If you have a boot block date for 2010 (eg. motherboard revision C2) you can use these cpus to maximize your processing responsiveness, speed and/or production. You will need memory in both banks as well as heat sinks for both cpus. I am VERY pleased with the ones I bought from this vendor.

Mine are running in an Asus DC6 dual cpu MOBO, and they are running with flying collors. With 12 cores (pair), and 24 threads they breaze thru rendering, they run at 95 watts@ (or less), and they are completely MOBO manageableso I really could not ask for more in a processor. Especially considering their age, and who knows their service history... If you intend to render 3D projects / models or run Loads of virtual machines then I would recommend these X5675 processors as a very good choice. The value of the dollar per core alone is probablly the highest you will find in a proven CPU.

Went from 2x E5640 to 2x X5675 I use my server for hosting game dedicated servers and the difference in amazing. Load times were cut in half, server is actually a lot quieter and CPU usage has dropped quite a bit. Used to cost 5-6% CPU per server. Loaded 2 up last night and it idled at 2% for 2 of them.

Worked perfectly and was easy to install. Was a speed improvement over the originally installed processor pair.

Works great with my cisco b200 m2 server blades. I used to fill only a single socket and it worked with vmware. Now I fill both sockets. And my cisco VIRL software nested VM works well.
