This server currently has dual E5-2630 cpus at a TDP of 95W. It has 192gb of ram (16gbx12). I just pulled the 20 300gb sas and 4 dell ssd drives and replaced with 24 samsung 883dct drives that consume roughly half the wattage of the sas drives. What CPU TDP can I safely upgrade to without exceeding the capacity of the dual 750w power supplies?
