Would it work?

[Amol S.]

I am wondering if a intel Xeon Xeon E5-4603 v2 will work as a replacement for my current PC( mother board : Intel H67H2-CM CPU :
Intel® Core™ i5 - 2320 Processor )?

No, it would not work. The Xeon E5 uses a different socket from your motherboard- your motherboard is LGA-1155, and the Xeon uses LGA-2011.

If you really want to upgrade, I would recommend something like an i7 3770k.

What would happen if I try to fit one in?

Both the cpu and motherboard would short and be broken. NTMBK already told you it wouldn't work.

It won't fit. The Xeon has 856 more pins. (Different socket, different size)

Use a hammer to fit it in. Then tell us how it works...

So...just cut off the server pins, leave the useful pins and you're good to go in a desktop board. ;-)
