R510 Supported CPU's

Question

Tried to upgrade one of our R510's to 2 Intel Xeon X5687 processors, but found out that the R510's don't support 130w CPU's???  Is there a list of supported CPU's because the documentation lists all 5500 and 5600 cpu's are supported.

that's not really what I need, I need to know what CPU's the R510's can support, I have several R510's we tried installing x5687 CPU's, but they did not work.

Bradford Hart · Answer

Will the R510's support the X5672, it's a 95w 4core cpu, with a higher clock speed of 3.2ghz, our application is not multithreaded so clock speed is key.

FYI. The L5520 (according to Intel) uses 60w TDP. Not 50w

I know this is old but I can confirm that the R510 will accept X5672 CPUs at 3.2ghz.  Here is a screenshot from an R510 TrueNAS dashboard.

It also accepts the X5675 (6 core at 3.07mhz), and unlike the 5672, you'll be using the 6.4 GT/s qpi rather than the slower 5.8 GT/s, given your application is compute sensitive, the slightly slower clock, but higher QPI will probably give you better results.
