Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 10-core 3.00 GHz FCLGA2011

SKU CH-2RYG-9J756

Ten-core Xeon processor with 20 threads, 25 MB cache and a 3.60 GHz turbo boost for multi-threaded workloads

  • 10 cores and 20 threads handle heavy multi-threaded workloads
  • 25 MB cache accelerates data access for demanding applications
  • 00 GHz base clock with 3.60 GHz turbo boost delivers responsive performance
  • 130 W TDP balances power draw with high compute density
  • FCLGA2011 socket fits compatible server and workstation motherboards

Xeon E5-2690 v2 10-Core Processor

This Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 is a 10-core, 20-thread server processor designed for the FCLGA2011 socket. It operates at a base frequency of 3.00 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.60 GHz. The chip features 25M cache and an 8.00 GT/s QPI bus speed. It has a thermal design power of 130 W.

Suited for Multi-Threaded Server Workloads

This processor suits administrators upgrading compatible dual-socket servers or workstations that require high thread counts for virtualization. It supports Intel vTX and vTD for directed I/O virtualization. Buyers needing higher core counts or newer instruction sets should consider alternative options. Systems requiring lower power consumption may find the 130 W TDP unsuitable.

Standard FCLGA2011 Socket Installation

Installation follows standard LGA2011 procedures using a compatible retention mechanism and thermal paste. Ensure the motherboard BIOS supports this specific v2 stepping before fitting the CPU. A cooler rated for at least 130 W TDP is required to prevent thermal throttling. Common issues include bent socket pins during handling and insufficient cooler mounting pressure.

Questions about this item

What motherboard socket is required for the Xeon E5-2690 v2?

The processor fits the FCLGA2011 socket, so the motherboard must provide that exact socket type.

Will the 130 W TDP of this Xeon work with my existing cooler rated for lower heat output?

A cooler must be rated for at least 130 W to handle the thermal design power of this 10-core chip.

How can I confirm the CPU is reaching its 3.60 GHz turbo frequency under load?

Monitor core clocks with a hardware utility; all 10 cores should hit 3.60 GHz when thermal and power headroom allow.
