I find conflicting documentation as to whether it can run 80/95W 6-core X56's. Can I use a couple of X5675's or X5670's?
Yes, you will need to make sure the iDRAC and system BIOS are up-to-date to support the 5600 series CPUs. Your system will support 5600 series CPUs that are less than 130w. You can find out more information in the Intel Xeon 5600 Series Processors--Information Update in the manual section of the R610 support page.
TYVM, sorry for wasting your time, not sure how I missed that paper. I've have pretty limited interactions with these Poweredge's until now. Now if I can just get it to stop failing the BIOS update I will be in business :)
