Ok, so I have an Asus vivobook S550cb with a intel i5 3317u cpu clocked at 1.7ghz with turbo upto 2.6ghz and a TDP of 17.
After using the laptop for a quite sometime I've come to the conclusion that I'd need to upgrade my cpu I'm thinking of going for a intel i7 3840qm or the 3820qm which are both 45 TDP/watt cpu's.
However here's my problem; before I can upgrade I need to know my motherboard model/id so I don't get a cpu with a higher TDP which could fry my system; but the problem is; I cannot for the love of god, find this damned motherboard anywhere on the Internet. I've even contacted Asus themselves and the employee who I spoke to said they had no clue and couldn't help, so now I'm turning to the good people of toms hardware to help me out.
Sorry for the lack of punctuation im typing on a phone and it can get pretty frustrating switching between symbols and letters every time I need to put a comma in.
