Intel Xeon E5530 2.4 GHz 80 W switch module

SKU CH-HQGW-JCRVQ

Quad-core Xeon processor at 2.4 GHz with 8 MB L3 cache for LGA 1366 servers

  • Quad-core design handles parallel workloads efficiently
  • 4 GHz clock speed delivers responsive processing performance
  • 8 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency for faster data access
  • 80 W thermal design power balances performance with energy efficiency

Xeon E5530 quad-core server processor

The Intel Xeon E5530 is a quad-core processor running at 2.4 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 8 MB L3 cache. It targets administrators upgrading or repairing LGA 1366 servers that require an 80 W TDP part. The 45 nm design delivers 5.86 GT/s QPI for dual-socket configurations.

Drop-in LGA 1366 installation

The processor seats directly into a Socket B (LGA 1366) board; no adapter or firmware update is needed beyond standard BIOS support. Installers must apply thermal compound and verify cooler clearance because the package ships without a heatsink. Buyers needing an integrated graphics block or a lower-power envelope should select a different SKU.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Xeon E5530 is running at the correct 2.4 GHz clock speed after installation?

Enter the system BIOS or use a hardware monitoring utility to confirm the processor reports a core frequency of 2.4 GHz and a QPI link speed of 5.86 GT/s.

The listing says Processor Only — what exactly ships in the box and which cooling parts must I source separately?

Only the Xeon E5530 processor is included; you must supply a compatible LGA1366 heatsink rated for at least 80 W TDP and thermal paste.
