Experiments with different Intel Processors in a HPE ProLiant Microserver Gen8 – Part 4

Friday, May 20th, 2016

Still experimenting with different processors, and I came across this part random HPE Part Number 832667-001 – Heatsink 65W – For use with ProLiant Microserver, this is the larger heatsink which is supplied with the HPE ProLiant Microserver Gen8, supplied with an Intel Core i3-3240 processor, which has a TDP of 55 watts, which I mentioned in this blog – Experiments with different Intel Processors in a HPE ProLiant Microserver Gen8 – Part 2.

So I thought let’s get a shipment of these in to test and play with for shits and giggles!

Here are some photographs of the 65 watt heatsink for the Proliant Microserver Gen8








Some testing to do later with Core i3-3240 and Core i5-3470T.

Experiments with different Intel Processors in a HPE ProLiant Microserver Gen8 – Part 3

Saturday, May 7th, 2016

In a continuation of this series – Experiments with different Intel Processors in a HPE ProLiant Microserver Gen8 – Part 2, I imported a new processor from the US, see this blog – Purchasing items from eBay using the Global Shipping Program Part 2.

And in the box was a new Intel® Core™ i5-3470T Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz) to test and try with the HPE ProLiant Microserver Gen8, using ECC memory. So what’s the difference between a Core i3 and a Core i5?

This Core i5 has a slower clock speed, of 2.9GHz compared to the Core i3, 3240, has the same number of cores and threads, but it is only 35 watts compared to 55 watts, so a better match for the stock heatsink rated at 35 watt only. This is the T version of the processor, which is rather scarce compared to the non-T version which has a higher clock speed and wattage (77w).

From the”Intel Ark” – no ECC hey!
