Vostro 3900G MT CPU Upgrade
Advice, please.
My PC came new with a Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3.2 GHz 4th Generation CPU. I am thinking to upgrade it to Intel Core i7-4790 @ 3.6 GHz 4th Generation.
Would I need to change the Dell heat sink and 64CFM CPU cooling fan already installed?
Many thanks.

The two cpu have same TDP of 84w.https://technical.city/en/cpu/Core-i7-4790-vs-Core-i5-4460
If you have the 65w heatsink now there is option to upgrade to 95w heatsink or heatsink of copper core optiplex XE2 which can support i7-4790k.
Thermal, Heatsink, 65W, 62 0
XPS 8300 Intel Corei7-2600 processor(8MB Cache, 3.4GHz)
the 65W heatsink is thinner
the 95W heatsink is thicker
