Question 1

Are you sure the socket is LGA1155 and not LGA1150?  I think 1155 is for Ivy Bridge and 1150 is for Haswell.

Accepted Answer

I am very interested in using this processor (or the Xeon E3-1275L v3) for a middle of the road home server build so I have been researching the exact same thing you have asked about.  Based on everything that I have found, if this product listing is truly for the v3 (Haswell) then it has to have the 1150 socket and newegg has incorrect information on this page.  Sorry for the drawn out answer, just trying to show I don't have much credibility beyond what I have been googling......

Question 2

Does this processor come with a heat sink and cooling fan?  I can't tell by the information on the page of this product description.  Thank you.

Accepted Answer

I can confirm that this does not come with a heat sink.
