Supermicro Refurbished Processors
Refurbished Supermicro processors let you add cores to a server you already run, or replace a failed one, without buying a new system. Narrow the range by family, core count, or speed, and check your board model before you order.
Every processor is inspected and tested before shipping under our ISO 9001-certified quality management system. Orders ship from our warehouse in Denmark — with express delivery, your order will be delivered within 1–2 working days.
- 1-year warranty on all parts
- Tested under ISO 9001-certified quality control
- Save up to 80% compared to new
- Unlocked EPYC processors, ready for Supermicro boards
Refurbished Intel Xeon Processors for Supermicro
Supermicro’s X-series boards are built for Xeon, and the range covers current Scalable processors as well as older generations for legacy systems. Higher tiers add support for larger multi-socket systems and faster memory, which suits dense virtualization and databases. The entry tiers are a cost-effective fit for file, backup, and edge servers, and models ending in U are made for single-socket boards.
Refurbished AMD EPYC Processors for Supermicro
For AMD platforms, Supermicro uses its H-series boards, and the EPYC range covers several generations up to the current SP5 socket. EPYC packs a lot of cores into a single socket, so a one-socket Supermicro server can replace a dual-socket build. Models ending in P are made for single-socket boards only, while models with an F in the name trade cores for higher clock speeds.
Matching a CPU to Your Supermicro Board
Every Supermicro board has its own CPU support list, so check your board model against it before ordering. If the CPU is newer than the board’s original release, update the BIOS first. The category also covers VRM modules for boards that need them. Our Parts Finder lets you look up a part number, and adding a second CPU is a good moment to fill more slots with Supermicro memory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do refurbished Supermicro processors perform like new ones?
Yes. A processor has no moving parts and doesn’t wear out in normal server use, so a tested refurbished one runs at the same clock speed and core count as new. It also comes with a 1-year warranty.
Can I mix two different processors in a dual-socket Supermicro server?
No. Both sockets need the same model, ideally with the same stepping, or the server may not boot. If you’re adding a second processor to a running system, match the part number of the one already installed.
What does “unlocked” mean on an EPYC processor?
Some EPYC processors are locked to the first server platform they boot in and won’t run on another vendor’s board. An unlocked EPYC isn’t tied to any platform, so it works in a Supermicro H-series board.
Do you buy used server CPUs?
Yes. We buy server CPUs, including Xeon and EPYC, from businesses that are upgrading or decommissioning hardware. Send a list through our buyback service and we’ll make you an offer.
