I have an IBM x3650 with a 550W power supply. It currently uses two Xeon E5-2620 v1 processors at 95W each. I'd like to upgrade to dual v2 processors, but I don't know how far I can push it from a power (Watts) perspective.
Two E5-2650 v2 procs should work because it has the same TDP of 95W and it is mentioned here under 'Processor Options'.
But what about something like the E5-2667 v2? It too is mentioned in the 'Processor Options' section, but the TDP is 130W and I am wondering if two of these are too much for a single 550W PSU. But according to the Power Allocation photo (below), the PSU still has 121W remaining which could easily fit 70W (2x (130W - 95W)).
Can anyone speak from experience?
