Acer E2-521 Questions

Hello.
I've searched endlessly this evening for a definitive answer for my question, to no avail. I have an E2-521 with a 1.5ghz quad core E2-6110 CPU with R2 graphics. I can't find a service manual for it, the closest thing I discovered is an E1-521 manual. I would like to swap out my CPU for one with a bit more juice as I currently can't afford a new PC and even a 2.0ghz processor would make Counter-strike run much better. In the E1-521 manual, it shows a screwdriver and care will get the CPU out and it isn't soldered in. I don't know if mine is soldered in and I do not want to take it apart.
So I guess for my model is it possible to remove the CPU and replace it with a better one? Also, I would just try overclocking it but I can't.
Thanks!

Hello,
I think you made a mistake. Is it an Aspire E5-521?
Could you give me the first ten characters of the computer serial number (S/N)? Only the first ten.

Yes, it's an Aspire E5... Too many hours looking at Google. When I searched I looked for E5-521, though.0

It's not possible since the processor is directly soldered on the motherboard.

I figured as much. In that case, is it possible to just buy a new motherboard and compatible CPU with it? And if I can, I'm assuming I'd need to buy a new GPU as well?0

Hello,
Hmmm that's no interests. All motherboards of the Aspire E5-521 series have a CPU/APU soldered. FYI, I give you the list:
SpoilerNB.MLF11.002 MAIN BD.W/CPU.E2-6110.UMA (yours) NB.MLF11.003 MAIN BD.W/CPU.A4-6210.UMA NB.MLF11.004 MAIN BD.W/CPU.A6-6310.UMA NB.MLF11.005 MAIN BD.UMA.A8-6410 And if you use Windows pre-installed, you'll have to buy Windows full version.
