Hello everyone! Im thinking of upgrading my CPU, but I'm not quite sure if the CPU I want will work in my PC. In msinfo32 it says that the model of my motherboard is 1495 (BaseBoard Product 1495) and I'm on bios version 2.7 (SMBIOS Version 2.7). Will I be able to use an i7 3770 CPU in my system? I've been looking for an answer for some time but I couldn't find one

Hi:
Your PC has an Intel Q67 chipset which only supports the Intel 2nd generation core processors.
HP offered processors up to the i7-2600 in the 8200 Elite model series.
If you want to go outside of the specs with a non-standard installation, this user benchmarking site has reports of over 3,200 users with the processors they indicate work in the 8200 Elite SFF, such as the i7-2600K

The only thing is I don't know how many watts your PC's heat sink is rated for.
The processors HP offered in the model series are 65W and a processor such as the i7-2600K is 95W.
