IBM Xeon E5-2650 v2 server processor

The refurbished IBM 46W2840 delivers an eight-core Xeon E5-2650 v2 running at 2.6 GHz with 20 MB Smart Cache. It fits the FCLGA2011 socket and supports DDR3 memory at 1866 MHz. This processor targets IT teams maintaining or expanding existing dual-socket servers that require the 95 W thermal envelope.

Thermals and power draw in normal use

The 22 nm design operates at a 95 W TDP, so cooling solutions rated for that envelope handle typical workloads without excess noise. Under sustained load the chip stays within its rated power, keeping fan speeds moderate in properly ventilated chassis. The 8 GT/s QPI link adds minimal thermal overhead during inter-socket traffic.

Questions about this item

How do I install this FCLGA2011 Xeon processor and what step is often missed?

Align the notches on the 2011-land socket, lower the CPU gently without forcing it, then close the load plate and engage the lever; the step many miss is applying a pea-sized dot of thermal paste on the heat-spreader before mounting the cooler.

What maintenance or replacement will this 95 W DDR3-1866 server CPU need later?

Plan to replace the thermal compound every two to three years and clean dust from the heatsink fins; the processor itself has no moving parts, but the system fan and chassis filters should be checked quarterly to keep the 95 W TDP within safe temperatures.
