Hi there!
I am having issues understanding the possibility to change processor on my laptop.
My laptop is MSI GE60 2OC-014NE 15,6".
The Processor I am currently using is CPU Intel Core i7 4:e gen. 4700MQ
(Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz)
I would like to get atleast to 2.8 ghz or perhaps more, if possible.
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance!

Says the max turbo frequency is 3.4 which is pretty good. The socket is FCPGA946 so anything with that socket will be good to go. But honestly it's a pretty good processor. upgrade RAM maybe. Do you have 8gb? if not you need 8gb is it 1333mhz or 1600mhz? you want 1600mhz. If you are feeling risky then try some light overclocking, do go too much though cause laptops have trouble staying cool.

happy gaming my friend.
