Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 12-Core 2.70GHz 30MB 130W FCLGA2011 CPU Accessory

SKU CH-2VBX-CW0DA

12-core Xeon processor running at 2.70 GHz with 30 MB cache and 130 W TDP for FCLGA2011 sockets

  • 12 cores handle heavy multi-threaded workloads
  • 70 GHz base clock delivers consistent processing speed
  • 30 MB smart cache reduces data-access latency
  • Hyper-Threading Technology doubles logical thread count
  • 130 W TDP fits standard server cooling envelopes

Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 12-Core Processor

The Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 is a 12-core server processor operating at a base frequency of 2.70 GHz. It features 30 MB of cache and a thermal design power of 130 W. The CPU uses the FCLGA2011 socket interface and includes Intel Hyper-Threading Technology.

Suited for multi-threaded server workloads

This processor suits environments that rely on high core counts for virtualisation or compute-intensive tasks. The 12 cores and Hyper-Threading support parallel execution across demanding applications. Buyers who need lower power consumption or a different socket interface should consider other options.

130 W thermal design power

The 130 W TDP determines the cooling solution and power delivery required for stable operation. System builders must ensure the chassis and motherboard can sustain this thermal envelope. This single specification dictates whether the part fits the target platform.

Questions about this item

How do I install the FCLGA2011 socket processor correctly, and what step is often missed?

Align the notches on the processor with the socket keys, lower it straight down without force, then close the retention lever fully; the step often missed is verifying the lever locks completely flush before applying thermal paste.

What maintenance or replacement will the Xeon E5-2697 v2 need over time?

The 130W TDP requires periodic thermal paste renewal and heatsink cleaning to maintain 2.70GHz stability; the processor itself has no user-serviceable parts and is replaced only if it fails.

Which limit appears first during sustained 12-core workloads on this 30MB cache CPU?

The 130W thermal envelope is the first constraint; prolonged full-load operation pushes the package toward its thermal ceiling, triggering throttling before other subsystems saturate.
