OS2425PDS6DGN - 2.10 GHz 6 Core 6MB Socket F Opteron 2425 HE Server CPU
Description
The AMD Opteron 2425 HE (OS2425PDS6DGN) is a 6-core “Istanbul” server processor designed for dual-socket Socket F (1207) platforms that require strong multi-threaded performance with lower power consumption. With a 2.10 GHz core clock, 6 MB shared L3 cache, and support for registered ECC DDR2 memory, this CPU is ideal as a replacement or upgrade in enterprise rack and blade servers that originally shipped with Opteron 2400-series HE processors.

✅ Confirmed Compatibility
Please note that the following list is not exhaustive. Compatibility depends on your system’s specific configuration, BIOS version, and chipset support. It is essential to verify CPU support with your system or motherboard manufacturer prior to installation.
✔ HPE ProLiant: DL385 G6, DL165 G6, BL465c G6, BL495c G5, BL495c G6
✔ Dell PowerEdge: PowerEdge 2970, PowerEdge R805, PowerEdge M605, PowerEdge M805
✔ Sun / Oracle Sun Fire: Sun Fire X4140, Sun Fire X4240
✔ Supermicro (selected Socket F platforms): A+ Server 1021M-UR+B (and other Socket F boards that explicitly list Opteron 2425 HE support)
☑️ Key Features
- ☑️ 6-core “Istanbul” architecture for strong multi-threaded server workloads
- ☑️ High-efficiency HE bin for reduced power draw versus standard Opteron 2400 parts
- ☑️ 6 MB shared L3 cache to improve performance in database, virtualization, and I/O-heavy tasks
- ☑️ Socket F (1207) support for many mid-generation AMD-based enterprise servers
- ☑️ Works in dual-socket configurations when matched with the same CPU model and stepping
- ☑️ Ideal as a drop-in replacement for failed or missing Opteron 2425 HE processors in supported platforms
⚙️ Fit Notes
- Confirm that your system uses Socket F (1207) and officially supports AMD Opteron 2400-series HE 6-core processors before ordering.
- Always update the system BIOS/firmware to the latest recommended version prior to installing a new CPU.
- For dual-CPU configurations, match CPU model and stepping where required by the server vendor for proper operation and NUMA balancing.
- Use only registered ECC DDR2 memory as specified by the server or motherboard documentation.
- Ensure a compatible server heatsink and proper airflow are present; many of these platforms require specific OEM heatsinks and shrouds.
- Apply high-quality thermal compound (we recommend Shin-Etsu G751 Thermal Grease) when installing or reseating the CPU.
