Upgrade iMac 5K Mid 2015 CPU
I have an iMac 5K Mid 2015 which now mounts an Intel i5. Since I’m going to upgrade it with an SSD, I’m wondering whether I could upgrade the CPU too.
According to the iMac spec sheet the CPU is “mounted on a LGA 1150 socket and can be physically upgraded with a compatible processor with a maximum TDP of 88 W or less”.
I found that Intel i7-4790 and i7-4790K are both compatible with the 1150 socket and have a TDP of 84W, the former, and 88W, the latter.
I read some threads online and It’s not clear to me if the CPU is soldered to the motherboard or not, hence making the upgrade impossible.
Anyone has opened down this specific iMac and tried the upgrade?
Esta é uma boa pergunta?
