HP ML110 CPU upgrade

[BHeshka]

First off, I have replace hardware before but always with identical hardware or within OEM recommendations. So...

I need to upgrade 3 HP ML110 servers that currently have i3-2120 CPUs. OEM states that I can use v1 of E3-1280, E3-1270, E3-1240, E3-1230, or E3-1220. They use a LGA1155 socket.

Would I also be able to use the v2 (E3-12x0) CPUs (or other LGA1155 sockets CPUs) or is there a difference? FSB?

The v2's seem to be a lot cheaper, probably due to supply.

Also can I reuse the heatsink?

you need to have the cpus that your motherboard supports what kind of motherboard do you have?

The only think on the motherboard I can find is the part number (644671-001). Ill have to wait until I can open up the case and look at it.
