Hi everyone, i just won a aspire v3 571g in a local online auction, and it has a i5 3210m. I am thinking about upgrading it to i7 3740qm because of the power. I have seen multiple users on userbenchmark with their v3 running i7 3740qm, but nobody on the internet is physically saying that it works with the cpu, and i dont see even refurbished pcs selling with that cpu. On online forums, i see everyone talking about the i7 3720qm as the max upgrade option. But why? They have both same socket, tdp, chipset and basically they are the same but one has 100Mhz more. Can someone say that he has this cpu and it works? Thanks in advance, pardon my english.
