HP Xeon E5-2620 v2 Server Processor

The HP 709493-B21 is a six-core server CPU built for LGA 2011 platforms. It targets data-centre administrators who need reliable 64-bit compute for virtualisation hosts, cloud nodes or high-performance workstations. The 2.10 GHz base frequency and 7.20 GT/s QPI link provide balanced throughput for multi-threaded workloads. This new component suits fleets standardising on the Xeon E5-2600 v2 family.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

Rated at 80 W TDP, the 22 nm die runs cool enough for dense rack deployments without exotic cooling. Typical server airflow keeps temperatures stable under sustained load, and fan curves remain quiet in normal operation. The modest power envelope helps contain electricity costs across large clusters. No liquid cooling or high-static-pressure fans are required for standard chassis.

Upgrade Path and Value

This processor replaces earlier Xeon E5-2600 series parts on the same socket, delivering higher cache and lower power per core. The 15 MB L3 cache and 1.50 MB L2 cache reduce latency for database and virtualisation tasks. The jump is worth it when consolidating older dual-socket boxes onto fewer, more efficient nodes. It does not suit builds needing newer instruction sets, higher core counts or different socket infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How do I install the HP 709493-B21 Xeon E5-2620 v2 into an LGA 2011 socket without bending pins?

Align the gold triangle on the processor with the socket corner, lower it straight down without pressure, then close the retention lever fully; the step people miss is skipping the alignment check before locking the lever.

What maintenance will the Xeon E5-2620 v2 need after long-term operation at 80W TDP?

Replace the thermal paste every two to three years and clean dust from the heatsink fins; the 22 nm die runs at 80W so dried paste raises temperatures faster than on lower-power chips.

Which limit appears first when the Xeon E5-2620 v2 runs sustained loads at 2.10 GHz?

The 80W thermal ceiling hits before the 7.20 GT/s QPI link saturates, so the processor throttles frequency to stay within its power envelope during prolonged heavy work.
