IBM Xeon DP X5670 2.93 GHz Processor Upgrade
This refurbished IBM processor upgrade brings the Intel Xeon DP X5670 to compatible LGA-1366 platforms. It delivers four cores running at 2.93 GHz with 12 MB of L3 cache and a 95 W thermal design power. The part is aimed at IT teams extending the service life of existing Xeon 5600-series servers or workstations.
Replaces earlier Xeon 5600 series CPUs
The upgrade steps up from dual-core or lower-clocked quad-core models in the same socket family. It adds QuickPath Interconnect at 6.40 GT/s and the 32 nm process for higher throughput per watt. The jump is worth it when workloads need more parallel threads without changing motherboards or memory.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous operation the processor runs within a 95 W envelope at 1.3 V DC. The thermal specification reaches 81.3 °C, so adequate server airflow is required to maintain clocks during long render or compute jobs. Performance scales with the 12 MB shared L3 cache when all four cores stay busy.

Questions about this item
Will the LGA-1366 socket on my board accept this X5670 processor?
Yes, the X5670 uses Socket B LGA-1366, so it fits any motherboard with that socket.
What is the correct way to apply thermal paste when installing this 95 W Xeon?
Place a pea-sized dot in the centre of the heat-spreader; the cooler pressure spreads it evenly — too much paste traps heat.
How often should I replace the thermal interface on a 32 nm quad-core running at 2.93 GHz?
Re-paste every two to three years or whenever the cooler is removed, because the 1.3 V DC chip dries out compound faster than lower-power parts.
