There is a German Hardware Forum (not related to HP) which did alot of testing with the MicroServer and different combinations of CPU's, etc. but they also only list the V2 version of that CPU so I would recommend to either use that or any other they list:

Another website with tested CPU's (not tested by HPE!): http://homeservershow.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5639-proliant-microserver-gen8-links/#entry62204

 

But still better ask in the HPE Forum for a (officially) supported solution.

Thanks rmayer!!

I have done some research and the v2 means Ivy Bridge. V3 is Haswell, etc. Since Sandy Bridge is backward compatible with Ivy Bridge and use the same socket it should probably be fine but I'll stick with the IB chips. I have got two server on eBay already upgraded and watching. Even used server IB processors are a bit expensive so it's better to get it done for cheap.

Thanks a lot for both of you!!
