Six-core Xeon processor for servers

This IBM 46W9142 unit is a new Intel Xeon E5-2630L v2 server processor with six cores and twelve threads. It runs at 2.4 GHz and carries 15 MB of L3 cache. The part is sold as a bare processor without a cooling device.

Low-power server builds only

The 60 W thermal design power suits dense or power-constrained server configurations that use the LGA 771 socket. It is not for desktop PCs, workstations or any system that cannot accommodate a bare OEM processor.

LGA 771 socket requirement

The processor fits only motherboards with an LGA 771 socket and a compatible server chipset. Buyers must verify that their server board supports this specific Xeon model before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install this LGA 771 Xeon processor, and what step is often missed?

Align the notches on the processor with the socket keys, lower it straight down without forcing, then close the retention lever; the step often missed is applying thermal paste before mounting the heatsink, which is not included.

What maintenance or replacement will this 60 W Xeon need later?

The processor itself has no moving parts, but the separate heatsink and fan assembly must be kept free of dust and its thermal paste refreshed every few years to maintain the 60 W thermal envelope.

What limit appears first when this 6-core Xeon runs at sustained load?

The 60 W thermal design power is the first constraint; if the cooling solution cannot dissipate that heat continuously, the processor will throttle below its 2.4 GHz base frequency.
