I'm purchasing a barebone Dell Precision T7910 workstation. I was looking for CPU with high single thread performance and low cost. Intel Xeon E5-1620 v3 seems to be a good fit for my criteria. However, I'm not certain whether this cpu will be compatible with T7910 as it's usually installed on T5810. Does anyone know if it'll work?

Thanks!

So I contacted Dell support and I was told that it's compatible. Indeed, after I installed it. I worked just fine. Although I cannot confirm this since I only installed one, I think T7910 might not take two Xeon E5-1620 v3 because the CPU has a QPI link count of 0.

I once tried the same thing in a Precision T5500 which is a 2 socket workstation like the T7910. I removed the x5570 which supports multi socket and replaced it with a w3540 which was from a single socket T3500. No post. Both CPUs are Xeon, first gen i7, LGA 1366 CPU's. The opposite did work; the x5570 posted fine in the T3500.

So based on that, I don't think the E5-1620 v3 will post in your T7910 but I also don't think you'll do any damage if you try it. Best of luck.
