 incase anything was to go **bleep** up i dont want to be left thinking i should have checked first so can someone please reassure me that upgrading the 1.4ghz I3-2365. cpu on a "Aspire V5-571" to a 2.5ghz I5-3210m would be a smart move considering i already have the I5 and no use for it ?

 

A simple yes or no is what im after here so please spare me the voiding my warrentry ***** i dont care for that i just like to mess with stuff =P

    No.

     

    i3-2365 uses socket FCBGA1023 (Ball Grid Array - not a socket at all).

     

    i5-3210 uses socket FCPGA988 (Pin Grid Array socket).
