Ive got an HP DL120 G7 with a c204 chipset.
Currently has a E3-1220 Xeon
HPE website lists the following processors as options (at time of release)
Quad-core processors
- Intel Xeon E3-1280 (3.50 GHz/4-core/8MB/95 W), 1333, HT, Turbo 1/2/3/4 processor
- Intel Xeon E3-1270 (3.40 GHz/4-core/8MB/80 W), 1333, HT, Turbo 1/2/3/4 processor
- Intel Xeon E3-1240 (3.30 GHz/4-core/8MB/80 W),1333, HT, Turbo 1/2/3/4 processor
- Intel Xeon E3-1230 (3.20 GHz/4-core/8MB/80 W), 1333, HT, Turbo 1/2/3/4 processor
- Intel Xeon E3-1220 (3.10 GHz/4-core/8MB/80 W),1333, Turbo 1/2/3/4 processor
Dual-core processors
- Intel Xeon E3-1220L (2.2 GHz/2-core/3MB/20 W), 1333, Turbo 0/0/0/10 processor
These chips are Sandy Bridge, 32nm, released in Q2'11. Server sports a Intel c204 chipset.
Question;
I would like integrated graphics and quicksync.
Is there any reason the following processors wouldn't work?
E3-1225
E3-1235
E3-1245
E3-1260L
E3-1275
The chipset supports it, but HP never listed them at time of sale. Is this because they don't work as per the HP bios or because why would they list Xeons with IGPs as options for rack mount servers?
or
Ivy bridge V2 processors (they are 22nm but same 1155 socket and work on the same chipset c204)
I found a custom BIOS on a Russian (oh boy) site that allows Ivy Bridge on DL120 G7 but removes support for Sandy Bridge processors....
The only real difference is they have IGP and Quicksync. Same 32nm, same socket. Same release quarter.
Thanks for the help!
