Hello to all,
I would like to upgrade the CPU of my pc which currently has a Pentium G6600. Would the motherboard support an i3-10100f or an i5-10400f? Will the pc work with a Quadro P620?
Full specifications:
G6600 (4.2GHz Dual-Core)
12Gb 2133MHz
Quadro P620
M.2 NVMe WD SN550 1TB
Crucial BX500 1TB + Toshiba HDWL110 1TB
180W PSU
Have a nice day

The motherboard does not have a socketed processor which would lend itself to being upgradeable.
The processor is selected when customized pre-purchase
Each processor is integrated (soldered) onto a systemboard along with the appropriate chipset.

Here is the spec page for HP ProDesk 400 G7 Microtower
https://support.hp.com/th-en/document/c06918483
You can see the supported CPU's in the listing. I do not see the ones you asked about but there are numerous CPU's to choose from.
It would seem that the Quadro P620 should work, but I have not seen that configuration. I did see where some HP PC's BIOS did not get along with the Quadro P620. If you have to have that GPU, perhaps try it. And then report back with success or non-success for other users.

According to the info on this site
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Intel-Core-i5-10400F/Rating/4079
The i5-10400f will require a new LGA1200 motherboard, since the chipset that supports the i5-10400 does not support the i5-10400f

Thanks for the correction. That was not what I found in my research yesterday. My usual keyword proficiency failed me this time.

According to the comparison the Intel Pentium Gold G6600 uses 58w while the Intel Core i5-10400 uses 65w.
If there are no other additional items from original configuration, that small amount should not matter.
