hello and thx for lookin at my question, I run server 2003 and my goal is to step up to this server board , with that said can i buy 1 cpu and make it work ? I would buy the 2nd cpu latter in time as cash flow is a bit tight. hello and thx for lookin at my question, I run server 2003 and my goal is to step up to this server board , with that said can i buy 1 cpu and make it work ?

En teoría no deberías tener problemas al colocar la segunda CPU. Revisa el tema del licenciamiento de Windows.

Yes, you can use 1 or 2 CPUs, the difference is 1 CPU only can use 4 DIMMs MAX on Bank DIMM A1-A2, B1-B2for further info please visit ASUS WEB: http://www.asus.com/us/Commercial_Servers_Workstations/KCMAD8/HelpDesk/If you have any for question, please don't hesitate to ask,Thank you and you have a great day,Calvin,

Magaly, The Certified Servers team appreciates your question. The server will work with only one power supply connected. The second power supply is for redundancy in case one of the two power supplies ever fails, your server wont just suddenly shut down.

I built servers with the 2 boards i bought. They are rock stable with 8350's in them running vm's, with 32gb's ram in each. I am using on board video

You can install only one CPU but there are restrictions with RAM configuration when doing this. But it does work.

As far as I know, one for CPU and 2 for system. There could be more, that's just how may are in my setup.

Only if you can find the 'white elephant' 95 watt TDP 8 core. Supposedly they were made, but I've never seen one for sale... So you're likely maxed out with the 95 watt 6 core 'Piledriver' CPU. Still very respectable !

yes it fit with one processor if you want... but if you want to install two processors have to be XEON. I recommend you view the asus manual or support list. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z9PED8_WS/HelpDesk_CPU/:)

yes it can work in that board but why would you want to use a single core processor, when you can get a e84oo dual core cpu running at 3.02 mhz dirt cheap?

If you're asking this question, you're *very* likely looking at wrong configuration. I suggest you shop for a desktop PC, not server, as there may be many other things surprising to you.Going back to the original question - no, it's not hard.

No, you cannot upgrade the processor as far as I know. It is not intended for intensive workload although it is much better than regular desktop PCs even if these have more CPU processing power. The reason being that it is designed as a server. It runs very efficiently 24/7 and is mostly silent. You can add more RAM but it is recommended that you use a server graded module.

This is a great motherboard but it does not support the processor your looking at. Below are a few links in the board you looked at, the processor you looked at and a link to Gigabyte who will have a board that will work well. Intel seems to be getting out of the desktop board industry, the are focusing a lot on server products, processors and the Intel NUC (Next Unit of Computing). Processor: http://ark.intel.com/m/products/47922/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X5650-(12M-Cache-2_66-GHz-6_40-GTs-Intel-QPI)#@product/specifications Motherboard: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh55tc.html Gigabyte: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/list.aspx?s=42&jid=0&p=2&v=1 Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions!

The "Certified Servers" team appreciates your question. Our server comes with 2x Intel Xeon Processor E5440 (12M Cache, 2.83 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) . According to intel these processors support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x).

The speed of a CPU is relative. It holds no importance as far as can it work. So yes your computer can handle it as long as you are using a 64bit OS. You need to make sure that your motherboard can support it before making the decision to buy it. Check to see if the socket type on your mobo matches this CPU's socket type and you should be fine.

Best ask that question on another site... research the "socket type" and other specs and compare the two components. Example : that server CPU is LGA775 per my research... E8400 is as well so it will most likely work but may void the warranty! Also note the E8400 is my favorite E-Series CPU... can handle 4+GHz overclocks on AIR without much effort. Will match an i3 on the bench.

Yes. This one is just all one piece while the other is two. As long as your cpu is AM3+ of course

Most notebooks have the CPU soldered to the motherboard. I installed this processor in a desktop PC. This media server is still running strong 4 years later. I would check the AMD website for socket comparability. Good luck with your upgrade.

I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O65JXI/ with this one, and seems to work fine this far. However, with my motherboard, http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Triple-Monitor-support-Windows/dp/B009L1EOKQ/ , it makes it impossible for you to install RAM in DDR3_4 slot (the one closer to CPU socket). Not a big deal for me, as I just added two 8GB modules for the 16GB I wanted, but is something you need to bear in mind (it looks like your board has more space there, but I am not sure). Also, you should consider this CPU instead: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-AD785KXBJABOX-3-7-Socket/dp/B00H7Z7YMI/ (I have been considering to sell mine CPU + motherboard to buy this one, and another motherboard that supports FM2+ socket).
