I found this:
***Can iMac 5k 2017 upgrade to i9 processor?
"In this case the best you could install would be a 4.2 GHz Core i7 (I7-7700K)"

Where can I get ahold of the right CPU? Do they come new from anyone? Interested in putting one in a 2017 iMac Retina 5K

Just finished watching your video to familiarize myself with internals of my recently
purchased, refurbished, 2017, 27" iMac.
Great video, and easy to follow. With this video having been sped up, I'm curious as
to what the actually time it took to complete this modification, from start to finish?
Your answer would really be appreciated!
Thank You,
