Upgrade Inspiron 23 5348 CPU from i3-4150 to i7-4790K?
Inspiron 5348
I've got a client's Inspiron 23 5348 AIO, and I'm going to upgrade the hard drive to an SSD. Since I'll have the machine open anyway, I was looking into processor upgrades. It has a 0XHYJF motherboard in it with an i3-4150 processor in it. I was considering upgrading the processor, but I was concerned that the power supply might be underpowered - I think the machine comes with a 185W power supply. This leads me to my question:
What is the maximum processor this motherboard will support while running the A13 BIOS with the default 185W power supply?
The machine currently has A01 so I'll need to attempt updating the BIOS. I'm considering the i7-4790K processor but am concerned that either the power supply is insufficient, or that the processor is not supported on A13. Any input would be helpful!

The AIO uses laptop style cpu heatsink which may not be adequate to cool 4790k with 88w tdp compared to 54w tdp of i3.
the 185w power supply is ok.

the 88w TDP is the base power consumption of 4790k. this is before any OC and you can not OC it anyway on the Dell bios. the best validated processor for this model is the Dell validated one i7-4790S

@redxps630 Thanks. Has anyone been successful trying this? If not, what is the best processor to recommend for the best performance given the system's unique logistical constraints? Could I underclock the 4790K to reduce the heat?

Since the TDP is similar, I'll grab the i7-4790S then instead of the K. Thanks! I don't want to risk my client having problems if the machine "smokes" at some point as CD Calkins suggests.

lol no it would probably not smoke but the cpu fan might crank up rpm more often than you like to hear as it attempts to cool a hot chip. A new thermal paste is certainly needed when you swap cpu.
In my experience when the cpu is not adequately cooled in a laptop style pc, the motherboard would go haywire and may trigger a thermal shutdown. It should have some internal protection mechanism to stop cpu from burning temp.

Two users had actually done i7-4790k in this pc
