Introduction
If your Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Gen 1 Extreme (model number 20MF-000LUS) is having trouble processing information or maybe the computer is getting old and you want to upgrade its processing power, use this guide to replace the CPU.

Before replacing the CPU see the [[Lenovo X1 Extreme Troubleshooting|troubleshooting page]] for the Lenovo ThinkPad Gen 1 Extreme to see if the problem is fixable without purchasing and installing another CPU.
Please be sure to disconnect the computer from any power and turn the computer completely off. It is also important to be careful when removing the CPU; any damage can easily make the computer not functional.
