HPE Xeon E5-2650 v2 2.60 GHz Processor Upgrade
The HPE 718358-B21 is a refurbished Intel Xeon processor upgrade featuring an 8-core design running at 2.60 GHz with a 3.40 GHz overclocking speed. It uses Socket R and 22 nm process technology. The unit includes 2 MB L2 cache and 20 MB L3 cache with 64-bit processing support.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This processor suits administrators upgrading compatible HPE servers in the E5-2600 v2 family needing eight cores for virtualisation or database workloads. Buyers requiring a different socket type, higher core counts or newer architecture generations should consider other options.
2.60 GHz base clock with 3.40 GHz overclocking speed
The base clock runs at 2.60 GHz and can reach 3.40 GHz under overclocking conditions. This frequency range determines the processing throughput available for compute-intensive tasks. Verify your server board supports these speeds before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I install the E5-2650 v2 in Socket R without bending pins?
Align the notches on the processor with the Socket R keying, lower it straight down without force, then close the retention lever until it clicks; the step people miss is skipping the lever's final latch, which leaves the CPU loose.
What maintenance will the Xeon E5-2650 v2 need over its service life?
Replace the thermal interface material whenever the heatsink is removed, and clean dust from the server's intake filters every six months to keep the 2.60 GHz cores within thermal limits.
Which limit appears first when the octa-core runs sustained workloads?
The 20 MB L3 cache saturates before the 8 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect becomes a bottleneck, so memory-bound tasks hit latency ceilings first.
