6-Core LGA 771 Server Processor

This Intel Xeon E5-2630L v2 operates at 2.4 GHz with 15 MB L3 cache and 12 threads. It fits LGA 771 sockets and supports DDR3 1866 memory. The 60 W thermal design power suits dense server deployments where power budgets are tight.

Sustained 60 W Thermal Envelope

With a 60 W TDP and matching average CPU power, the chip maintains its 2.4 GHz base frequency under continuous multi-threaded workloads. The 7.2 GT/s QPI links keep data moving between sockets without throttling during extended compute runs.

LGA 771 Platform and DDR3 Memory Required

Verify your motherboard uses the LGA 771 socket and accepts DDR3 modules rated for 1866 MT/s. The processor ships without a heatsink or fan, so a compatible server cooler must be sourced separately. This part is intended for server mainboards only and will not work in desktop systems.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 60 W TDP of this E5-2630L v2 generate under continuous load?

The thermal design power is 60 W, so a server heatsink rated for at least that dissipation is required for all-day operation.

Which socket and memory must already be present to install this 46W2849 processor?

It fits an LGA 771 socket and needs DDR3 modules running at 1866 MT/s; no cooler is included in the package.

Will the 7.2 GT/s QPI link of this six-core Xeon work with older dual-socket boards?

The processor communicates at 7.2 GT/s QPI, so the system board must support that exact link speed for proper operation.
