Good day!!!
I own a HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF with an Intel core i5 3470. I'm on a budget and I have the opportunity to upgrade the CPU to a Core i7 3770.
Is the current HSF (heatsink and fan) compatible with the Core i7 3770?
I've seen that there's a "round" shaped heatsink compatible with both cpu's, but mine is the "square" shaped version.
I've also read this post but my question is "inverse":

Thanks in advance
