Dell Precision 5810 CPU Upgrade
I am trying to determine my options for upgrading the CPU in a T5810. I have seen a couple of posts in this community and elsewhere but not seeing any definitive answers on a recommendation that would improve performance.
My system is using the stock Intel Xeon ES-1620 V3 @ 3.50Ghz processor. I am currently running 32Gb of DDR-4 RAM at 2992.9 GHz in four of the eight slots. My understanding is the CPU sits in a 2011 socket.
I am looking for something to help me with video editing, specifically with Adobe Premiere which when rendering or encoding maxes out the CPU all the time.
Here are my questions:
1.) If there is just a straight "This is the fastest compatible processer", what would you recommend?
If that is not a straightforward answer then:
2.)Am I limited to just the Intel E516XX processors and if the only faster option would be the 1650 or 1660 could I expect a substantive increase in performance?
3.)Can I use an E5-26XX processor and again would something like the 2690 running 8 cores at 3.3Ghz give me a benefit?
4.)Lastly, am I chasing a dead horse at this point and am better off looking at getting a new Motherboard/Processor setup?
I appreciate anyone taking the time to respond. I am not a tech guy so don't want to get too much into the weeds here. Just need help getting this matching to run better.
Thanks.

Hi,
My Dell Precision T5810 is successfully using an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650L v3 @ 1.80GHz.
Thanks,

I have a 4-year-old T5810 with a Xeon E5-1630 v4 processor. The TDP for this processor is 140w according to Intel. I would like to upgrade the processor. Based on a review of used machines on eBay, some of the processor upgrade options appear to be
- E5-1650 v4, 140w
- E5-2683 v4, 120w
- E5-2690 v4, 135w
- E5-2697 v4, 145w
- E5-2699 v4, 145w
Based on a Service Tag search and the processor TDPs, the heatsink appears to be the same for machines equipped with any of these processors, so I assume that my existing heatsink (Dell P/N YH2R3) will work for any of these.
Does anyone have any successful experience upgrading an E5-16xx v4 processor to a E5-26xx v4 processor in a Precision T5810?
(The -2690 or the -2697 look like the best bet price/performance-wise.)
Thanks for any help/experience that you can provide!

Easy way to check. Google "Dell Precision 5810 [pick your CPU here] userbenchmark."
Or skip the CPU part and go "Dell Precision 5810 userbenchmark."
Precision 5810 Owner's Manual , pg. 49 has CPU tech specs.

Today I installed a Xeon E5-2690 v4 in my T5810. This replaced a Xeon E5-1630 v4. The upgrade was very easy and straightforward. I purchased the E5-2690 on eBay for $195. I plan to sell off the E5-1630 for about $90. So for a little over $100 (net) I got a 3x boost in speed and went from 4 cores to 14 cores. So far no problems at all.

Does anyone know if Dell Precision T5810 is compatible with E5-26xxL v3 and E5-26xxL v4 processors?
