Compatible processor for R430

Hi Gavin,

I looked through the validated parts list, but the E5-2699v4 wasn't listed. A number of other 26xxv4s were, but not that specific one. It looks like the 2699 has a marginally higher TDP rating, but other specs are very similar. Based on this, I wouldn't be surprised if the 2699v4 works just fine, I just don't see it as validated.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. But that's an expensive 'try it out see if it works' approach though.

Could you share what it the highest/most powerful processor of the E5-26xx v4 family that *is* validated? Or could you share the list?

Thank you.

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no list to let you view, neither for us too. We'll have to do a search on it. What was listed is: 

Intel, 2.2GHz, 50MB, FSB 9600MHz, 135W, Xeon E5-2698V4, Broadwell, Server, Bare Processor, B0 

Intel, 2.1GHz, 45MB, FSB 9600MHz, 120W, Xeon E5-2695V4, Broadwell, Server, Bare Processor, B0

Intel, 2.6GHz, 35MB, FSB 9600MHz, 135W, Xeon E5-2690V4, Broadwell, Server, Bare Processor, M0 

I never tried it as it was a too expensive 'test', I settled for using the E5-2698v4 which works just fine. I have seen servers listed with the E5-2699v4 so I am assuming it does work, but I never tried it.

Hello,

Sorry for bumping up an old thread, but can someone check if the E5-2687Wv4 would be compatible with the R430?

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm not seeing E5-2687Wv4 specifically listed as supported for the R430 Server.

The W in the Intel® Xeon® E5-2687W v4 Processor means workstation.

I see E5-2683 and E5-2680 in the validated CPU's for the R430.

R430 CPU part numbers:

E5-2687Wv4 may work but I can't guarantee it will work as it is for workstations.
