Hey all!
Currently, I'm running a z600 workstation, which has 2x Xeon x5570s (4C/8T Each), 8GB 1333mhz DDR3 & a GTX 660. I am looking to upgrade the GPU to a GTX 1070 (plus extra ram), and got the power connector issue sorted. However, I am looking at replacing the CPUs, as I'm not sure the dual x5570s would keep up with the GPU. I have seen x5675 cpus that use the same socket, however, I have read there could be possible incompatabilities depending on which revision of the z600 is used. What CPU would be the best compatable one to upgrade to, keeping in mind rn I am using dual x5570s.
