Upgrading Dell Latitude E6430s
Can someone please tell me how may pins total are for the memory (i.e. 204 or 240).
Also I want to upgrade the cpu to a i7-3740qm and I don't know if the fan & heatsink that came with mine (i5-3320 I think?) can handle it for playing steam, stream movies, and multitask. If you can give me a link for were I can buy the heatsink and fan I would be very happy.
my other plans for the laptop is to upgrade to a 97 cell battery, Samsung evo 2.5" ssd sata III, an opticale drive caddy to add another ssd or hdd, and getting one of those laptop fan coolers or whatever there called.....
laptop specs:
windows 10 pro
4gb ram
250gb hdd
sandy bridge i5 at 2.8ghz or 2.7ghz turbo clock to 3.3ghz or 3.2
ghz when using on steam.

These never shipped with 45W quad CPUs - they're designed for 35W. You can use the i7-3520m, but the quad may not even boot - and if it does -- it likely will overheat. There is no other option for the heatsink-fan assembly.
The memory is DDR3 or DD3L, 204 pin soDIMMs.

Hey there!
E6430s is my fist laptop as well....
I wanted to know if it stops charging when it's 100% and plugged in or trickle charge?
