[Solved] What AMD mobile CPU's can I put in my Gateway MT6451 Notebook?

Even if you upgrade the CPU on that notebook you wont see a significant increase in speed due to AMD has weak mobile chips in their lineup.....

Yes, Sir.... have you taken the CPU out and check to see if it has the correct amount of thermal paste? Have you checked the CPU cooler making sure it is spinning at the correct RPM's? Sometimes your hardware can shift or move from its original state and that can cause some issues....Check that out first before you buy anything....

Yea that's way to hot......

Here is a list of AMD mobile chips....

Don't really know what you can upgrade too since the specs don't say what CPU you are running at the moment..

You could use the TL-60 if you want but it wont be as fast as the TL-68. If you don't need speed and you are looking for a low power chip then yea the TL-60 should suite you better....

I would look into the RAM as well, if you are still using the 2GB(pre-installed) you might want to upgrade to this :

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300)

You should see a jump in performance from 1.6Ghz to 2.0 but I would wait and save up for the TL-68...Unless you decide to sell you notebook and get something with a core2duo.....

Yea, IMO that would be a better move..... As far as notebooks go, Intel has the lead in the speed dept.

Have you checked the cpu fan? Make sure it's at full speed @ load. If you can down load speedfan, try maxing out the RPM's meaning make sure its at 100% all the time.. That should keep the temps lower.....

You should see the fan info on the 4th tab... It should show the RPM's......

The only other option you have is everest ultimate, it should give you real-time cpu temps.....

go to CPU info and you should see the fan speed control tab, if not then that means that your mobo is not letting you change any values whatsoever.... and that basically means you cannot do anything but monitor your temps.....

Yea it looks like your motherboard has locked some features from both programs....

ATM I would not know what else would help.... These are the common issues with locked motherboards.....Have you looked in your bios?

Yep, cause its a Gateway..... You really can't do anything to it......

My advice is to either try and sell that laptop due to the fact that it is too expensive to upgrade... Most laptops are..... If you can sell it and get some cash you might be able to updrade to something faster.... In my opinion you should only do this if your laptop is not up to par with your standards. I use a dell xps 1530 and even though it was expensive I can at least upgrade the cpu, gpu and ram just in case it is needed... Gateway makes good laptops but the issue you have has to do with your Turion CPU..... It is too expensive to buy a faster Turion when the end-result wont be earth-shattering....Like I said you might see a performance increase but not something that will be worth spending money on.......

My advice is save, save as much as you can and get a notebook that is upgadeable.....

Here is a list of laptops in all price-ranges, try to get an Intel based laptop that fits your needs... I am an AMD superfan but when it comes to mobile cpu's AMD falls short...
