HP Recommended
Product: Z600
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi Guys, 


First time here, I don't have an issue but a requirement to upgrade a workstation that I'm using at the moment. 

I have purchased an Z600 some time ago and I would like to speed it up a bit. 


I am not sure what parts should i get in terms of Memory and CPU - without upgrading the motherboard. So basically I need as much speed as i can get with the current motherboard, unless ofc price of the upgrade exceeds reasonable levels...

 

I'll attach some pictures so hopefully i'll get some recomendations. 

In terms of BIOS upgrade, should I do it to V.3.61, but I'm not sure how this is safely done, is this an sequential upgrade, so Do I need to upgrade it first to v3.60? 

 

If I do end up installing 2x X5690 do I need to get other (better) fans to cool them down? Not doing anything resources hungry but in case they need a chill, what do you recommend?

For memory I am interested in idealy 6x ECC REG -1333 Mhz if this is possible. 

 

Here is some info about my rig. 

Before I mess up the bios upgrade,what method do you reccomend and how do you safely care this one out?

Hopefully i'm not asking for too much! :OpenSmile:

Kind regards, 


Riv
