Xeon X3210 in Optiplex 755?

[chetmaster12]

So I'm upgrading my NAS from a HP DL320 G5p to a Dell Poweredge R610. I'm going to put a very low power Xeon in the old Proliant, remove a few fans and make it into a router, so I have an X3210 Xeon laying around. Now, I was wondering if I could throw that X3210 into an Optiplex 755 just for shits and giggles. The 755 is just an extra PC, so if it messes it up I don't really care... I picked it up for like $5. My question is not if it's supported. I know the X3210 is probably way too power hungry. But could it work? I know E3-1230 V3 runs on Z97 chipsets, and I was wondering if it was true with old 775 Xeons.

Just do it lol. Tell us the results when it does. If there is not enough power, the PC will just shut down.
