Solution Rogue Leader Aug 2, 2018 evilister13 : I'm going to upgrade from i3 4130T for lighter gaming and casual use .Are they compatible? No its a completely different socket. The ONLY CPU upgrade you can get for that system is the i5-4570T. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04323331 Thats the only better processor that it was available with, and you are limited by the hardware and BIOS to what HP sold it with.
