Intel Xeon E5420 processor for LGA 771 servers
The Intel Xeon E5420 is a quad-core processor running at 2.5 GHz with 12 MB of L2 cache. It uses a 1333 MHz front-side bus and is built on a 45 nm process with an 80 W thermal design power. This unit is the processor only, intended for compatible server and workstation boards.
Verify Socket J (LGA 771) and 80 W cooling capacity
Confirm the motherboard provides a Socket J (LGA 771) socket and supports a 1333 MHz front-side bus. Ensure the cooling solution and power delivery can handle an 80 W TDP processor. Buyers needing a different socket, higher core count, or lower power envelope should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Does the Intel Xeon E5420 processor come with a heatsink or do I need to buy one separately?
The listing specifies processor only, so a compatible LGA771 heatsink must be purchased separately.
Is the 80 W TDP version the only option or is a lower-power variant available?
Only the 80 W model is listed; no alternative TDP version is offered for this E5420.
