Hi,

 

Yes the processor is compatible with your PC as you can see on page 74 of service manual.

 

It will not create any overheating problems as long as you use quality thermal paste such as Arctic mx4 or similar and make sure the fan is in good condition. Actually it will probably run cooler than before with quality thermal material.
