The thermal design and power brick are designed for T-variant with 35W draw. If you use the full fat version you may run into overheat problems which cause throttling. If you really want to use it, I would suggest swapping the power brick for a 90W or more (the one I have comes with this PC is 65W), and test out the thermal dissipation.
Hi, I don't remember but I think it was a Celeron I have on hand that fits the socket. The swap was just for demonstration, not strictly upgrading in that case.
I unscrewed the thumb screw but cover will not come off

@@ComputerizedCanada That was why you didn't bother with thermal paste then.
