@Tiggersdad,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

Yes, you can: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/65961355.

 

Since the i7-12700KF has a larger TDP (125-watt base TDP up to 190-watt TDP) than the non-K version i7-12700F (65-watt base TDP up to 180-watt TDP) you should also upgrade your heatsink and overall air flow through your case like I did in my HP Pavilion TP01-3xxx upgrade project: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Upgrading-an-HP-Pavilion-TP01-3..., and you also may have to use QuickCPU to throttle the wattage to your i7-12700KF to 150-watt like I had to do in order to avoid your PC from crashing.

 

Kind Regards,
