RN516 CPU upgrade
Ever looking to improve on performance I'm looking for a way to upgrade the CPU on my RN516. The CPU obviously must support ECC memory and have a (FC)LGA1155 socket with a max TDP of 55W. LGA1155 wi...
I was looking at that.. but the Xeon Ivy Bridge E3-1225v2 is a 77W TDP part while the 516 is a 55W TDP part.
I don't know if the cooler of the 516 would be efficient enough or if they both use the same model cooler.
I did read here of the i3 running hot already at high loads.
Question remains; what CPU's will the bios recognize?
Added to that: is it safe to assume that the 716's CPU would be recognized correctly by the bios? As in the 516 and 716 have the same bios?
