Welcome to our HP Community forum!
Yes, your PC is compatible with ALL Intel Core 8th and 9th-gen processors, including all "F" processors, and even all "KF" processors, such as the i7-9700KF -which I would recommend as providing the best performance-bang for your buck.

Unless you stress an i7-9700K/F to the max, you should be fine. Since your PC doesn't allow overclocking, overheating is only a remote possibility. Then there is always the option to upgrade your CPU heatsink.
