PowerEdge R760 Server
Dell PowerEdge R760 — Refurbished & Custom-Built
The Dell PowerEdge R760 (commonly shortened to Dell R760) is Dell’s 16th-generation dual-socket 2U flagship — DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen5, and 4th/5th Gen Xeon Scalable processors for heavy virtualization, database, and AI-adjacent workloads. PC Server & Parts stocks the R760 as Dell Recertified / new open-box units and as Build-Your-Own configurations: every server is inspected, burn-in tested, and warrantied before it ships.

What the Dell R760 Is Best At
The R760 is the consolidation platform of the 16th generation: VMware / Proxmox clusters that replace several older hosts with one DDR5 box, SQL and in-memory databases that benefit from the memory bandwidth jump, GPU inference on the R760xa variant, and PCIe Gen5 NVMe storage tiers. If you want the newest PowerEdge platform without paying list price, Dell Recertified R760 stock is the shortcut.
Dell R760 vs Related Models
- Dell R750 — the 15th-gen predecessor: DDR4 and PCIe Gen4, meaningfully cheaper, still a virtualization staple.
- Dell R660 — the 1U 16th-gen sibling: the same DDR5 platform in half the rack space.
- Dell R770 — the 17th-gen successor on Xeon 6, for maximum runway.
Why Buy a Dell R760 from PCSP
PCSP has refurbished enterprise hardware for 17+ years from our Michigan facility. Our R760 inventory mixes Dell Recertified and new open-box units — servers that completed Dell’s factory remanufacturing process, typically from cancelled or never-deployed orders — with refurbished Build-Your-Own stock. Every unit is tested under load before dispatch, shipping is free on orders over $35 in the contiguous US, and orders placed before 1:00 pm EST ship the same business day. Volume pricing is available for multi-unit and cluster orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What CPUs does the Dell R760 support?
The R760 takes one or two 4th or 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Sapphire Rapids / Emerald Rapids) — Silver 4400/4500, Gold 5400–6500, and Platinum 8400/8500 series — up to 64 cores per socket with 5th Gen parts. Our configurators list tested CPU options with per-option pricing.
What is the difference between the Dell R750 and R760?
A full generation: the R760 moves to DDR5 memory (vs DDR4), PCIe Gen5 (vs Gen4), and 4th/5th Gen Xeon Scalable with higher core counts, plus newer PERC 11/12 controllers. The R750 remains the better price-per-core value; the R760 wins on memory bandwidth, I/O headroom, and support runway.
Are PCSP’s Dell R760 servers new or refurbished?
Both. Much of our R760 stock is Dell Recertified or new open-box — units that completed Dell’s second factory testing process after a cancelled or unused order. The rest are refurbished Build-Your-Own configurations assembled to your spec. Either way, every server is burn-in tested here before shipping, and the listing states the condition.
What warranty comes with a refurbished Dell R760?
Every configured Dell R760 ships with a free 1-year PCSP warranty covering replacement parts, labor, and shipping on covered failures. Coverage can be extended to up to 5 years at checkout, and on-site service tiers (8×5 next-business-day and 24×7×4) are available for production environments.
What if I don't see the Dell R760 configuration I need?
Every chassis links to a configurator where you select processors, RAM, storage, and networking, and each build is assembled and tested in our Michigan facility. Need something the configurator doesn’t show — specific drives, GPUs, an OS pre-install, or a bulk order? Submit a quote request and we’ll put the exact spec together.
