Is a E5-2650L v3 QS 1.8Ghz 30MB L3 12Core and a Asus X99-Pro motherboard for $275 good deal?
Yes ! (From my limited understanding of Asus board prices it seems like a good deal, and if it's working together then takes a lot of Guess work out of everything to buy a working combination)

Was about to buy it but the person selling it said it has a base clock of 1.4Ghz up to 2.0Ghz. I thought it was supposed to be around 1.8Ghz to 2.5Ghz. Am I missing something? Is it still a good deal? The guy selling it said he would hold on to it for me for a few days. Sorry, I am new to this.

You know what? I'll just tell you guys.

The one Nashten linked is an early sample of 6900k. (6900k ES1)
I don't know why the seller thought it is xeon.
It doeesn't even support registered ecc ram. because it's Broadwell-E.
Multiplier is unlocked up to 80x, and support ram overclock as well.

stepping is B0(on cpuz)/L0(on hwinfo64)
QK3P is 6900K ES2. it is M0(on cpuz)/R0(on hwinfo64)

vcore 38x / 1.344v (offset +0.250v)
cache 25x / default
ram 2933/15-17-17-35 2T 1.35v / SA voltage +0.225v / CPU I/O Voltage 1.115v

my build is
X99 Deluxe II
Corsair Vengeance LED 32GB PC24000 (4x8GB)

This information would have been useful however many days ago I posted the original link.

Seriously.

It is just OK deal now. CPU is not really a QS retail stepping, it depends on how much you want and value the ASUS board.
You may not even have use for the CPU. Then you want to value the ASUS board alone.

realize, to overclock to 4.0GHz, i have to give up on ram overclocking.
memory controller is too weak, you can hardly overclock memory on high clock.

3dmark result at 4.0GHz core/ 3100MHz cache and 2400MHz ram 17-17-17-36
I scored 10 674 in Fire Strike

I was able to pickup a SM X9DRH-7F for a good deal finally. This will be used for home lab/VM hosting. What would be the best price/performance ES/QS CPU to look out for now? Would they have to be matched? Thanks!

I went cheap. I bought a E5 2650L v2 QS 10 core for $65, put it in that cheap chinese x79/c602 mobo with 32gb ecc ddr3 ram. Beat the hell out of it for a couple days and it's been great.

Basically for $300 for cpu/ram/mobo/cooler, it was the best performance vs cost ratio I could get.

Here is a quick image of the CPU I got.


Anybody know the specific QH code?

The closest I can find to QHVJ is QHVD, which is a Xeon E5-2667V4 @ 2.9GHz. So perhaps this is a Xeon afterall and not an i7 variant as it is not QK3P.

it recognizes as Broadwell-E and Core i7 on all tools. and unlocked up to 56x or 80x

and it has an issue that it only runs 28x with AVX or AVX2

FYI







sorry for korean language on aida64, i don't know how to change it.
on ECC part, It says "Not Supported"

There're similar samples with Haswell-EP
called QEYY and QEYZ and QEY0
those are also unlocked up to 56x and ES2 and L0 stepping.

and your sample seem like oc'able around 3.8 to 4.0ghz

as far as i know
QHVJ 6900K? (only broadwell-e and no ecc)
QHVD 2667 V4
QHVK 2630 V4
QHV5 2690 V4
QHV6 2650 V4
QHV7 2680 V4
QHV8 2628L V4

i assume that qhvj is core variant.
some broadwell-ep's are unlocked but bclk strap does not work, and memory overclocking is limited . qhvj support fully overclocking though it is a crappy overclocker.
