HPE Xeon E5-2680 v3 12-core processor upgrade
This refurbished HPE processor upgrade adds a 12-core Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 to compatible servers. It runs at a 2.50 GHz base frequency with a 3.30 GHz turbo speed. The 22 nm chip includes 30 MB of L3 cache and fits the LGA 2011-v3 socket.
Suits HP XL2X0 Gen9 servers needing 12 cores
This module is designed for HP XL2X0 Gen9 platforms that accept a 120 W TDP processor. It is not for systems requiring a different socket or a lower thermal envelope. Buyers needing higher core counts or newer architectures should look elsewhere.
Socket LGA 2011-v3 compatibility decides fit
The processor only works in motherboards wired for the LGA 2011-v3 interface. Verify the server board lists this socket before purchase. The 120 W thermal design power also requires adequate cooling capacity in the chassis.

Questions about this item
Which server chassis must already be present for the 768598-B21 processor upgrade to fit?
The upgrade is listed as compatible with the HP XL2X0 GEN9 platform, so that server chassis must already be in place.
Will the E5-2680 v3 operate correctly if the existing system board uses the LGA 2011-v3 socket and 22 nm process technology?
Yes, the processor is built for the LGA 2011-v3 socket and 22 nm process, matching boards designed for the E5-2600 v3 series.
How can I confirm the Xeon is running at its rated 2.50 GHz base clock after installation?
Check the system BIOS or operating-system CPU utility; it should report a base frequency of 2.50 GHz and a turbo frequency up to 3.30 GHz.
