About this part
Refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3, a 12-core, 24-thread processor for LGA 2011-3 two-socket servers. The Xeon E5-2600 v3 series is Intel's Haswell-EP generation for the Grantley (C610) platform, with four DDR4 channels and 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes per CPU. It is an older platform that still earns its place in fleet capacity adds and lab builds.

Compatibility
This Haswell-EP part fits LGA 2011-3 Grantley boards only, not LGA 2011 (E5 v2) or LGA 3647 sockets. It runs memory at up to DDR4-2133, stepping down at 3 DIMMs per channel. The R530 has 12 DIMM slots, not 24. At 120 W it stays on HPE's standard heatsink; the high-performance heatsink starts above 120 W. v3 and v4 cannot be mixed in one server. In a two-socket build, run a matched pair: the same SKU in both sockets. Browse matching parts for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9.
When to Choose This
The 2680 v3 is the highest-clocked 12-core v3 part that stays within 120 W, the balanced choice for VMware and Hyper-V hosts, SQL Server and general application servers. For more clock at the same core count, the E5-2690 v3 runs 2.6 GHz base and 3.5 GHz turbo but needs 135 W and the high-performance heatsink. For more cores at 120 W, the E5-2695 v3 gives 14.
