Skaz~SPARTA~ Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I went online to seek an upgrade for my ASUS G53 cpu, which is a i7-2630qm. I googled and got a few results, beeing engineering samples and qualification samples for sale. Does anyone know if those are reliable? I really don't know anything about this. they had a good price tho. Can anyone shed some light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PANiC Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 ES cpus are usually the cream of the crop and usually cracking overclockers, this is not really applicable so much for a laptop thouhgh. you wont get a warantee, but they are usually bought by enthusiasts who do their best to kill em anyway . just make sure the seller guarantees it works!

Donziboy2 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 They could be early flawed samples also.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PANiC Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 what chip are you looking to upgrade to? can't really see it being a whole lot better, that's a pretty smart chip you have already ES cpu would be good if you know about its history and the price is right.
