LGA 2011 CPU list (included Xeon), specs and compatibility

LGA 2011 is a CPU socket used by Intel for high-end desktop and server processors. It was introduced in 2011 and is the successor to the LGA 1366 socket.

It’s worth noting that LGA 2011 processors come in two variants: the Core i7 and the Xeon E5. Core i7 processors are designed for high-end desktop systems, while the Xeon E5 processors are designed for servers and workstations. Moreover, Xeon E5 processors offer a range of features that are not available on the Core i7 processors, such as support for ECC memory and advanced virtualization features.

In 2019, there was a trend towards building desktop computers with Xeon server processors. This made it possible to build inexpensive computer systems during a time of rising prices due to cryptocurrency mining. However, as of today, Xeon builds are no longer relevant. In this article, we will examine the lists CPUs for the LGA 2011 socket, along with their specifications.

Compatibility with motherboards

LGA 2011 is designed to be used with Intel’s X79 chipset. However, some motherboards may require a BIOS update to support the latest processors, so it’s important to check with the motherboard manufacturer before upgrading your CPU.

It’s worth noting that some of the more powerful processors in the Xeon E5-2600 series have higher power requirements, which may limit their compatibility with certain motherboards.

Drawbacks of PC builds on Xeon LGA 2011

I did not write about building computers on this socket in this article. LGA 2011 is not relevant at the moment, and the list of processors will help you find a replacement for an old processor in a server or a Chinese-made desktop PC.

Please familiarize yourself with the following drawbacks:

On most Chinese-made motherboards, the sleep mode does not work properly. This is manifested in the fact that after the system goes to sleep, all fans continue to spin, and the mouse and keyboard backlighting does not turn off.
To access overclocking, you will most likely need to flash the BIOS. Stock BIOS versions usually do not have functionality for CPU and sometimes RAM overclocking. The firmware process itself is not difficult, it is done according to the instructions and takes 10-15 minutes of time.
The motherboard temperature sensor may display incorrect information. This is a minor, but annoying bug that still exists in some boards. Fortunately, it is not critical, and all other temperature sensors will work correctly.

*All of these drawbacks primarily apply to motherboards.
