Refurbished Xeon E5-4620 processor upgrade

This refurbished HPE 679102-B21 upgrades compatible HPE servers with an Intel Xeon E5-4620 octa-core processor running at 2.20 GHz. It targets administrators who need to add processing capacity to existing E5-4600 platforms without purchasing new hardware. The unit arrives in green packaging as a processor accessory.

Eight cores at 2.20 GHz with 7.2 GT/s interconnect

The eight cores provide headroom for virtualization, cloud workloads and real-time transaction processing on supported systems. Performance scales with the 7.2 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect linking processor sockets. Workloads that demand higher clock speeds or more cores than eight will exceed this processor's envelope.

Drop-in upgrade for qualified HPE servers

The part is a direct processor upgrade for qualified HPE servers in the E5-4600 product family. No additional accessories or software are bundled; installation relies on the server's existing cooling and firmware. Buyers needing a newer microarchitecture or different socket must select a different upgrade path.

Questions about this item

Will the HPE 679102-B21 Xeon E5-4620 2.20 GHz processor work with my existing E5-4600 series motherboard?

The processor belongs to the Intel Xeon E5-4600 product family and uses the same socket and QuickPath Interconnect speed as other E5-4600 series CPUs, so it is compatible with motherboards designed for that series.

How can I verify the 8-core Xeon E5-4620 is running at its rated 2.20 GHz after installation?

Check the processor speed in the server BIOS or UEFI during POST, or use an operating system utility such as lscpu on Linux or Task Manager on Windows to confirm the 2.20 GHz clock speed and 8 cores are detected.

Does the HPE 679102-B21 Xeon E5-4620 upgrade kit include a heatsink or thermal paste, or must I buy them separately?

The kit contains the processor only; a compatible heatsink and thermal interface material are not included and must be sourced separately for your specific server chassis.
