Same power and heatsink so no problems.

UPDATE: I did the upgrade and so far so good. The computer recognized the new cpu and even under heavy load it did not go above 75 degrees. However for some reason I experienced some weird audio delays first 1-2h after the change, but now seems fine. Will continue to track the performance, Im also planning to add new HDD or possibly SSHD ~500GB
Looking for suggestions for good ones as my original is almost toasted
