Product: OMEN 25L Desktop GT12-0xxx

I am looking to upgrade my PC's processor from the i7-10700 to an i9-11900K. After researching online, I am having trouble determining its compatibility with my motherboard. My PC has the dorado 8704 motherboard with the Intel LGA1200 socket. The i9-11900K I have is for an LGA1200 socket. After digging deeper into confirming compatibility before I installed it, the product specifications page I found at HP.com says the i9 upgrade option is the i9-10900. Do I need to purchase that instead? I also have seen i9-10900K models. I am newer to the PC gaming world and doing personal upgrades. I have done well so far with the upgrades I've made and finding compatible parts, but this one has thrown me a little. Just want to make sure it is compatible before getting into the weeds of installation for it not to work once I boot it up. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you all!

hi

here

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-desktop-pc-25l-gt12-0000i/33492320/document/ish_4905334-40...

Processor upgrade information

  • TDP: Up to 65 W

  • Socket type: LGA 1200

  • Dorado motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

ProcessorTDP

Intel Core i5-10400 (Comet Lake-S) 2.9 GHz base frequency, up to 4.3 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 12 MB cache, 6 cores

65 W

Intel Core i5-10400F (Comet Lake-S) 2.9 GHz base frequency, up to 4.3 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 12 MB cache, 6 cores

65 W

Intel Core i7-10700 (Comet Lake-S) 2.9 GHz base frequency, up to 4.7 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 16 MB cache, 8 cores

65 W

Intel Core i7-10700F (Comet Lake-S) 2.9 GHz base frequency, up to 4.7 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 16 MB cache, 8 cores

65 W

Intel Core i9-10900 (Comet Lake-S) 2.8 GHz base frequency, up to 5.2 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 20 MB cache, 10 cores

65 W

Intel Core i9-10900F (Comet Lake-S) 2.8 GHz base frequency, up to 5.2 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 20 MB cache, 10 cores

65 W

this, is what is validated compatible by HP
no further information from hp regarding other processors
in some cases, if the processor is supposed to be compatible, it may work

now k version

TDP 125 W

 

even if it will work, you risk overheating problems, the k version being the unlocked version, is not the best option since you do not have the OC motherboard *

 DoradoOC motherboard specifications

now it's up to you, but the compatible version should be enough!

I figured that was the case after researching more and finding that page also. I just wanted to confirm to make sure. Thank you!

 

I am having an internal debate now as to whether upgrading from the i7-10700 to the i9-10900 is worth $450 lol

The OMEN 25L GT12-0124 desktop computer comes with several CPU processor options, including the Intel Core i5-11400F, Intel Core i7-11700F, and AMD Ryzen 7 5800.

If you want to upgrade your CPU processor, you'll need to make sure that the new processor is compatible with your motherboard. The OMEN 25L GT12-0124 uses the LGA1200 socket for Intel processors and the AM4 socket for AMD processors.
