Anyone here use an X230 with the quad-core mod? I’m looking into it and was wondering about the reliability and battery life compared to the stock i5-3320M.

X230 got CPU mod??
@pastermil X230 had it for a long time. But you have to do a BGA rework, 'cause CPU is not socketed like on T-series of that era.
@monovergent
I mean… I’m aware it’s possible in theory. Just never thought somebody actually doing BGA rework for laptop upgrade.
They sell finished motherboards with the upgrade on eBay and Aliexpress. Nothing newer than Ivy Bridge though.
