Quick follow-up to this developping story. I purchased a used pair of E5-2650-V4 chips from someone who had upgraded his R730, and things went like this: 1) When I put the cpus in the server and tried to turn it on, it didn't. 2) I disconnected the power cable and waited about 15 secs, it d

Hi René, Someone from Dell had simply pointed me to the list of selectable/configurable options for my T430 server (link below): https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-poweredge-servers/poweredge-t430-tower-server/spd/poweredge-t430/pe_t430_1454 So from there, it was easy to see that the 26

Thanks for sharing your latest findings. Would you mind sharing where you found the 'list of T430 options'. I'd like to verify CPU upgrade options for R720s, but having a hard time to find a list of supported CPUs. On Wed, Jul 11, 2018 at 4:40 PM, wrote: > > Quick follow-up about this subject: >

Quick follow-up about this subject: While the E5-2658 V4 chips might actually work very fine in a T430 (105W chips, etc..), because they aren't on the list of T430 options, the cpus would make my server not 'fully' supportable (it's still under warranty until 2020). So I droppped the ball

Hi R S, Thanks for taking the time to put this information together. Yes, PE T430 servers support chips up to 105W/socket. The specific chip I am looking at (2658-v4) isn't listed. I once tried 145W cpus in my T430. They worked fine one after the other but with both chips, the server wouldn't ev

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dell_PowerEdge_Servers#Generation_13 states that the T430 is based on the C610 chipset. The C610/X99 chipset supports both the v3 and v4 E5-16xx and E5-26xx CPUs according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_X99 Digging a bit deeper reveals that Dell has up

Hi all, Does anyone know if a pair of E5-2658 v4 chips (105W) might be compatible with a Dell PE T430 ? I don't see these chips listed for the T430 but I suspect this may be because they were released after the last update of the server specs. Anyone reason why they woupdn't work? Otherwise I

You guys are the best! Got an answer in 5 minutes. Thanks to: - Julien Lanni (Dell) - Grzegorz Bakalarski The Max TDP for cpus on T430 machines seem to be around 105W so no 145W monsters.. I guess I'll have to look for a pair of E5-2660 v4 cpus.. Also, I had one more burning question: Why is

Hi everyone, I have a Poweredge T430 that has been running fine for the past two years. I've run into an issue upgrading the cpus and although I have submitted an SR to dell, I would like to ask for a second opinion. The current configuration is as follows: - 2*E5-2620 V3 (85W) - Qlogic dua
