Hi,

 

Yes you can upgrade to this processor without any problems.

 

Remember to replace thermal paste between processor and heatsink after cleaning the old thermal material. Use quality thermal paste (silver kind) and only apply little (grain of rice)

 

You can follow steps on page 72 of service manual:
