Dell R730 Compatible Processors

The Dell R730 supports 45 processors in our catalog, spanning the Broadwell-EP and Haswell-EP families. Every processor in the table on this page is verified compatible with the Dell R730 — filter by core count, clock speed or TDP to narrow the list.

The 2.20Ghz E5-2699v4 22-Core 145W is the highest core count processor we list for the Dell R730, at 22 cores. Higher core counts suit virtualization and container hosts where total thread count matters more than per-core speed.

By clock speed, the 3.10Ghz E5-2689v4 10-Core 165W tops the list for the Dell R730 at 3.8GHz. Fewer, faster cores generally win for databases and applications licensed per core.

Processors for the Dell R730 use the LGA 2011 socket. A processor must match both the socket and the chassis generation to work, which is why this page lists only verified-compatible parts.

Compatible processors for the Dell R730 range from 55W to 165W TDP. Higher TDP parts run hotter and may require specific heatsinks or fan configurations — contact our team if you are unsure what your chassis is configured for.

Yes — the Cisco C240 M4, Dell R630, HP DL360 G9 and HP DL380 G9 share the same processor compatibility as the Dell R730, so a CPU listed here will drop into any of them. That makes these platforms straightforward to standardize on if you run a mixed fleet, and it means spare processors carry over between them.

Yes. Configure a Dell R730 to order and pick your processors, memory, storage and controllers in one build, and we will assemble, test and ship it configured. Every system carries a one year warranty, extendable to five.

Server processors have no moving parts and are among the most durable components in a system. Every CPU we sell for the Dell R730 is tested before it ships and backed by the same one year warranty as our systems.
