HP Z1 G3

Hi guys!

 

Does anyone know if it possible to update CPU in the HP Z1 G3 workstation with Xeon E3-1285V6 and ECC-memory? Now I have Core I7-6700.

 

Thank you!

No the motherboards are different from the Intel Core and Xeon models.

Maintance guide for this workstation says that "Intel® Series C236 chipset with: Support for the Intel® Xeon® Processor E3 v5 Family or 6th generation Intel® Core™ processors up to 80W.

 

BTW AFAIK for z2 g3 sure enough have differents MoBos for base and performance models and this noted in the quickspecs.

EvgenioZ,

 

There are 117 HP Z1 workstations tested on Passmark Performance Test of which 9 are G3.  There appear to be a number of different motherboards, the G3 model using 8115, corresponding to Xeon E3-12XX v5 and i7-6700.  The top CPU rating is 11119 for a HP Z1 G3 using a Xeon E3-1270 v5 and all the top four Z1 G3's all use that CPU, No. 5 and 6 are i7-6700 (10785), No.7 and 8 are again E3-1270 v5, and No. 9 uses Xeon E3-1245 v5 (10150), which is the lowest CPU rating for any Z1 G3.

 

The E3-1270 v5 4C@3.6/4.0Ghz has a Passmark average 10338 CPU mark and a quite good average single thread mark of 2170.

 

The top system rating for Z1 G3 is 4970 using the E3-1270 v5.

 

The Z1 G3 disk performance can be really excellent: Passmark Disk = 17250 with Samsung SM961 NVMe, the highest disk mark for any Z1.
