Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 Series
Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 (Haswell-EP) and v4 (Broadwell-EP) processors — the CPUs behind Dell 13th-generation PowerEdge and HPE Gen9 servers, tested and matched by SKU.
Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 — Haswell & Broadwell Server CPUs
The Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 (Haswell-EP) and E5-2600 v4 (Broadwell-EP) series powered the most widely deployed server generation ever shipped — and used pulls are now the cheapest reliable compute per core you can buy. PC Server & Parts stocks single CPUs and matched 2x pairs across the range: from the entry E5-2603 v3 up to 18–22-core parts like the E5-2697 v4, E5-2698 v3 and E5-2699 v3, the volume favorites — Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4, E5-2630 v4 and E5-2650 v4 — and the high-frequency E5-2637, E5-2643 and E5-2687W SKUs. Every processor comes out of a working data-center environment and is tested in same-generation hardware before listing.

Which Servers & Workstations Take E5-2600 v3/v4
- Dell PowerEdge 13th gen: R630, R730, R730xd, T430/T630 — v3 out of the box, v4 after a BIOS update on early units.
- HPE ProLiant Gen9: DL360 Gen9, DL380 Gen9, ML350 Gen9 — same v3/v4 rule.
- Dual-socket workstations: Dell Precision T7810 / T7910, HP Z640 / Z840.
- Socket & memory: LGA 2011-3, quad-channel DDR4 ECC — up to 2133 MT/s on v3, 2400 MT/s on v4.
Refreshing the platform around the CPU? Pair it with DDR4 server memory, and remember a second socket always needs its own heatsink. The full selection lives in CPUs & Processors; moving to a current platform instead, see Intel Xeon Gold.
Why Buy E5-2600 CPUs from PCSP
- Tested before listing: every CPU is exercised in a same-generation server — all cores, rated clocks, memory controller.
- Matched pairs: 2x listings are same-stepping pairs ready for dual-socket boards.
- 90-day returns: DOA or non-conforming parts come back at our expense.
- Fast shipping: in-stock processors ship the same business day when ordered before 1:00 pm EST.
Quick Answers: Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4
Can I swap a v3 CPU for a v4 in the same server?
Yes — v3 (Haswell) and v4 (Broadwell) share socket LGA 2011-3, and every Dell 13th-gen and HPE Gen9 platform accepts both. Flash the BIOS/firmware to a v4-ready release before the swap, and never mix v3 and v4 in one dual-socket system — both processors must match.
What memory do E5-2600 v3/v4 CPUs use?
Quad-channel DDR4 ECC — registered RDIMMs or LRDIMMs in servers. v3 runs memory at up to 2133 MT/s and v4 at up to 2400 MT/s; DDR4-2400 modules simply clock down on v3, so they are safe to buy either way. See DDR4 server memory.
Are these CPUs covered by a warranty?
Loose processors follow our 90-day parts return policy: anything dead-on-arrival or non-conforming can be returned within 90 days for a full refund, with PCSP covering return shipping on defective items. A CPU has no moving parts and essentially does not wear out — every unit here is tested in real hardware before it ships.
