I think because this is a server pc the fan/heatsink is so massive it should handle it - this is the stock one coming in the PC I am buying https://www.ebay.com/itm/193879892489?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28 If not enough what should I buy? And where should I overclock the cpu from?

I am planning to buy an old dell z440 server with a E5-1650v3 cpu - This is one of the select few xenon chips totally 100% unlocked for overclocking. I know if that is the case, the bios of the MB installed (not sure the brand yet, just bought the pc, and MB brand was not listed) - is the way...

Found this online for the 1650 v3 - almost do not believe it (then saw was liquid cooled cpu) dangggg - may be a bit much even if the heatsink is a massive tower lol - I am not trying to switch over to liquid cooled

Scratch that - too expensive - and if I am spending a lot of $ would want to be able to OC if I ever do - that one is locked. No OC! So NO BUY lol.... But here's the OC screenshot someone got on the 1650 v3 that comes with the system I am looking at:

I did not even buy the PC yet lol - just doing my research before I commit. Based on your comments may upgrade cpu to 2687w v4 when I do - not sure yet on the fence lol - overclocked this looks like a beast! idk that the 2687 xenon v4's are overclockable will have to checkl on that lol

Add to that this... Just wanted to post up some results I have had after picking up my new E5-1650V3 CPU. After 5 minutes in the bios I was able to get 4.0GHz out of it at 1.15v. Not bad for a CPU i picked up for $390. Most people probably dont know that the 1650v3 chips are unlocked, so just...

Not to brag, but look at this: Remember I am no gamer I could care less about OC speeds (technically online there are many a forum shows how to OC the Xenon processor) but honestly seeing this has me goign hummmmm.... I think I might prefer the decade old cpu to the new one. Quick facts: The...

gotcha, thanks I realize that

Ok well my friend bought a $600 PC BRAND NEW last year from fry's before they went out of business this year and his takes 7-10 seconds just to open a chrome window - idk if he has what on there (virus, etc) but man, I was shocked! He seems used to it, says was always slow as he installed a...

Thanks for the link idk if this has the 700w power supply or not but their fairly cheap if not :) And I see a good list of processors to upgrade to - just what I needed :) I am leaning v4 just because why not, they are newer and prolly better than v3 ones

Ok so as I gather from everyone on here an Intel i (anything) is not supported..... Good to know - online some people say they buy a z440 and put an i7 in it, idk how but obviously lying or having issues after doing so. I am cool staying on xenon - they were better than the i7's anyway for...

IDC if it is out of date or not I just want some good as processing power lol - but I don't wanna pay $2k for something "up to date" lol - My budget for this is $500 or less and for the price this seemed the best specs for under $500. Has memory shroud included to cool the memory with fans...

The system I want to buy may be a "server" but look at the specs and all for $400? I have to display port monitors, are you saying I can find a decent i7 system with support for dual DP monitors that will cost me around that (or less)?? If so I am all ears! Also, the system I wanted to buy...

Or let me ask this instead..... What would be the highest processor I could get, xenon or i7 line that would work? I am decent with computers but know nothing on processor types lol

Thanks, so what processor do you suggest for a nice upgrade that won't break the bank?
