3 Things to Know About Upgrading the M710q CPU

  1. Only 6th and 7th gen Intel CPUs fit The LGA 1151 socket is limited to these two generations, so newer chips won’t work.

  2. Stick to 35W TDP processors The mini chassis can’t handle higher power parts. Desktop CPUs with higher TDPs will overheat or cause instability.

  3. Don’t expect a performance monster You’re confined to low-power, dual-core or low-end quad-core options. This is a modest upgrade path, not a gaming rig.
