The CPU was chosen as it had among the highest turbo clock speeds for LGA1366. That was a system done for fun for the lowest possible cost, starting as a low specification T3500 that cost $36. I had a Dell Precision T3500, which was the Dell similar- single CPU only- to the z400:ĭell Precision T3500 (2011) (Rev 4) Xeon X5677 4-core 3.46 / 3.73GHz > 12GB (6X 2GB) DDR3-1333 ECC > Firepro V4900 (1GB) > PERC 6/i + Seagate 300GB 15K SAS ST3300657SS + WD Black 500GB > 525W PSU> Windows 7 Professional 64-bit In matters of RAM, the X58 runs in triple channel and the best results are to use sets of three identical modules. It appears the fastest (in 3D) GPU in the z400 is the GTX 1070 and fastest Workstation GPU is the Radeon Pro WX7100. but the baselines can be searched by any parameter.Īs appears to be the case with most X58 systems, the Xeon W3690 6-core does very well. The screen above was searched by system rating.
The first two listings are actually z420's, but it's possible to see which components do well in the z400. Here are the 50 highest rated HP z400's of 1.273 tested: Passmark also has I think over 1,000,000 benchmark baselines for comparison. Because this test includes scores for individual components, that is of help to find individual components with lower than expected performance. If you are inclined to do so, consider running Passmark Performance Test- there is a free 30-day fully functional trial. Please list the components of the z400 and in particular, the exact CPU, RAM, GPU, and drives.
