Questions buyers ask about this part

Will the Xeon Silver 4310 12-Core drop into my board?

It needs Socket LGA 4189. Socket is absolute — a processor for another socket will not fit whatever else matches — and the board also needs a BIOS level that recognises this stepping. Send us the server or board model and we will confirm both before you order.

What cooling does the Xeon Silver 4310 12-Core need?

It is a 120W part, so the chassis has to be rated for that at the ambient temperature you run. Dropping a 120W processor into a chassis specified for a lower-wattage bin will throttle under sustained load rather than fail outright, which is harder to diagnose. Tell us the platform and we will check the thermal rating and whether a different heatsink is required.

How many cores is Xeon Silver 4310 12-Core, and does that affect licensing?

12C / 24T. Per-core licensing on databases and some hypervisors means the core count is a cost decision as much as a performance one — a higher-clocked part with fewer cores is often cheaper to run overall. Tell us what you are licensing and we will quote both ways.

Is this Lenovo part genuine, and is the warranty intact?

Yes. We supply through authorized distribution only, so the part carries the full Lenovo manufacturer warranty and its firmware update path stays supported. No grey-market stock, no re-labelled drives, no voided warranties.

Do you offer volume pricing and accept purchase orders?

The listed price is per unit and indicative; tiered pricing applies at quantity. We accept purchase orders from qualified businesses, government and defence agencies, and educational institutions, with net terms and consolidated invoicing available.
