Will a i7-3940XM work on a t420? Will it melt itself when I try to compile something? Should I buy one and try it anyway?
@pleb I want to coreboot my t420 and upgrade de cpu but I have not seen anyone trying the i7-extreme so thats why im in doubt.
I will try anyways and hope that underclocking + this heatsink mod will be enough to not melt my gentoo machine (and hope that boots too).
