Socket 1366 folding @ home?

So I've been wondering if, for sever use, socket 1366 is still a viable platform? I want to build a folding @ home rig and a server using socket 1366 Xeons. I've narrowed it down to wanting 2x Intel Hex Core Xeon L5640 2.26 GHz low power (60W) CPU's for the folding rig and another for the server as they'll be running all the time. I can get them for about £80 a piece from a reliable source, would these still be powerful enough for a server? I know for folding @ home, two 6 core Xeons would pull some beefy number.

CPU: 5930K @ 4.5GHz | GPU: Zotac GTX 980Ti AMP! Extreme edition @ 1503MHz/7400MHz | RAM: 16GB Corsair Dom Plat @ 2667MHz CAS 13 | Motherboard: Asus X99 Sabertooth | Boot Drive: 400GB Intel 750 Series NVMe SSD | PSU: Corsair HX1000i | Monitor: Dell U2713HM 1440p monitor
