Learned a bunch today! Looking at it an E5-1650V4 should be same as my 6850k, just with ECC support. Will ECC memory work in my Asus X99? Looking at this source it seems likely: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/list-of-x99-motherboards-compatible-with-ecc-memory.2532948/

Thanks for the reply, so non-ES variants of xeons should still work then? I'm just trying to find a cheap alternative with similar specs

My 6850k just broke, so I'm looking for a replacement and found this E5-2667 V4 (ES) here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32814126645.html It seems to be the QHVD variant. I have an ASUS X99 Deluxe II. What chances do I have that this chip will work?
