[SOLVED] Will Dell Optiplex 790's motherboard 0D28YY work with Xeon e3-1220v2 normally?

[tonoman]

Hello community,

my question is: Can Dell's motherboard 0D28YY(now im using i3-2120) have Intel Xeon e3-1220v2 as a CPU?

I am worried because it is not classic desktop CPU, so i need to be sure if this upgrade is possible or not. If it wont cause any unpleasent action or harm during gaming, surfing, general usage of PC. Any advices, answers in general, are welcomed.

Thanks in advance, community!

I'm seeing Xeons running on that up to E3 1290 but not E3 1290 V2 which is a different generation of CPU.https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/31068/IntelR-XeonR-CPU-E31290---360GHz
Here are the 2 CPUs compared.

So there are xeons that will run but unless you find one of the V2 running I wouldn't try it.
I would search around the list at userbenchmark and run something that's confirmed and has a good CPU score.
