What is it?

This processor from the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series strikes a great balance between price and power. It has 6 cores (12 threads) that run at 2.6 GHz with a max boost of 3.1 GHz. They offer very good performance with a reasonable power consumption for a Xeon. As an added bonus, compatible motherboards (LGA2011 Socket, usually called X79T boards) are cheap and well-made. These processors are repaired in-house, and undergo rigorous quality control and stress testing to ensure they meet manufacturers' advertised performance specs. You can expect the processors to have minor cosmetic blemishes such as superficial dents or signs of refurbishing, but never at the cost of performance. I take pride in upholding a guarantee of function over form!
