laptop. I suck at knowing about electronics, but I've done research and I've found out that my laptop can get it's processor changed. My laptop has 13 years, It's a samsung laptop, the model is NP310E5C-A01PL. Currently it has it's original processor which is Intel Core i3 3110M, 2.40GHZ. I want to change it to Intel Core i5 2450M 2x2.5GHZ. They have the same socket which is 988B rPGA. I updated my bios it's P0RAP, but I can't find anywhere if it's compatible. I wanted to be sure so I contacted samsung support, but the guy said that he does not have any information about cpu and I should ask intel. The intel support is unavaiable for now, so I asked the intel community, but still no straight forward answer. So I ended up here. Also if yall have any recommendations for other cpu's that will work, but are better (and cheap), then feel free to tell me! Tysm for help. Embarassed

Usually you can run sandy bridge parts in ivy bridge laptops.

It shouldn't cause any damage to the system if the CPU is unsupported in this case.
