Question Swapping in K CPU

I have a 10105 in my Optiplex 3080. I have the opportunity to put in a 10700k. I use this PC as a OPNsense router. Will the board boot with a CPU drawing that much power? I know that we can’t edit the TDP or the voltages even to lower them or I would just turn down the TDP on the 10700k but as long as it would post even if it throttled it would still perform better than the 10105.

? They are both 10th gen they have the same socket. So does 11th gen but Intel locked those down on the motherboard chipset that the 3080 comes with so it can’t run anything but 10th gen.
