I currently use a Z440 board with an Xeon E5 2690-v3, but I just discovered your motherboard is compatible with Xeon E5 v4.
Review the HP workstation manual closely. CPUs often appear on the whitelist; otherwise, performance suffers. For the newer v4 Xeons, choosing between more cores versus higher speed is key. More cores mean slower individual performance. Which aspect matters most to you?
BTW, Im sure you know, but here is the master list https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...amily.html
You definitely don’t need more than 6 cores or 12 threads. Most games won’t benefit from that much power. Let’s check the available options: the links provided point to Intel Xeon processors with various cache speeds and clock rates. Remember, it’s crucial to confirm these models are allowed on your system before purchasing.
You're asking about a whitelist you found online that claims your motherboard supports both v3 and v4 Xeon CPUs.
HP, IBM, and Dell all indicate which CPUs their systems can run. If a specific CPU isn’t on that list, it’s unlikely to work. This is especially important for their workstations—my Dell Precision is my primary machine, and the Xeons they support are quite limited, even though there are many physically compatible options. The motherboard only accepts CPUs that are programmed into the BIOS. Therefore, check your user manual and purchase only from the supported choices.
