hmm, you have a different set of memory? make sure it's definitely ddr3 ecc rdimm... also make sure the memory use for both sockets are the exact same one.... i mixed non ecc udimm and ecc udimm in the x9sra and it works but when i used that same two in the asus z9ped16 it doesn't work.
It is 8 sticks of HMT31GR7EFR4C-PB that was working with the 2650v2s at 1600. I also have 4 sticks of HMT451R7AFR8C-RD that does the same thing (sits after the first post beep). Working memory is 4 sticks of MT18JSF1G72PZ-1G9.
I have memory of reading some parts that are OEM that have the slightly larger PCBA like the E5-2651v2 and the 2695v2, so if i remember correctly, that might be why. I am also aware that some OEM parts do not support certain features, like the 2650lv2, which seemingly does not support 1866mhz memory. I might not be 100% correct on all of this, so if anyone knows better feel free to correct me.
I haven't tested 8700k but no doubt it could be faster....Just pointing out that a U part laptop cpu can be very fast in single core..
I don't think 2695v2 is OEM. Afaik those were released as regular retail parts. 2651v2, 2692v2 and 2696v2 are OEM.
2650Lv2 is not OEM. And it's not about OEM or not, there's plenty of retail CPUs in intel's Ivy Bridge line with lower specs than their higher-end counterparts. E5-2651 v2, E5-2628L v2, [URL='http://ark.intel.com/products/75267']E5-2640 v2, [URL='http://ark.intel.com/products/75791']E5-2630L v2, [URL='http://ark.intel.com/products/75790']E5-2630 v2, E5-2620 v2 - these all officially support only up to 1600 MHz ram. They're all also 7.2 GT/s QPI instead of 8 GT/s. There are even a few CPUs that only support up to 1333 MHz ram - [URL='http://ark.intel.com/products/76157']E5-2603 v2, [URL='http://ark.intel.com/products/75787']E5-2609 v2, [URL='http://ark.intel.com/products/75788']E5-2618L v2, for example. Some don't even support hyper-threading. Not about OEM vs retail, just usual intel's bs market slicing.[/URL][/URL] [/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL]
i7-8700 should be faster than i7-8550u in single-threaded tasks. It's just IPC * clocks. They're both from the same generation in terms of IPC (Skylake = Kaby Lake = Coffee Lake), so it's the clocks that determine the score. And properly configured i7-8700 should boost up to 4.6 GHz in single-threaded loads, while i5-8550u can only go as high as 4 GHz. But then there are other factors.. systems might be configured differently, so your 8700's boost might be lower than 4.6 GHz. RAM speed also matters, there's noticeable difference between 2133 and 3600.
What was the damage? Can't see it on the picture, too dark and out of focus. It sucks if the packaging is inadequate.
Which ohio seller is that? there were two.... Mine were ccs_services
Yeah CCS.
Nope. There is a gouge in one of them. Not something on the surface.
Yes, it was different. That white foam then wrapped in a couple inches of bubble wrap and packing tape, with a small piece of cardboard separating the chips. Not that yours are any better, they certainly received ESD damage too. Those polyethylene bags dont protect against ESD, they just dont cause ESD. Not that it matters because they stuck foam inside of the ESD bag defeating the entire purpose of it. You need a bag with a metalized coating if you actually want to protect against ESD from external sources.
...My phone's camera sucks, here is a slight better picture. Or if you look at that white spot in my first pic.What was the damage? Can't see it on the picture, too dark and out of focus. It sucks if the packaging is inadequate.
I'm not really interested at this point. Even if it works im worried it'll fail 6 months to a year down the line due to ESD damage. If someone wants to buy it from me for what I paid for it, paypal fees and shipping with the understanding it is being sold as is with no returns, i'll do it. Otherwise i'm just returning to the seller.
if you got another board, maybe just try both cpu and see anyway if any or both fail... it's possible there might just be enough contact for it to work even if not ideal...
which seller is that? i thought we only got 2 ohio sellers?
