Dell PowerEdge R210 II CPU Options

[PenguinMaster]

I recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge R210 II, and I was wondering what processors are compatible? I am looking for a Xeon Processor. I believe the socket is LGA-1155, but I'm not certain. It originally had an Intel Xeon E3-1240 @2.30GHz (4-Core).

Which CPU support intel quicksync and is the best for plex?

[Jarsky]

Xeon's dont have iGPU's. 

Also why don't you check Intel ARK? 

 

If you check the Support page you will see the list of compatible CPU's:https://www.dell.com/support/article/nz/en/nzdhs1/sln156378/processor-information-for-the-poweredge-r210-ii?lang=en#Unique-Hyphenated-Issue-Here-3

 

 

Given that Xeon's dont have iGPU's, Pentiums/Celerons dont support Quick Sync, then theres only 1 in the list which is the i3-2100. 

Which you can see what it supports on ARK: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/53422/intel-core-i3-2100-processor-3m-cache-3-10-ghz.html

 

The R210's probably arent the ideal candidate to be using as Plex servers, theyre generally made for application and web servers.

Given that the highest end supported CPU is the E3-1280 V2, which only gets you a boost of about 300 MHz? I personally would just stick with the E3-1240, or get rid of the server completely and upgrade to a platform with better CPU options.
