Hi all:
I have a older HP workstation, an HP Z640 and I'd like to upgrade the CPU on it but have no idea how to figure out what CPUs would be compatible with the motherboard.
The machine has 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-2620 v3 CPUs in it.
When I run CPU-Z to try to figure out what type of motherboard the computer has, I get the following information under "Motherboard": Hewlett-Packard, Model 212A
When I google the model "212A", I don't find any results that help me.
Under "CPU", I see the following under "Package": Socket 2011 LGA
I have opened up the computer and I know it has a Motherboard "riser" where the second CPU sits.
I'd like to upgrade the CPUs in this computer to something substantially better, and hopefully something overclockable, but have no idea how to figure out what CPUs would be compatible with this system. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you
