Hi, John:

The subject of your post indicates 800 G3 DM and the body of your post indicates 400 G3 DM.

The best processor you can install in the 800 G3 DM 35W is the i7-7700t.

See the HP specs for the model series at the link below:

HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Desktop Mini Business PC (35 W/65 W) Specifications | HP® Customer Support

The same would go for the Prodesk 400 DM

No Intel 8th or 9th gen core processors are supported in either model.

Thx for your answer 

Has it to do with the chipset 

kind regards John

You're very welcome, John.

Yes, the chipset doesn't support newer processors.

Here are the Intel specs for the Prodesk 400 G3 DM H270 chipset.

As you can see from the specs, only the Intel 6th and 7th generation core processors are supported.
