Dell Latitude E6400 Anonymous 2016-07-30 05:42:24 Post No. 55827415 [Report]

So I've got a Dell Latitude E6400 that has a Core2 Duo T9600 running at 2.8GHz with 4GB of RAM, but I'd like to put a better CPU in it.

Is it compatible with any of the Core2 Quad or Core2 Extreme CPUs? It uses Socket P (PGA478) and Intel lists three quad core CPUs:
Core2 Quad 9000
Core2 Quad 9100
Core2 Extreme 9300

I'd like to get the Core2 Extreme 9300, but I'm not sure the system actually supports it. A question similar to this appeared on the Dell website but never game any actual answer, as all given was a list of replacement parts.

I plan on completely maxing this laptop, what with 8GB of RAM and an SSD, the whole nine yards.

Suggestions? I'm using the laptop right now, so I can give any info needed.

T9600 is 35W
QX9300 is 45W
I think it would work thats not much difference.

I'm actually wondering if the BIOS is capable of doing this.

I've got an older laptop (Inspiron 5160) that had a Pentium 4 2.8GHz with Hyperthreading, and it didn't take too well to having a 3GHz CPU installed (POST errors).

How would the extra 45W affect battery life? Currently lasts about 3 or 4 hours on a full charge, not sure how this would change that.

Also wondering how this could effect cooling, this CPU gets very hot as is.

Thank you!

As it appears, the T9900 is the best performance CPU I can get, will it effect battery life or thermals much?

Dont put a Core 2 Quad in there, its gonna burn your nuts off. You will get poor battery life

Doesn't seem as if I can even put one in.

I plan on using it mostly on the charger and on desks.

Probably not far from the truth. Got an M4400 (E6400's 15.4" big brother) with a T9400 in it and that thing gets toasty if you do anything that needs any amount of CPU power, even after a good cleaning and repasting. A C2Q would get downright nuclear
