Lenovo ts 150 cpu upgrade

[tezray 10]

Hi I am thinking of getting the ts 150 with a g4400 cpu and hoping to put an i5 6500 in it. Does anyone think it will work

Hard to say. I think it will come down to ECC support. Tech info on the TS150 shows DDR4 ECC UDIMMs are required and as far as I can see, all the CPU's that ship from Lenovo in this server support ECC memory. The i5-6500 does not support ECC. The BIOS could have a lockout for non-ECC CPU's. 

Perhaps someone has tried a non-ECC CPU in the TS150.

Thanks forgot about the i5 ecc issue probably not worth the risk really annoying though I need a cheap server to remove the strain from my Gen8 need to move some vms shame there is nothing about with descent cash back at the moment
