A few weeks ago I bid on two E5-2695 V2 cpu's on ebay that the seller listed "as is" because he had no way to test them. Seller over 300 transactions and %100 feedback so I gambled.
I had my max bid for for both at $155.00
I won one at $142.00 and was out bid for the other.
It works perfectly......and its a screamer too bad I only have one on a dual cpu AsrockRack motherboard.
So I still have been looking for a pair of V1 or V2 Xeons at least 8 cores and at a decent speed and cheap to replace the single E5-2695 V2 that I have now, I'm thinking of either putting it up on ebay and use the money for a newer cpu and motherboard, Ryzen maybe, or wait for a deal on a single socket motherboard to upgrade my oldest kids Phenom II pc.
Tonight I was watching a seller that sold over 40 E5-2650 V1's and just dropped the buy it now for the two last ones he had for $12.50 each with 2.99 shipping so I jumped on them.
Two E5-2650's shipped for under $30.00
EDIT: I have been wanting to get away from the older 2011 platform, even tried to sell this dual cpu motherboard on ebay and did not get near what I hoped so I ended the auction, but they are hard to beat for power/efficiency AND price.
Oh and they are SR0KQ stepping.
