Dell PowerEdge R720xd Server CPUs | Intel Xeon Processors Options | LGA2011 Socket | CPU Install

[@danmurray4594]

I have an R720xd and a pair of R620s The 620's are both running Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60GHz' CPUs while the 720XD is showing as a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 0 @ 2.50GHz. looking to max out all CPUs. When I looked at this video for the 720XD, the E5-2640 isn't even shown as an option, but the Dell factory inventory shows these as OEM for this SvcTag. Are there different versions of the Motherboard? Concerned that if I get the E5-2697v2's I'll kill something onthe motherboard. Thoughts?

Howdy! We list the procs we recommend, but not all the compatible processors. The E5-2697v2 works great with the R620 and R720xd. OEM just means it doesn't say Dell on the chassis... it's nothing to worry about. Smash that subscribe.

Is the 2667v4 a good option?

[@cloudninjas]

It's a great CPU for R730xd... but would not work for R720xd. Need V1 or V2 procs. E5-2667v2 would work great for R720xd. Smash that subscribe.

[@davidalmeida8552]

O 2667v4 é uma boa opção ?

[@cloudninjas]

V1 or V2 needed.

I have a r720xd and bought a pair of e5-2690 v2 on eBay and realized it says that model cpu is not supported on the 3.5” r720xd. Do you know if these CPU’s can be used maybe with a bios update?

[@cloudninjas]

Don't see why those wouldn't work.

[@Gi2joe3]

Good news, it worked!
