Hi Guys,
After almost 3 years of using the G53 time has come to disassemble, clean and repaste and I thought that maybe I should also upgrade the CPU. As currently I have i5-2410M on board my choice went to i7-2630QM but I would like to ask you for the advice if it is worth to change it and moreover is it going to fit the motherboard that I'm using?
I did some digging and I'm a little bit confused as the Intel's webpage shows that these two CPU are using different sockets
but
www.cpu-world.com says something completely different.

Please let me know if I should provide any additional details.
I would be really grateful for your help.
