HP ProDesk 400 G5 SFF

Is it possible to change the processor of the HP Prodesk 400 G5 SFF?
I need to use more resource capacity for music production, and I currently have an Intel Core i3 8th Gen configuration. Is there anyone who can help me with compatible processors?

Below is the link to the HP Quickspecs for the 400 G5 model series.

The supported processors are listed by form factor starting on page 13.

 

This userbenchmarking website of over 300 400 G5's do not show any reports of configurations running the i9-9700, so I recommend you don't exceed an i7-8700.

 

There are a couple of reports running 9th generation i5 core processors, but I would think the i7-8700 would be better.
