Eight-year-old aircraft refurbishment - Hero battles three or five years

Last year's upgraded machine, procrastination attack recently recovered photos and share with you. Without him, I would like to say a few words to my friends who are still using old computers: Your machine can actually be upgraded again and fight for another 35 years.

Saying that the Beijing Olympic Games that year, the country is happy. Start the first life, and is currently the only laptop: Lenovo G430. The year was 2999, the configuration is Celeron T1600, 512M memory and 120G hard drive, buy the first day of their own memory to 1G.

It is said that time is the knife to kill pigs. In the past eight years, I have already begun to enter middle age. When I was surfing the Internet and watching movies, I was very fluent in simple applications. Today I still use those scenes, but I have become an exception. The system is still XP, maybe 360 ​​upgrade N versions, perhaps the load pressure of the Internet has turned N times, in short, ordinary or ordinary use, for this old machine has been serving for eight years, it becomes more and more Ordinary.

So I started to talk about its upgrade possibilities:


I check the motherboard chipset to find the motherboard can support the upgraded CPU, up to the Core 2 T9500, which is the flagship of the notebook CPU. On Taobao, despite experiencing such a long time, the price of the T9500 is not very friendly. I found the T9300 to be slightly lower than the T9500, and the price is much more friendly. Both the T9500 and T9300 have the same L2 CACHE, but only a little bit higher in frequency. The T9500 is 2.6G and the T9300 is 2.5G. In fact, the actual application is not perceived, but the price of the two is obviously felt. The CPU is always a good choice of architecture, L2 Cache based on the election of the middle or middle of the frequency is enough, buy the top frequency model, the price will often soar a lot, the price difference and the actual use is not equal, Not worth it.


In addition, I also asked the motherboard chip to support the maximum 4G memory, so at the same time start with two 2G memory to replace the original two 512M memory. I chose Kingston, which is relatively stable in terms of memory choice.

Merchants sent a pile of low-value, but also very useful things like grease, grease pads, screwdrivers, and brushes.

The upgrade of the G430 is very simple. The upper right of the backplane mainly covers the CPU and memory.

Unscrew the back panel of the CPU and memory to see the memory, CPU heatsink and copper tube, cooling fan and the motherboard chip below it.

Remove the cooling fan, leaving the CPU's heat sink and copper tube.

Remove the four CPU heatsink screws, you can remove the CPU heat sink and copper tube, but for many years in service but the T1600 finally exposed the true face.

A close-up, T1600, 1.6G, 1M L2 Cache, completed its mission. Unscrew the silver screw below to remove the CPU. Install the new T9300 later and re-tighten it.

The T9300 is about to enter service (left) and T1600 is about to retire. T9300 has 6M L2 Cache, 2.5G operating frequency, look forward to!

The T9300 is already installed in the G430's motherboard.

Then playing two Kingston 2G memory, memory installation is very simple, just plug in the memory slot.

Power on, boot success!

Core 2 T9300, 4G memory, has made great progress compared to the previous configuration.


But my upgrade has not yet been completed:

Samsung (SAMSUNG) 750 EVO 120G SATA3 Solid State Drive 439 yuan how expensive now so much? ! Jingdong direct link to encyclopedia


Then came the Samsung 120G 750EVO SSD, as well as the optical drive bay.

The Samsung SSD is ready to be loaded into the optical drive bay. The work of this bay is slightly worse. The screws are not very good. I will not name them.

The replaced Celeron T1600 CPU and two 512M memories have witnessed an era.


The newly upgraded configuration is actually nothing compared to the current mainstream ones. At best, it can be used smoothly for "daily ordinary applications." Therefore, it does not toss what tests to run points. can.


The upgrade fee:

T9300: 115

2G memory *2:120

Samsung SSD : 258

Optical drive bay: 38

Total: 531

My Lenovo G430 believes that it will be possible to fight for more than three or five years.
