What the strongest cpu for the HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8?

[FuchsFuchs1]

Hello
I recently purchased a HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 on ebay and i am woundering whats the strongest cpu or it... the way intel names its processors for that time is very confusing and they dont say which lga2011 they use since apparently there multiple versions?

[FuchsFuchs1]

id asume its the E5-2687W?

[TrigrH]

Intel Xeon E5-2697v2

Given that it’s HP the cpu is probably soldered down.  I don’t know of a socketed cpu laptop for a long long time does the thing even have a socket?  If it’s soldered down (BGA) the one that’s in it is the only one that can ever be in it without a full innards swap.

It's a server, not a laptop.

What CPU is currently in it? There is indeed a 2011 socket and 2011-3 with the -3 socket being the newer one.

Ah.  Then it might.

This is an LGA2011 socket processor, do others will fit. A full list of 2011 socket processors can be found here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_2011#Server_processors

These include sandy bridge, ivy bridge, haswell and broadwell architectures.

so only the LGA2011 sockets? no LGA2011-1, 2 or 3?

Yup 2011 only.

 

Make sure you have newer firmware if you want to use the v2 cpu(and you really should use the v2 cpus there a good amount better).

Note that it can't run v3 and v4 CPUs, those were LGA2011-3. You can only run Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge in that chassis.

 

Which CPU is "best" depends on whether you need high clock speeds or a lot of cores. You can probably find 10-core E5-2680 v2s for a song and dance these days, but their clock speeds are going to be lower than an E5-2637 v2.

im searching vor mix of both...
i can prob find it on my own...

[FuchsFuchs1]

would 4xxx and 8xxx cpus work?

Basically, you have your pick from this list (any E5-26xx v2):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_processors_(Ivy_Bridge-based)#Xeon_E5-26xx_v2_(dual-processor)

 

Price the CPUs out on eBay, they should be pretty cheap. Here's a pair of 10-core E5-2680 v2s for $20 shipped:
