schoondoggy 895 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 There is a nice tool on Intel's site that lets you sort CPU's by parameters; http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced/?s=t The CPU in the MS G8 is rated at 35W, in this sort I called out socket 1155, ECC memory and TDP of 0W-45W http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced/?s=t&Sockets=FCLGA1155&MaxTDPMin=0&MaxTDPMax=45&ECCMemory=true Link to post Share on other sites
Stevns 2 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Rocking this one: Intel Xeon E3-1265LV2 / 2.5 GHz Processor - LGA1155 Only 10 TDP more, which should not be an issue. Cheers Edited July 29, 2013 by Stevns Link to post Share on other sites
schoondoggy 895 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I was thinking that would be one of the safer choices. Link to post Share on other sites

FiLiNuX 30 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 When I was first looking into this I had thought that the Xeon e3-1230L would be a great viable option for upgrading a Gen 8 but I see it is not in the list. I was really surprised that ECC is the issue on that chip. The power, price, and everything else looked good. Link to post Share on other sites

The e3-1230 v2 is 69w and the e3-1230L v3 is a socket 1150. Link to post Share on other sites
FiLiNuX 30 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Thanks Schoondoggy! II was going from memory and I must have got my specs messed up. I was thinking that the Xeon E3-1230L V3 (25 TDP) was 1155 and then concluded it must have been a ECC issue and thats why I put I was really surprised that ECC was a issue (on a Xeon).

ikon 439 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That Xeon is an 1150? Heck that just means there are 5 'spare' pin holes on the socket. No problem, right? Link to post Share on other sites
schoondoggy 895 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 The new Haswell based XEON are socket 1150. Link to post Share on other sites
