I am an IT Student and just recently bought an HP Proliant DL360 G7 for my Homelab. Now I wanted to upgrade the CPU Power a bit and was a surprised to find that my CPU, an Intel Xeon X5679 which was built into my Server, is not on the compatibility list...
My question to you more experienced guys would be, is it smart to buy a second one (same CPU) although it is not really on the compatibility list but works so far without any issues. Or do you See some complications heading my way if I do decide to do so? As for the power consumption, which I see as a possible concern, this CPU is in the same range as the Intel Xeon X5690 which is listed.
