Hi,
I wish you all a happy new year !
I am building an ESXi server using an Asus Z10 motherboard and 1 CPU. I want somtething that is using as low power as possible when idle. I had a xeon-D motherboard for the old setup but it was running too hot, very limited versatility, etc... So i decided to use some spare part I had, ie, a xeon E5 2630L v3 and E5 2650L v3 CPU.
At first I thought that those processors will have the lowest idle power consumption, but the more I spent time reading posts, the more I find different information about this topic... .
Are those processor the best one to use in term of idle power consumption ?
I am also thinking to switch my 5960x cpu in my asus rampage extreme V for a xeon E5 v3/v4. my cpu draw 140w and the idle power consumption is too much. I read that the xeon E5 have a lower idle power consumption so I am thinking to migrate to something like E5 2696 v3...
Regards,
S.
