I know this trick...
I have a problem with Asus Z10PE-D16 WS I tried to delete microcode but...
... it doesn't work. And the first bios is already patched one.
I understand the principles but the explanations on how to do it aren't crystal clear to me... Could someone please post a tuto on how to modify a Z10PE-D16 WS in order to obtain this? So far I have seen only partial explanations for X99 MB - or maybe I am not skilled enough to understand them :D

I got too Z10PE-D16....
You can't. This motherboard come with patched microcode.
ofc you can delete microcode but you need to do magic in HxD editor :) And also rember to correct checksum...
Better to upgread by flashback :) You can bypass some securities. Or you can buy bios programmer (you can force flash bios) it cost used one around 200$. You won't find step by step tutorial...
... every bios is different.

I couldn't do it :(

I just received one of these: Intel Xeon E5 2620 V4 ES 2.1GHz 20MB 8Core 12Threads 22nm LGA2011-3 85W CPU | eBay
E5-2620 V4 ES for $116
It's not the fastest or most powerful cpu made, but it was cheap. It must have been remarked, because HWiNFO and CPU-Z show it as ES, but it's marked SR2R6. HWiNFO shows stepping as R0 and this under QDF: QK3F (ES2), QKES,QKRG (QS)
Not bad overall for $116. Well, I did splurge for the $16 extra shipping so approx $132 total. I paid Feb 8th and got it today. Location may say Hong Kong but it came from China.

If I would have needed a couple of cpu's for a server instead of a workstation I would have jumped all over them at that price.

Hey guys, I just picked up a x99 Taichi and was going to go with a 5820k, but then found this forum. What would be the best Xeon proc for this board under $360 (# cores/performance)? Closest to prod stepping please. Thanks for any help or suggestions. Also, I have been seeing a lot of complaints against xtrememicro lately, so any valid sellers please.

I have two configurations with (OEM and ES2) and I am quite happy with both, but I am thinking of getting rid of one set: Asus Z10PE WS D8 and 2 x 2698 V4 (QHZD) and 128GB REG ECC. I was wondering if there still demand for these puppies or it's now something else popular ??

Hi everyone, new member here.
I am looking into buying 2x E5-2683 v3 so was wandering if I should choose revision M0 (stepping 2) or R2 (stepping 2)? I intend to use it with Supermicro 7038A-i mostly for architectural visualizations/rendering.

Wow. That's amazing. What's the ballpark idea of how much you might be thinking of selling off?

Pretty much the same amount I paid for it (add up prices from ebay)... I had an opportunity to buy almost the identical configuration thru the company and claim that as en expense, so i don't need this one. PM me. (sadly, I am in Europe, so sending it to US will have un-necessary export-import fees)

Maybe move this post into non ES (engineering sample) thread, unless you talk about ES samples. I can't talk about V3 ESs, but V4 ESs seems to be damn good value for the money.

Well that the part that's confusing me most as I have seen both versions mentioned and marked as QS, ES and even production (sspec SR1XH).

I asked this as in HwInfo64 both M0/2 and R2/2 seem to be labelled as C0/C1 and SR1XH, for example:

M0/2 - Intel Xeon E5-2683 V3 SR1XH 2.0GHz 14Core 35M 9.6GT/s LGA2011-3 CPU Processor | eBay

R2/2 - Intel Xeon E5-2683 V3 SR1XH 2.0GHz 14 core 35M R2 step. 2

I learned in the mean time that neither M nor R is correct stepping label for 14 core cpu so I guess all this ebay e5-2683 v3 xeons are suspicious.

Any recommendations for other E5 v3 or v4 gen cpus? My budget is around $800 and they will be used for architectural visualizations/rendering.

There is two different CPU-Z versions in both of those listings that's why they are reporting M/R steppings. If you look at both listings the seller has provided HwInfo64 screenshots in the picture gallery and they both report that it is a production C0/C1 stepping processor. This is why for details you shouldn't be relying on CPU-Z as while it provides general information has issues with it's reporting and information. None of those E5-2683 V3 are suspicious at all. The HwInfo64 screenshots are what you should be relying upon for details and that is provided for both listings. The CPU-Z only shows that it is a production processor from a C0/C1 stepping (note the stepping 2 and the absence of [ES]).
Very useful info, than you. These e5-2683v3 seem very good value. I have been looking at e5-2678v3 and various v4 ES cpus but production e5-2683v3 at around 700usd for pair are my current favourite choice.

Stupid question on my workstation machine i have a E5-2658v4 QS on a ASRock X99 Extreme4 all working well only i want to use my DDR4 quad channel kit 3200MHz i tried to load the XMP profile but in Windows 10 i can not find if the memory is on 3200MHz i only see 2133Mhz is it not possible on Zeon processors to load XMP profile or did i do something wrong?

I was able to pick up a some DDR3 14900R ECC Ram that I didn't really plan on. Now the question is, what ES/QS CPU should I look for, or is the E5-2670 v1 still the way to go? Thanks as always.
