Product OverviewThis is a rare and powerful Intel Xeon E5-2679 v4 processor. With 20 physical cores and 40 threads, this chip is a high performance "unicorn" for the LGA 2011-3 platform.

Small Form Factor PowerhouseThis CPU is a perfect choice for high end Mini-ITX builds. It provides massive multi-threaded processing power in a small form factor, making it ideal for compact workstations or specialized gaming rigs that require heavy background processing, streaming, or rendering.

Usage HistoryI used this processor in my personal gaming PC for less than 4 months. It handled every modern title with ease while multitasking in the background. I have recently upgraded my entire platform to a non-mini ITX form factor and can no longer benefit from this chip.

Important Note for BuyersThis is a 200W TDP processor. While it works great in Mini-ITX motherboards (such as the ASRock EPC612D4I), please ensure your specific motherboard supports this high wattage Xeon and that you have a cooling solution capable of managing a 200W load in a small chassis.

Shipping and HandlingThe CPU has been professionally cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. It will ship in an anti-static protective clamshell to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
