Will this CPU Fit (*Confused*)

[RackGaming]

Hey everyone,

 

Just a quick question that maybe you guys will help me out with.

I have just bought a HP DL160 G5 server which has a Quadcore 2GHZ CPU obviously it's a "Passive" CPU due to no fans.

 

Anyway here's the thing, I am looking into getting a second cpu for this box but there are 2 variations I have found thus far and don't know if both will fit or just 1. I know the obvious choice is to get the ebuyer one below but its gonna be a real bummer if I can't save that extra £50+ by going with the other one from BuyTech.

 

Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5405 / 2 GHz ( 1333 MHz ) - Ebuyer:

Intel Xeon (E5405) Quad Core Processor 1333MHz FSB (2U Passive)

http://www.buytech.co.uk/product.php?productid=131150

 

The thing I am confused about is 2 things:

 

1. BuyTech CPU says "2U passive" (DL160G5 is a 1U Server)

2. Product Codes are different:

Ebuyer #: 446077-B21

BuyTech #: BX80574E5405P

 

Id like to know what your thoughts are, Will both cpu's fit or just one?

I would advise going with Buytech for the saving, and pickup an identical HP heatsink to keep things uniform.

 

Heatsink info:

ProLiant DL160 G5 Processor Heatsink - Spares Kit 457881-001 (SPS-Heatsink DL160).

 

The heatsink version from Buytech is passive, however, they're saving it's a 2u passive heatsink, in which case it won't work in a 1u form factor.

 

There are also HP processor upgrade kits that include the heatsink and the E5405 which can be had fairly reasonably, especially on ebay in the US.

Or you could just buy this..

and be done with it.

 

 

Search part# BX80574E5405A and it will return results you are looking for.
