Can I upgrade i5 6500 processor to i7 6700k in iMac 27'' Retina Late 2015?

Hello. Is it possible to replace Skylake i5 6500 processor with Skylake i7 6700k in iMac 27'' Late 2015? The chipset is the same. The difference is that the core i5 6500 is currently running at 65w, while the i7 6700k requires 91w.

Hey!
I replaced my 6600 with a 6700K and my Mac started getting pretty hot.
At idle 52-63. In operation, up to 100 and then reset the frequencies.
What temperatures did you get?
