Your Qosmio X775-7380 currently runs an i5-2430M CPU with a PGA988B socket. For upgrades, look for processors that match or exceed this socket type. Check compatibility with the motherboard and ensure the new CPU supports your system’s BIOS version. The listed options should work if they meet the socket requirements. Let me know if you need more details!

I believe compatibility mainly hinges on the 'whitelist' Toshiba set at production. Even then, a CPU might function outside that list, but confirming this reliably usually requires testing various models until you find one that works—something that can be costly. I've swapped CPUs across several laptop brands, but results vary. While it's unlikely to harm your device with an incompatible chip, disassembling a laptop completely is possible and carries risks. Some Dell and Lenovo units have accessible CPUs through opening doors or hatches, though this isn't widespread. I've also encountered cases where you had to dismantle the entire machine just to inspect the chips, which can be quite time-consuming and risky.
