How does the stock cooler manage to cool this processor? Have you tried a load test? The cooler is designed for TDP35W, but this processor has a TDP of 51W, so I wonder if it gets too hot. Thank you.
For everyone, I tested this on an M710Q, it has a G4400t as standard, I installed a 51 W i3 6100 and it works well, the maximum temperatures without thermal paste reached 75 degrees at 100%, I will be testing A 65W i5 7500 when the package arrives
@@donzhu4996 I found a cheap i7-6700T and used that instead. Its approx.. 50% more powerful than a i5 6500. I use it for emulation. Can play basic 2d ps3 and switch games too.
@@ll_spud How is the heat? I have an i7 6700 (not the T-version) that I want to put in it. Does yours manage it without the fans on full blast all the time?
@@BinaryBlueBull I ended up finding a i7-6700T so put that in instead. It runs pretty quiet most of the time. Maybe cut a vent hole if u use the non-T version to help cool things down.
That would be Core i7-6700t (4 cores, 8 threads), but it's quite expensive. Core i5-6500t (4 cores, 4 threads) is slower, but cheaper, so i'ts worth considering. (i3-6100T is a cpu with 2 cores and 4 threads)
NO! Ignore the above comment. That's not M.2 NVMe, it's M.2 SATA. NVMe will not work, different interface, same connector. NVMe is PCI-E while SATA is not. They are not compatible. Good news is that M.2 SATA drives are cheaper than M.2 NVMe, though bad news is that it's much slower, though still quite fast compared to traditional HDD's. Do not buy NVMe, it will not work. They should never have made the connector shared between the two. Search google for "Lenovo m700 tiny specs" and download the PDF from Lenovo, you will see it's M.2 SATA in that PDF

@@knigthwhite0028 Yes, that is possible! I have replaced it with an Intel Core i7-6700 and it works quite well and is noticeably faster than with the stock CPU. I run VMware on it. However, do of course note that a faster CPU means more heat and with the i7-6700 specifically, the m700 cooling fan will be blowing at full speed as soon as the CPU is under any load at all. You will clearly hear this fan spin all the time, so do not upgrade to this CPU if the constant sound of the fan spinning is a problem for you. You might also get some thermal throttling, though it will still be noticeably faster than with the stock CPU and for VMware specifically, more cores is always good. I have researched it and from what I could gather, the Intel Core i7-6700 is about is far as you should upgrade the M700 tiny. If you go for an even faster CPU, the power draw will become too large to handle or the cooling system will not be able to cope. Whatever CPU you order, research thoroughly that it's the right socket, CPU generation, power draw,.... The only CPU's that I can 100% confirm to work well on the M700 tiny are the stock CPU and the Intel Core i7-6700. I can't remember if I had to update the BIOS but I don't think that it was necessary. In any case, before you swap the CPU's, do make sure the M700 is updated to the latest BIOS version you can find on the Lenovo M700 support page. Also, make sure you use the highest quality thermal paste you can get, because the system will generate a lot more heat than it was designed for. I advise you to use one of the following: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Arctic MX-6 or Noctua NT-H2 / NT-H1. Arctic MX-6 is my favourite but the Thermal Grizzly paste is almost equal to it. Noctua is a bit cheaper but still very, very good. If you're feeling adventurous, you could also use a 3M PTM7950 thermal pad, which will perform better than any thermal paste on the market by a significant margin but which is harder to install properly and there are also a lot of fakes on the market. The real PTM7950 is absolutely amazing for tiny PC's though, the effect is incredible. Linus Tech Tips sells the real PTM7950 on their website, so you could buy it there If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them here, I will gladly help you out
@@knigthwhite0028 Yes possible. But only 6th gen processors. It is not natively compatible with 7th gen processors. For 7th gen you have to mod the BIOS. One more thing, ideally you must use T processors with TDP of 35W. If you want to use non-T processors with TDP of 65W, you must use Lenovo 90W power supply. Hope this helps.

Thank you.
Probably have to run the fan at the full on setting. An I-7 barely squeeks by in my M93P's

Supposedly my motherboard is 7 gen but it came with a 6 gen Celeron
I have the m700 model, it has a core i3, is it possible to place the i5 or i7 processor?
Can we upgrade i5 8th gen in this pc?
i wanna get the "thinkcentre tiny in one m710q i3 6th" if I can upgrade the CPU to i5 7gen ...
is it possible ?
Looks like it's also possible to upgrade to Xeon E-2176M CPU, but probably will need custom bios.
i have question! The m700 model has a core i3, is it possible to place the i5 or i7 processor?
Jes
@@Dz.AXproject Mine i a tiny of 2015 with a celeron g3900T: possible to upgrade to an i5 or i7 ? Thanks for answering
Yes this mini pc capable for i5 6th generation and i7 6th generation proccecor
Does it overheat? Thinking of putting a i5 6500 in mine. Thanks
I want to do it as well

Good evening !! Do you know, by ant chance, which is the best CPU I can upgrade to?
i7 6700
can the processor be upgraded to at least 8th generation or newer? preferably 10th, 11th or 12th. if so, will i7-xxxx would be best?
may have answered my own question. will the Intel® Core™ i7-8700T Processor work without any issues?
@@user-bad_hairmaybe is 35w tdp
@@NoName-hw4xq You have to mod the bios, the i3 -8100T is working after modding the bios with the microcode for the processor
