Which CPU is the best for the C6100?

[finemen]

I am using 2x L5640 for C6100. And now, I found that E5649 is the most powerful CPU for the C6100. I would like to buy the best cpu for C6100. Please advise.

They came standardly with the X5650's so I would imagine you should have little issue with those. Check the max TDP supported and plan accordingly.

I have found that x5675 is more powerful if x5650 is supported. The TDP is same valve. Besides, I found that it is sell on ebay with this package

If you are using fan modifications to reduce the noise and consequently airflow, you need to confirm whether you can sufficiently cool higher spec'ed X5600 series CPUs. You should be ok with L56xx as they are already capped.

If possible, I would like to use high performance cpu (for C6100) for one of the blade because there are many vm for the lab. Thus, I would like to confirm the x5675 is supported for it.
