upgrading core i3 350m to i5 540m :?

1,968 Views

Hi guys,

I have a laptop acer aspire 7741G which has core i3 350m. I am now considering upgrading it to i5 540m but I am afraid it may overheat :? I see that the same configuration as mine is offered with i5 480m processor so I suppose the hardware (fan, sink etc) that the laptop has should be good enough to support i5 540m :? Does anybody has any experience upgrading similar processor as mine ? Do you think the laptop would overheat with i5 540m ?

Thanks
