Go to SolutionT7810 Cpu Change
I have a T7810 which I installed a second Xeon E5-2640-v4 to get more speed, did not improve much, i want to know if i can install I7-6900K processors in place of the Xeons I have now and if they would improve the speed i would like to have.

The improvement depends also on the program used on them... you should get a 30/35% extra with the 2nd cpu. Have you kept an eye on the loads when running your usual tasks ?

@mazzinia_ Thank you, i did not check any speed increase, i bought it with one cpu and just put the second one in. Thanks again for your input.

@Chino de Oro Thanks for the advise on the Xeon E5-2680v4, would that be the fastest Xeon upgrade, not concerned about the heat.

@Simon1942 Ah, I assumed you checked comparing usual tasks ( like rendering ).
Your mileage may vary depending on the software you run. By example going on trivial, some games could take advantage of all cores, but lot of games do not... you still would see an improvement by running more tasks at the same time ( in that case ).
Again, this is just an example.If you tell us what kind of programs you run normally, we could offer a more correct estimate, probably.

@Simon1942 , for the fastest Xeon upgrade, I believe that would be Xeon E5-2699a V4.

Unfortunately, have not seen any users validate with the attempts. Maybe because the Xeon supports by the chipset and memory for T7810 supports RDIMM ECC memory while the i7-6900K can't..
With today dirt cheap prices, you may consider to upgrade your system to a pair of E5-2680 v4. While they are not the top performance, the low TDP of 120w will keep dual processors running cooler during workload.
