Hello Guys!
I am very keen on building a cheap workstation/gaming pc with 2 older quad core Xeon inside but before i even start getting all the necessary components i would like your help and suggestions on this
So the build i was thinking is this:
CPU: 2x Xeon e5410 2.33GHz SLBBC
Mobo: Dell Precision T5400 RW203
Ram: 16GB ECC DDR2 667MHz
VGA: Nvidia GT430 i already have
PSU: 600Watt Corsair
So i have some questions on this:
1) Because i have seen different codes and steppings for this CPU, will these two work on this motherboard for sure?
2) Can i use this motherboard on any regular atx case? (i have a Thermaltake Soprano that i might use)
3) Will i need some extra psu cables apart from the regular 24pin etc for the motherboard?
4) By looking at an image of this motherboard i cannot find where the cables of the power and reset button should be connected, should i expect a different way to do that or is it the same like in a regular PC?
5) Is it possible to use a modern VGA like GTX970 for example or will i have problems?
6) Is it possible to use an SSD on this build?
7) What type of RAM do you suggest for this build? ECC or FB-DIMM
Sorry for the long post
and thank you for your
