Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Is it possible to upgrade Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H with an Intel Core i9-13980HX?

I'm not entirely clear on your question, as the laptop is already equipped with that processor.
Maybe you could provide more details about what you're asking?
Hi, Lutfij, thank you.
This model comes with an i9 13900HX, possibly a faster CPU could be better in the future. Both have the same socket, V, LGA1700, but I’m not sure if it would fit the motherboard or if these chips are removable or built-in.
I already have a lot of graphical tasks and medical visualizations, so I currently have 96GB RAM at 5200MHz and two 4TB SSDs. If I had considered these specs earlier, I might have thought it wouldn’t work here. However, after checking what motherboards support, I’m willing to try. Some sources suggest I could upgrade to an i9 13980HX instead, but I still need more details from experienced hardware people.
I wonder if the 14th generation i9 is really possible with this laptop?
Thank you for your time!
