T3620 e3-1270 v5 SR2LF not working

Hello,

there are 2 production versions of the e3-1270 v5. The first release is the SR2CP , that doesn't support SGX instructions. The 2nd release is the one you got , SR2LF, that supports SGX instructions.

Are you on the latest bios ? (it may be it works with the previous stepping and not with the newer one ). Can you give details about the orange code ? ( the pattern has meanings )

I found 2 faulty capacitors (if they are capacitors) under a microscope. Do you think they can be repaired or should they be thrown away?@mazzinia_  ​

@GLuigi​ if you have the proper equipment to work at those dimensions on surface mounted , I suppose yes.

This means a proper station, flux and such, microscope etc

A replacement cpu costs around 15 to 23 euro + shipping, by what I can see

@mazzinia_​ Does this PC support the e3-1270 v6 CPU?

By what I can see online, yes

example

Dell Inc. Precision Tower 3620 - Geekbench

Re:  The problem is that it doesn't work, the led is blinking orange. What could be the problem?

Very likely that you have upgrade with a faulty Xeon processor.

@mazzinia_  I installed an e3-1270 v6 CPU, the orange light blinks 2x briefly then 7x briefly. I have the same memory: 2x HMA41GU6AFR8N-TF - SK Hynix 1x 8GB DDR4-2133 UDIMM PC4-17000P-U Dual Rank x8 Module. I'm at a loss as to whether the CPU needs ECC RAM?

2 / 7 seems being a memory failure.

I'm accustomed using only ecc with xeons , I don't know if it should work with non-ecc too

Have you tried with one dimm only ?

@mazzinia_​  2x 8GB, the same ones that work with the i7-6700.

@GLuigi​ yep, as I said personally I'm accustomed at using only ecc with xeons
