- In today's video I embark on a mission to max out the CPU and RAM capabilities of my PowerEdge T430 server!
I learned the Intel Xeon E5-2699v4 CPUs are actually NOT compatible with T430 servers...
💡 Who this video is for:
- People who are interested in building a budget home server setup
- Anyone upgrading a PowerEdge T430 server
- Tech enthusiasts building their first home lab
- Users interested in NAS and media servers

I've been on the lookout for content like this! Subscribed, and I'm ready to believe in myself! - "Self-belief is your greatest asset."
Heck yeah dude glad to see you working through issues! Breaking stuff is the best way to learn that anger/disappointment sticks with you better in my experience haha.
If you ever need network advise I'd be happy to help, network engie of five years at your service ❤
Anyway keep up the good work!!
Thanks for following along, it means a lot!
I need to learn more about setting up vlans in preparation for my poe security camera project. If you have any insights on best practices / resources about vlans it would help a ton!
@@dleer_defi definitely recommend trying everything out in a virtualized network first; and I always recommend OPNSense as it's relatively easy to use. Otherwise Cisco has courses you can take online! Packet tracer and gns3 are both great ways to learn by using a virtual network as well.
I have an HPE Proliant DL360 G9, which is pretty much the HP version of your T430 and according to the documentation shows that there is a special configured board to support that particular chip. It warns that only the DL360 originally sold with those processors will work with them. I think it's the traces on the board that were manufactured to support that much power are much thicker and are capable of supporting that much power, vs the other versions that warn not to use those particular processors.
I wouldn't recommend using those processors on that board as it could cause the traces to burn up and do very bad things to the board and all the other cards and components connected to that board.
Thanks for the insights John! Luckily I found a perfect project for the dual e5-2699's so I don't need to worry about trying to finagle those cpus in my T430 anymore 🤣
The difference is most likely a bios update
I made sure bios and lifecycle control had the latest updates when troubleshooting. All of the T430 servers that I found for sale with E5-2699v4 CPUs feature the 750W or 1110W hot plug power supplies. Perhaps the issue could be solved with a PSU upgrade on my end.
Most likely, you'll have to patch your bios to be compatible with that sku. You can also try the bios from the model with the actual CPUs. Or extract the info from there. In bios-mods you can find how or maybe it's already there patched
@@SkillisForNoobs interesting… I was under the impression the bios on dell poweredge servers is pretty restricted and selecting an older bios version would cause security risks.
All that being said, I found a really good deal on a server that will accommodate the E5-2699v4s perfectly. So I don’t get to have fun trying to troubleshoot em on the T430 😢
the max power cpu that can be installed the e5-2699v4
the e5-2699av4 am i a joke to you
Daaaaang! That model doesn’t even show up on my E5-2600v4 family data tables 😂
What do you run on your servers?
Plex server supporting 10 users, NAS, backup NAS, Minecraft Java server with up to 200 players, two pi-holes, several random Linux VMs and my trading bots / market making bots.
I have a few projects coming up that will expand my capabilities big time though!
try to undervolt the CPU
Afaik there are a lot of restrictions around what you can do in bios / lifecycle controller. I did adjust a TDP setting but it didn’t have an impact.
