IBM 00KF584 switch module Xeon 18-core 2.3 GHz 45 MB 145 W

SKU CH-VV0H-T79NF MPN 00KF584

An 18-core Xeon processor running at 2.3 GHz with 45 MB cache and 145 W TDP

  • 18-core Xeon handles heavy parallel workloads
  • 3 GHz base clock delivers steady compute throughput
  • 45 MB L3 cache reduces latency for large datasets
  • 6 GT/s QPI speed enables fast inter-processor communication

Processor module for dense compute

The IBM 00KF584 is a refurbished switch module built around an Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processor with 18 cores running at 2.3 GHz and 45 MB of L3 cache. It uses a 22 nm design and fits the FCLGA2011-3 socket with a 9.6 GT/s QPI link. This module targets system integrators upgrading compatible IBM blade or rack platforms that require high core counts in a single socket.

145 W TDP demands robust cooling

At 145 W the chip generates substantial heat under sustained loads, so the host chassis must provide adequate airflow and a heatsink rated for this thermal envelope. Fan speed will rise noticeably during heavy multi-threaded workloads, increasing audible noise in quiet environments. Power draw scales with core utilisation, so idle or light tasks consume considerably less. Buyers without a validated cooling solution should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How is the Xeon E5-2699 v3 installed in the FCLGA2011-3 socket, and what step is often missed?

Align the 18-core processor notches with the socket keys, lower it gently, and close the retention lever fully; the step often missed is applying fresh thermal paste before mounting the heatsink.

What maintenance or replacement will the 145 W Xeon need later?

Expect to replace the thermal interface material every few years and verify that the system cooling can sustain 145 W continuously; the processor itself has no user-serviceable parts.
