HP Pavilion P7-1410 CPU upgrade (to 3rd gen Intel)

[TheMiataFanatic]

Hi. I'm using an HP Pavilion P7-1410. Due to HP's removal of basic documentation for older devices, I have not been able to figure out compatible CPU upgrades for my desktop. Does anyone here know if my computer is compatible with 3rd generation Intel Core processors? Say, the i7-3770 for example.
