About this part
Refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2690 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 135 W it needs HPE's high-performance heatsink, plus the high-performance fan kit in the 1U DL360 Gen9; in the Dell PowerEdge R630, use the high-TDP heatsink. 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 Dell PowerEdge R730.
When to Choose This
The 2690 v3 is the fastest 12-core v3 part: 2.6 GHz base, 3.5 GHz turbo and 30 MB of cache. It suits database servers and virtualization hosts where faster cores earn their keep. The cost is 135 W and the cooling requirements above. If you want more cores, the E5-2697 v3 gives 14 at the same 2.6 GHz base for 145 W; the E5-2680 v3 is the cooler 120 W option.
