2019 iMac CPU upgrade

[pittance72]

Hello everyone

I want to upgrade my iMac CPU which is currently a 3.0 GHz Intel Core i5.
The iMac in question is a 27 inch, 2019 model with Radeon Pro 570X GPU.
I already bought i9 9900KS (127w TDP) on Amazon. Can i install this CPU in to it ?


Thanks for reading
