Will it be compatible?

[mocha]

Hello guys,
I will try to keep my question short . Planning to upgrade my supermicro X10DRH-CT motherboard with a new CPU .
E5-2650L v4 . But the cores is more than supermicro's product page (22 cores) Supermicro | Products | Motherboards | Xeon® Boards | X10DRH-CT.
So my question is will it work ?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that will work. I think the specs on the Supermicro page refer to the cores per socket, and the E5-2650LV4 has 14.

I think the actual limiting factor there is usually the TDP, for instance SM says the E5-2696V4 (150 TDP) is not compatible with the X10DRW and X10DRH-CT etc. because their max TDP is 145. I don't know if their "not compatible" means "we suggest not doing this because things get hot" or "it won't boot at all and is broken".

Its all about cooling ...

But basically I think the 22 cores is not a limit but a marketing aspect. Its the core limit of a single v4 cpu and similar on the SRH board
Supermicro | Products | Motherboards | Xeon® Boards | X10SRH-CF which tells me somebody didn't pay attention when creating that page

So I'd expect no issue with it at all.
