Keep in mind the TDP of the chip you will be putting in too.

Depends, there are two versions of that CPU, one that is BGA and one that is Socketable, if BGA, shit out of luck, if socketed, then you might just be lucky. I wouldn't bet on an i7, but an i5 would maybe do.

BGA = soldered onto the motherboard

Socketed = comes on a socket and the CPU is completely detachable from the motherboard
