So I recently bought this older server off of eBay, for 55$ ish I got a motherboard 32gb ddr2 and 2 E5420 CPUs. Now I was pretty under budget, so I was wondering what the best LGA 771 Xeon CPU is. I am going to be buying it used off of eBay, I would just like some recommendations. Thanks!

E5450 is best performance per watt. X5450, x5460 and x5470 are the fastest there is x5472 x5482 as well I think but they might not be compatible.  Check the cpu support list for the motherboard.

AMD Threadripper 5990WX@4.8Ghz

Asus Zenith III Extreme

Asrock OC Formula 7970XTX Quadfire

G.Skill Ripheartout X OC 7000Mhz C28 DDR5 4X16GB
