Are there any 'low' power platforms that can utilise DDR3 RDIMMS?

Hi

I've currently got 4 LGA 1366 servers operating in a cluster in my homelab, however I'm now in the process of reducing their usage for various reasons including power. As a result of the downsizing I've got in the region of 128GB of DDR3 RDIMMS. I'd like to keep at least one server for virtualisation as well as my xpenology server and I'm trying to get to a lower power state, somewhere around 50w ideally.

I'm aware of the Xeon E3s doing this along with Atom and Xeon-D platforms but the E3/Atom do not support rdimms and the Xeon D cpu can but no motherboard has been produced as far as I am aware.

Does anybody know, outside of the E5-2600 v1/2 and 3 series that can support the RDimms? In NZ the resale value will be low so I'd rather use them then try and sell them at this stage.

Cheers

Chris
