Hi. I have a 2011 21.5" iMac with a 2.7 Ghz Core i5 processor. After doing some research, I learned that Intel's new Ivy Bridge chips also use the same 1155 socket as the Sandy Bridge chips. I was wondering if anyone out there knows if I would be able to upgrade the processor to the i7 3770 (or i7 3770k). I consider myself pretty tech savvy and have already replaced my optical drive with a Blu Ray Drive, and added an SSD to my iMac, so I am confident in my abilities to replace the processor. I just would like to make sure it would work before I go through the trouble of upgrading it.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
