Compatibility

Information on Core i7-4720HQ and Core

i5-7300HQ compatibility with other
computer components: motherboard (look
for socket type), power supply unit (look
for power consumption) etc. Useful when
planning a future computer configuration
or upgrading an existing one. Note that
power consumption of some processors
can well exceed their nominal TDP, even
without overclocking. Some can even
double their declared thermals given that
the motherboard allows to tune the CPU
power parameters.
