You need to ask Dell what processors are compatible WITH THEIR BIOS. Then, you can select from those processors.

An upgrade processor must be socket, chipset, AND BIOS compatible. Only dell can tell you that.

RALbi, I'm in the same spot as you were. Were you ever able get the E5-2600 v2 processor to work in your t320?

Then, I would install the bios, then install the processor.
