Hi i would like to create a server render farm, i need core with high clock speed, and ram, i don't need gpu, i already have one old that will be enough.
I don't have so much money(around 200 max max 250 Dollar/euro) and after searching stuff i have this x5675 ( 40$ one ) that i would like to put in a server with dual socket, my questions are ;
0 Can i put windows on server and run a program which will be doing the render?
1 can i overclock this dual xeon cpu in a server?
2 what type of serve i can buy that isn't so much expensive? we can find so much servers at low cost but i don't know which is good, i must search for something particular? or with just a LGA1366 socket or other specs?
3 Would be a dell poweredge 5710 good for what i want to do?
 
Solution
Xeons are only overclock friendly on a couple very expensive motherboards. Don't expect to overclock. HP DL380G6 should support the X5675. It was sold with the X5670 CPUs.
