New here, and I don't know if my Veriton M498G could handle an intel i7 processor.

    Hi.

     

    Yes you can upgrade your cpu to i7 if its on the same slot, and your psu its strong enough.

     

    Veriton M490 / M490G / M498G Specifications:

     

    Processor1 Intel® Core™ i7 processor
    Intel® Core™ i5 processor
    Intel® Core™ i3 processor

    I upgraded mine from an i5 to an i7 @ 2.93 Mhz this weekend; works like a (fast) charm now, but the CPU fan runs like a freight train going up a mountain when it's under load. I think a new, bigger fan is in order...
