Fastest CPUs for LGA 2011 v3

LGA 2011 v3 socket is an outdated platform, but many people are building new computers on it. This is because there are now many server processors available on the secondary market for this platform, which allows for significant cost savings.

Below we have compiled a list of the best processors for this socket based on availability, price, and specifications.

Processor	Cores/Threads	Frequency	Cache	TDP	Average Price (USD)
Xeon E5 2620 V3	6/12	2.4 GHz	15MB	85W	~ 8-10
Xeon E5 2630 V3	8/16	2.4 GHz	20MB	85W	~ 8-12
Xeon E5 2640 V3	8/16	2.6 GHz	20MB	90W	~ 8-12
Xeon E5 2678 V3	12/24	2.5 GHz	30MB	120W	~ 50-65
Xeon E5 2696 V3	18/36	2.3 GHz	45MB	145W	~ 90-100

*The most popular choice in terms of price and quality ratio is considered to be the Xeon E5 2678 V3.

Compatibility with motherboards

The LGA 2011 and LGA 2011-3 sockets are not compatible with each other. You cannot use the same processors on both platforms. However, you can use old coolers, as the physical socket size and mounting hole locations have not changed.
