Mixing CPU models on dual socket motherboard

Anyone know if I can put a Xeon E5530 in with a E5504? Both are LGA1366. I have 2 5504s but the 5530 has hyperthreading and a slightly higher clock

the specific motherboard model matters, but I doubt there's a motherboard that doesn't support both

 

edit: misread the question. you can't mix and match these CPUs unfortunately. The 5530 would have to be solo.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Dang. Guess I'll just run 2 5504s, loose a little clock, and get more RAM channels
