Refurbished Xeon E5-2630L v2 upgrade

This refurbished HPE 715230-B21 processor upgrade adds a hexa-core Intel Xeon E5-2630L v2 running at 2.40 GHz to compatible servers. It delivers six cores with 15 MB of L3 cache and 1.50 MB of L2 cache for multi-threaded workloads. The 22 nm design supports 64-bit processing and includes a 7.20 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect link.

Suits density-focused server refreshes

IT teams refreshing HPE Gen8 platforms that require the E5-2600 v2 family and a lower thermal profile will find this part matches the original specification. Buyers who need more cores, higher clock speeds or a newer instruction set should look at a different processor family. The green colouring identifies the tray for visual sorting in the spares bin.

Deciding spec is the 2.40 GHz base clock

The 2.40 GHz base frequency with a 2.80 GHz overclocking speed determines whether this CPU fits the performance envelope of the target workload. Systems that depend on a higher sustained frequency or a different core count will not be served by this model. Verify the server service guide lists 715230-B21 as a supported upgrade before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.40 GHz Xeon E5-2630L v2 drop into my existing S socket motherboard without a BIOS update?

The processor uses the S socket; compatibility depends on your board's supported CPU list and BIOS revision.

How can I verify the hexa-core 2.40 GHz processor is running at its 2.80 GHz overclocking speed under load?

Monitor core frequencies in the OS or BIOS during a sustained workload; all six cores should reach 2.80 GHz if thermal headroom allows.

Does the 715230-B21 box include a heatsink or thermal paste, or must I source them separately?

Only the processor upgrade is supplied; a compatible heatsink and thermal compound must be purchased separately.
