Dell G5 5000 CPU Upgrade

Question

Hello,

I have Dell G5 5000 Desktop that I purchased couple of years ago. I have following Specs

CPU: i5 10400f

GPU: RTX 3060

PSU: 500W

RAM: 16gb DDR4

Motherboard: Dell OM6C7G, Intel H470 (Comet Lake PCH-H)

Bios Version: 1.18.1

I have also upgraded the CPU fan to K series fan and also added the front 120mm fan and rear 90mm fan.

My question is, is it possible to use 11th Gen i7-11700 or i9-11900 on this PC?

Thanks

there is zero evidence that G5 5000 runs 11700 or 11900 according to user benchmark

There seems to be few Dell's that can run more than one gen.  Typically limited by chipset.  As redxps pointed out, the G5 5000 is limited to 10th gen.

@redxps630​ Sorry I meant to say 11700 or 11900 :) I have updated the post

The differences between 10700 and 11700 was not substantial.   You would get more performance upgrading the cooling.
