CPU Upgrade for iMac 2013-Education Model

CPU Upgrade for iMac 2013-Education Model I have the Early-2013 Education iMac with the Core i3-3225 and HD graphics 4000. I was thinking of upgrading to the i7-3770S which also uses 4000 graphics and the same socket. I understand the TDP of the processors are different from one another, but they should be using the same logic board as the late 2012 21.5 which shipped with the i7-3770s.

"Hello @johnbaker

I’m very glad to know your interest to replace this 2013 Education iMac original processor Core i3-3225 with Core i7-3770S.

Yes, you may do it, Remember one thing that Apple officially does not intend for the processor in any Intel-based iMac models to be upgraded that's why you must do this process following with the proper guideline.

Actually, I’m a professional educational advisor and I have also used this same model: iMac Intel 21.5"" EMC 2545 (Edu) for the last few years.

Now I also gonna prepare to replace the original processor with the i7-3770S very soon. Thanks!"
