Question A question about a cpu upgrade for Precision T3600.

[aapoe.haikarainen]

Would this Xeon E5-2687W CPU work with this dell precision t3600 computer. The cpu has the correct socket LGA 2011, correct architecture Sandy Bridge EP. But it says "Up to 130W" and this Xeon E5-2687W uses 150W. I have a 635W psu. Would this be a issue or not? I have had issues with i7-3930k but that was becase of the wrong architecture, presumably. i'm currently using E5-1603

up to 130w because the motherboard can only handle 130w.

You have the supported cpu list right there

There is a listing here with the cpu on the same computer at ebay and a benchmark from a t3600 with 2687w cpu here. Can you explain further more?

it said the chassis, not the internal. unless you know they use the exact motherboard, nope

The exact motherboard type is Dell Inc. 08HPGT. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/12405517 this is the benchmark that i was supposed to put

If you think you can, then do it
