Processor compatibility of HP Proliant SE326M1
JeWe37 replied to JeWe37's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
Darn, oh well, in the last few days the resell value shouldn't have gone down by much... I was looking at the page for the DL160 G6, not the DL180... -
Recently I bought an HP Proliant SE326M1 which is a special edition of the HP Proliant DL160 G6 as well as a pair of fitting-or so I thought-processors. Though after trying to install them the system wouldn't boot anymore with no further information given. Therefore I think the x5687s which I bought might not be usable with this server. Does anyone know which processors are supported or if I was just doing something wrong? It is clearly not only the processors that DELL sold the servers with as that x5672s also appear to work with that model. Thanks for any help in advance.

I ve by now managed to get it off the board by shear force, but am now having the problem that the server wont boot anymore... all the led indicators but one in the center of the board which shows red are off... i am kind of lost
-
I've tried both running and a heat gun now and despite a bunch of twisting and pulling nothing is coming off... I'm really at a loss here... Any other suggestions? I've also tried getting a string between the CPU and cooler but that wasn't any more successful.

After recently buying a used server(HP Proliant SE326M1, effectively equivalent to the DL180 g6) but after losening the screws it was still not possible to simply lift it off as the manual for it describes. I assume the thermal compound has simply solidified over the years, does anyone have advice on how it could be removed?

Switching CPUs in HP Proliant SE326M1 possible?
JeWe37 replied to JeWe37's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
I see, it currently actually has a x5660 so the firmware support shouldn't be a problem, but this pretty much answers my question, thanks. -
I recently bought an HP Proliant SE326M1 but am now wondering if it is possible to switch out its cpus. I haven't been able to find any real information on the internet so I hoped one of you knows. Any help would be highly aprechiated! I really dont want to buy them and then not be able to use them.
-
You can find full systems for like $160. They have $20 CPUs in there then, but again, that is what I'm probably going to upgrade anyways. So that really isn't a concern.
-
No, again, if I go for LGA 1366 I'll definitely base it in some full used server, so those things I don't need to worry about. Just gonna put in the CPU and RAM I want and keep the rest. So yeah. (Also, are you kidding me, another $80 just on heatsinks?! )
-
Yeah, I mean, this is mostly a budget question anyways. I'm really aiming for $300 here as a target for an overall decent server. I am really not looking to spend upwards of $400 on the CPU alone.
-
I settled on either a X5687 or X5670 mostly because of the budget restrictions. And as I said before, thread-wise I think the X5687 would be just fine and the X5690 doesn't really outperform it SC wise either. But yeah, getting a full used server is a much better option for lga 1366 going by what I've seen anyways. Again, I am looking to use this as a server, not a primary PC. So probably gonna stay with my original plan or am gonna try and see if I can somehow make the E5-2680 work even though it's gonna be an additional $90.
-
Well great... Looked around some more, the only processor that'd work I could find is the original E5-2680 costing around $130. Since that is LGA2011 based, you cant really find whole used servers for cheap cause it's slightly too new, so I'd have to stretch my budget by a bit to build a system from the ground up. Best deal I could find is a $130 board and prob another $60 for decent PSU and cooler as well as $80 for 32GB RAM. So overall like $400. Not so sure what to do now. One of the problems is also that I'm in Germany and stuff from the US is expensive cause of shipping. Do you know of anything else that may work?
-
Oh, you're right, I hadn't thought about that at all. Do you know a motherboard that does support it and doesn't cost too much? If not, do you know any other options at $300 for like 8 cores with comparable SC performance? I mean, if there is no other option I'd have to stick with the non overclocked dual X5687, which I guess wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
-
One thing I hadn't considered is that these CPUs are hyperthreaded. And counting up the things I'll need to run, it'll be a maximum of 9 different heavier single threaded processes, out of which some sharing cores wouldn't be a big deal at all. Thanks for making me notice that

I've been looking at getting a server to host various things as a replacement for the server I'm renting. At the moment the best used servers to get that are within my budget(around $300) are socket 1366 servers. I've been looking at getting a cheap dual socket one with a crap $20 CPU and putting either two X5670 or two X5687 in. They cost about the same at $50 a piece on Ebay and I'd really like the extra two cores per CPU that the X5670 has, but it overclocks worse than the X5687 and I need at least the single core performance . Both overclock to over 4.5Ghz if you really try apparently, so I'd like to know how the X5670 OC'd compares to the E5-2680 v4, which while much newer clocks much lower, in terms of single core speeds in my current server. Does anyone happen to know that? I couldn't find a lot of data on this specifically. Thanks for any help!
