Refurbished Xeon E5-2680 v3 processor upgrade

This HPE 726639-B21 is a refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processor upgrade featuring 12 cores at 2.50 GHz. It uses the LGA 2011-v3 socket and has a thermal design power of 120 W. The part is intended for compatible HP ProLiant server maintenance.

Suits LGA 2011-v3 server refreshes, not new builds

This processor suits administrators refreshing existing HP ProLiant ML350 Gen9 systems that already use the LGA 2011-v3 platform. Buyers needing a modern socket, current instruction sets or a new-build foundation should look at something else.

12 cores and 30 MB L3 cache for virtualised

The 12 cores and 30 MB L3 cache provide headroom for virtualised data centre tasks and private cloud deployments. Turbo reaches 3.30 GHz for burst demand, while the 120 W TDP and 84.5 °C thermal limit define the cooling envelope.

Questions about this item

Which server socket must I already have to install the Xeon E5-2680 v3 12-core processor?

The processor fits Socket LGA 2011-v3, so the host server must provide that socket.

Will the 120 W thermal design power work with the cooling in my HP ProLiant ML350 Generation9?

The ML350 Gen9 is listed as compatible, and its standard heatsinks are rated for 120 W TDP.

How can I confirm the 2.50 GHz base clock and 3.30 GHz turbo are active after installation?

Check the processor speed in the system BIOS or run lscpu; it will show 2.50 GHz base and 3.30 GHz max turbo.
