For the most part, (95%), you CAN NOT, put a desktop cpu in to a Laptop, because of the same reasons listed above, but in reverse. The desktop cpu will need more power than the laptop can put out, and even if it could it would overheat in seconds, frying the both of them, poof your out 200 bucks. Don’t do it. Thanks

Hi,

I was wondering if you can do the exact opposite– put a desktop processor in a laptop. I was wondering is the socket type is both AM2, then couldn’t a Phenom X3 fit into the laptop socket that originally has an Athlon 62 X2?

Good day to all

What if i, instead of installing a mobile proc in a desktop, install a desktop proc in a laptop with same socket like pentium 4 478, will it works? will i get same cpu freq?

This is a great peace of information.My question is if get a mobile cpu and use it in my desktop do i have to make any changes in the bios or board? or can i just simply plug it in and play? I have a athlon 64 3000+ and can get a mobile 4000+ cpu for a great deal.
