Re: [coreboot] t420 CPU Upgrade

[arian]

Hi chub,

I have a 3740qm in mine, runs fine with the minor constraint that it isn't completely full-load-stable - apparently something decides to shutdown the machine at 100°C core temp before the cpu reduces boost from 3.5 GHz - happens to me in the third run of a kernel build with make -j8.

regards, arian
