HPE Xeon E5-2680 v3 12-core upgrade

This refurbished HPE processor upgrade adds a 12-core Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 running at 2.50 GHz with a 3.30 GHz turbo frequency. It targets administrators refreshing compatible Generation9 servers to handle virtualised workloads and private cloud tasks. The 22 nm chip delivers 30 MB of L3 cache and 9.60 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect for multi-socket scaling.

Socket LGA 2011-v3 120 W thermal design

The processor fits the LGA 2011-v3 socket and carries a 120 W TDP with a maximum case temperature of 84.5 °C. Its 2.1 by 1.8 inch footprint matches the existing heatsink mounting pattern on supported ProLiant DL380 Generation9 boards. No additional power connectors are required beyond the standard socket supply.

ProLiant DL380 Gen9 compatibility confirmed

The part is validated for the HP ProLiant DL380 Generation9 platform, ensuring firmware recognition and thermal profiling without extra configuration. Buyers needing support for newer server generations or different socket types will not be served by this upgrade. The package contains the processor only; no heatsink or installation hardware is included.

Questions about this item

What does the 9.60 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect limit in a dual-socket server?

The 9.60 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect caps the data rate between two E5-2680 v3 CPUs, so memory and cache coherency traffic cannot exceed that bandwidth.

What socket and clearance does the 2.1 by 1.8 inch LGA 2011-v3 package require?

The processor fits Socket LGA 2011-v3 and needs a heatsink that covers the 2.1 by 1.8 inch package within the server chassis.

How is the 762766-B21 installed in a ProLiant DL380 Gen9 and what step is often missed?

Align the notches, seat the CPU in the LGA 2011-v3 socket, close the load plate, then apply thermal paste before mounting the heatsink — skipping the paste causes overheating.
