Refurbished Xeon E5-2670 for dual-socket servers

This refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2670 is an 8-core, 16-thread server processor built on the 32 nm Sandy Bridge-EP architecture. It operates at a base frequency of 2.6 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.3 GHz and features 20MB of L3 cache. The CPU fits the FCLGA2011 socket and has a thermal design power of 115W.

Suits maintenance of DDR3 platforms.

This processor suits administrators maintaining existing dual-socket servers that require FCLGA2011 compatibility and DDR3 1600 memory support. It provides 16 threads for virtualisation workloads and supports PCI Express 3.0 connectivity. It does not suit builders assembling new systems or those requiring higher memory speeds, newer instruction sets, or lower power envelopes.

FCLGA2011 socket and DDR3 1600 controller decide fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the FCLGA2011 socket paired with the integrated DDR3 1600 memory controller. The motherboard must provide this exact socket and support DDR3 memory at this speed. Cooling is not included, so a suitable 115W thermal solution must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.6 GHz base clock mean for multi-threaded server workloads?

The 8 cores and 16 threads run at 2.6 GHz base frequency, scaling to 3.3 GHz max turbo when thermal headroom allows, delivering consistent throughput for virtualisation and database tasks.

How does the PCI Express 3.0 interface limit GPU or storage expansion?

The processor provides PCI Express 3.0 lanes, capping each lane at 8 GT/s; total lane count depends on the motherboard chipset, so check the board specification for slot allocation.

What cooler mounting and clearance does the FCLGA2011 socket require?

The FCLGA2011 socket uses the standard ILM pattern with 80 mm × 80 mm screw spacing; a cooler rated for at least 115 W TDP and compatible with narrow-ILM brackets is needed.
