I am looking to upgrade the CPU in my PowerEdge T710. I have a socket-b mobo with a 2.4GHz Intel Xeon E5530 in there now. I am hoping to get something over 3.4 GHz to replace it with. I was told a X5677 would work but I get an error "This CPU power rating is not supported". The E5530 CPU is an 80 watt and the X5677 is 130 watts. Is there a way to change the BIOS config or should I be looking for another CPU?
