"will it even run on this motherboard? "

 

No.  That is not a viable upgrade even though they are both Skylake family processors.

With that said, as inexpensive as the XEON Xeon E5 -1245 v5 processor is it is worth trying. Over here in the US you can source one for @ $25.00.

 

The compatible processors are: Source (Maintenance & Service guide illustrated parts catalog)
