Socket 604 socket: CPUs, chipsets and cooler fit
Socket 604 is the Intel micro pin grid array socket that carried Dunnington Xeon 7400 multiprocessors in September 2008. It holds 604 contacts for FC-mPGA8 packages measuring 2.1 by 2.1 inches. Socket 604 succeeds Socket 603 for Xeon MP servers, with later multiprocessors moving to LGA 1567.

Overview
The socket matters for this batch because the Xeon E7440, E7430, E7458, E7450, E7420 and L7445 are all Dunnington parts for Caneland multi-socket servers. Dunnington packs up to six Core cores with a large shared L3 cache, scaling to four processors per machine. The family spans 50 W low-voltage quads to 130 W six-core flagships.
Memory is DDR2 through the Caneland board chipset. Cooling is entirely server vendor hardware with threaded backplates, so a processor swap stays within the thermal design the chassis was qualified for.

Who Socket 604 serves
Socket 604 fits Caneland multiprocessor servers that pair Dunnington Xeon 7400 parts with DDR2 memory and a BIOS that lists the exact SKU. The six-core E7458 and E7450 at 2.4 GHz suit virtualization hosts at 90 W, while the quad-core L7445 at 2.13 GHz suits dense racks at 50 W. Every installation needs the server maker CPU list because multiprocessor support is board specific.
Memory and cooling
Memory on Socket 604 is DDR2 through the Caneland board chipset. Expansion hangs off the server chipset because these CPUs provide no PCIe lanes or graphics. Cooling uses the server vendor heatsink for the exact chassis, from 50 W low-voltage parts to 130 W six-core flagships.

Frequently asked questions
Which processors fit Socket 604?
Tigerton Xeon 7200 dual-core and 7300 quad-core parts in 604-pin packages, including the 2.4 GHz dual-core E7210 at 80 W, the 2.93 GHz X7350 at 130 W and the 1.867 GHz L7345 at 50 W covered here, plus Dunnington Xeon 7400 six- and quad-core parts such as the 2.4 GHz E7458 at 90 W.
Is Socket 604 the same as Socket 771?
No. Socket 604 has 604 contacts in a different key layout from the 771-land LGA package, and Dunnington needs Caneland power delivery. Forcing a chip can damage the board.
What memory does Socket 604 use?
DDR2 memory through the Caneland board chipset. A move to DDR3 means a move to a newer Xeon platform with a new board.
How many PCIe lanes does Socket 604 provide?
No lanes come from these CPUs. A front side bus ties the CPU to the server chipset at 1066 MT/s, while PCIe slots hang off the chipset.
