Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3, a 6 core LGA2011-3 server processor at 1.90GHz with 15MB cache and 85W rating, for Dell R630 and R730.
The Xeon E5-2609 v3 is the entry processor of Intel's E5 v3 family, the Haswell generation for the LGA2011-3 socket. It has six cores without Hyper-Threading, a fixed 1.90GHz clock with no Turbo Boost, 15MB of Smart Cache and an 85W thermal rating, and it supports DDR4 memory at 1600 MT/s. It is compatible with the Dell PowerEdge R630 and R730 and with HPE Gen9 servers. It is the refurbished processor buyers in Qatar fit when a server needs a second processor purely to activate memory slots and PCIe lanes, or when a low cost, low power processor is enough for a file, backup or management server. ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock for those builds.
CPU-INTEL-E5-2609V3Will it fit my system?
The models named for this processor are listed below; any LGA2011-3 server with v3 support also accepts it.
| Server | Generation | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Dell PowerEdge R630 | 13th generation, 1U | Listed for this processor |
| Dell PowerEdge R730 | 13th generation, 2U | Listed for this processor |
HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers are also named as compatible; match the heatsink to the HPE chassis.
Specification
Note the absence of Hyper-Threading and turbo: six cores means six threads, and the clock never rises above 1.90GHz. Memory speed is limited to 1600 MT/s regardless of the DIMMs fitted.
Do not judge it by the clock alone. As a second processor its value is structural: it brings the second set of memory channels, another 40 PCIe lanes and the slots wired to socket two, which is often the only reason a server needs it. As a sole processor it is enough for a file server, a backup target or a firewall, and it draws little power doing so.
Installation
Fitting is straightforward on any v3 capable board, since no firmware update is required for the launch generation. Pair it only with another E5-2609 v3 in a dual socket server; a v3 and v4 processor will not run together. Use fresh thermal compound and a standard heatsink; the 85W rating does not need the high performance type. Expect memory to train at 1600 MT/s even with faster DIMMs.

Why buy refurbished
Enterprise hardware, tested in Doha, at a fraction of the price of new
Every unit we sell has already proven itself in a data centre. We test it again, grade it, and back it with a warranty before it leaves our stock.
Tested before it ships
POST, burn-in, memory and power-supply checks on every unit. Anything that fails is repaired or pulled from stock, not sold.
Same performance, lower cost
A Xeon runs the same workloads whether it is new or two years old. Spend the difference on more CPUs, memory or storage.
In stock, not on order
New enterprise hardware can take weeks or months to arrive. Ours is on the shelf in Doha and delivered across Qatar within a day.
Warranty and local support
Every unit is covered. Installation, configuration and hardware support are handled by our own team in Qatar, not a call centre abroad.
