Trig0r Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 So, many moons ago I bought a server on a whim, it was late, I may, or may not have been drinking.. DL360e G8 Server 2x E5-2448L's 52Gb RAM 500Gb Crucial SSD P420/1Gb Its got a rack and the rails, 4 NIC's, 4 of the 8 SFF caddies and a single 750w PSU (will take 2 tho), problem is, I dont really have the space, or any need for it.. I was thinking about trying to find a mATX motherboard that'll take the CPU and then use that to replace my i7-3770s server CPU and board, other than that, anyone in the UK need any bits or anyone suggest a board that'll take at least one of the CPU's?

schoondoggy Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 If I am reading things correctly, the E5-2448L is a socket 1356. I am not seeing any single socket motherboards for socket 1356. Here is a good post on E5-2400 XEON: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/intel-xeon-e5-socket.1492280/post-10978648 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig0r Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yeah I had a look around yesterday after I had posted this, chances of finding a board to put bits in is going to be a struggle... Wonder if I could find an ATX board that would take both lol.. Thinking it might be staying as it is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoondoggy Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Supermicro and Gigabyte both made dual socket 1356 in extended ATX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig0r Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yeah they arent cheap though, think it might strip it or sell it as it is, I've managed to find 1 LGA 1356 board but it only has 2 RAM slots so 16Gb tops, so no use as the machine I want to replace already has 32Gb in it...

schoondoggy Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I would look at selling it as a complete unit. Probably get the most out of it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig0r Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Might go install Win10 on it, just for the PnG's.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
