I9-10900KF (125W) To Replace I7-10700(65W) on Motherboard 0KV3RP
XPS 8940
I am investigating whether I can upgrade my 8940 currently with an I7-10700 (65w) Comet Lake (LGA1200) with a I9-10900KF (125W) on the Dell motherboard (0KV3RP). My system has the upgraded Dell CPU Cooler G5 5090 5000 Optiplex CPU Cooler Fan With Heatsink VWD01 (which Dell advertised but didn't sell with the 8940 opting instead to ship with the standard pancake heatsink) and a 500 W rated power supply. I have the DELL GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER which has a TDP of 175 W.
I believe I have the boxes ticked off for power (I would like more but unclear if I can upgrade that in the 8940) and advanced heatsink for the CPU, but I am concerned whether the motherboard (0KV3RP) Chipset and Bios (2.22.0) can work with the higher base wattage CPU?
Is it possible to drop in the I9-10900KF 125 chip into the 8940?
