HP 710324-002 CPU compatibility with the 2011-3 motherboard
Hey! For your 2011-3 PC setup, the HP 710324-002 looks like a solid pick. The E5 2695 v4 is a great fit, though I haven’t found a detailed spec sheet yet. From what I saw, the Z440 workstation docs say it supports E5 2600 series chips, which should cover your v4 processors. I’m not sure about BIOS compatibility, but drop-in replacement parts are usually reliable for these models. Check the forum link you shared—it might help clarify things. Also, someone in your future projects found this setup in a home lab and used 256GB RAM, which is impressive for the Z440.
they could be facing an issue since it isn't displayed anywhere
HP presented the Z440 motherboard after the original Win.7 and 8 models, offering 256GB RAM and not restricting itself. This model appears in the updated manual for newer generations, featuring 2400MHz ECC memory. Usually, E5 series CPUs on this board support only 2400DDR4. My system upgrades from an 1650V3 to a 1660V4, and it performs adequately, mainly limited by my slower drives.
