Hi,
I have an existing Defiance 17'' laptop i got from pcspecialist in 2016. It's been great, but recently some of my bigger CAD files and point clouds are starting to struggle and cpu seems to be the bottleneck.
I currently have a Mobile Intel® HM170 Express Chipset motherboard and an intel i7-6700hq 2.6ghz processor along with 64GB RAM and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970M
I would like to upgrade my processor, but unsure about what will fit my motherboard. Changing the motherboard is also an option, but I'd rather keep that as is for now. If my only option is to change the motherboard, I'll struggle on for a bit before commiting to that.
Lets suppose Intel Core i7-9750H @ 2.60GHz is the one I'm going for. The sockets are both FCBGA1440, so thats good, anything else? I'm not up to date with the latest in CPU world so any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Tom
