Can a Pentium G4400 Stock Heatsink/Fan work for an i7 7700T?

I have a Pentium G4400 which has been acting in my NAS for about the period of a year quite faithfully. It's a little limited in it's ability and this was expected as I've always anticipated replacing it. Recently I have stumbled onto the i7-7700T which has a decent power consumption while having performance not very far from an actual 7700.



Some quick facts about the G4400 and 7700T I feel are pertinent:




  • The G4400 has a TDP of 54 watts

  • The i7-7700T has a TDP of 35 watts


Given that the Pentium G4400 has a TDP of 54w and the 7700T has a TDP of 35W is it safe to say then that the G4400 stock heatsink is sufficient for the 7700t?

          Yes it will be sufficient as the TDP of 7700T is less than that of Pentium G4400. It will keep the system cool.
