The motheboard's sockets seems to be same in both i7-14700F and i7-12700F - LGA 1700

Hi @scuteron145,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

The HP OMEN 25L GT14-2002n with BIOS version F.22 should be compatible with the Intel Core i7-12700F processor, as long as the BIOS version is up-to-date and supports the LGA 1700 socket, which is used by both the i7-12700F and the i7-14700F.

Here’s a general approach to ensure compatibility:

Check BIOS Version:

• You mentioned that the BIOS version is F.22, which is quite recent. Typically, the latest BIOS versions add support for newer CPUs, so it’s likely that this version supports both the i7-12700F and i7-14700F.

Consult HP’s Documentation:

• Review HP’s official documentation or support page for your specific desktop model (HP OMEN 25L GT14-2002n). They usually have a list of compatible CPUs for each BIOS version.

Update BIOS:

• If you haven’t updated to the latest BIOS, consider doing so before changing processors. This ensures you have the latest support and stability improvements.

Check Motherboard Specifications:

• Verify that your motherboard’s chipset and socket (LGA 1700) are compatible with the i7-12700F. Since both CPUs use the same LGA 1700 socket, this should be fine, but checking compatibility with the specific chipset used in your HP OMEN 25L is a good practice.

CPU Compatibility List:

• Sometimes, motherboard  provide a list of compatible CPUs. If HP provides such a list, check if the i7-12700F is listed as supported.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
