Dang it...I bit. 2@130/ea was countered at 140/ea. Looks like no shipping discount for multiple items. At least according to my checkout total...

i got mine at the last round before this new sale when seller ccs service was selling for buy now price of $120 with $4 shipping for 2.

But as i said, people had gotten as low as $100 in the past. I was just doing a lowball offer of $100 each and wouldn't mind having two more but i am not like in need of it... but seems like both sellers not willing to go lower for me? lol...

One of the sellers accepted my offer of 2@$120. Bummer about no combined shipping, but I can live with that.

And I *just* got my whitebox Proxmox build with 2670v2 procs racked back up this past weekend...

Dont get me wrong, I still think it's a killer deal if the procs show up in good shape. Been on the fence for awhile looking to replace some E5-2650Ls in single socket servers.

Now I just need to convince the purchasing committee that the 32GB DIMMs I'm watching should go under the Christmas gift budget. :D

There 's even one that's less than the price of 1 cpu:
Afaik those Inventec boards only work with V1 CPUs.

By the way, my 6 CPUs from ccs_service have arrived, and they're all in pretty bad shape. Only 2 of them were more or less fine, the other 3 had some dents and scratches, and one CPU has a huge dent on the contacts (with several contacts missing) so it's pretty much broken, not even going to try that one since there's a chance it'll fry something on the board. Still testing the 5 that might be working, and (if they're ok) then will have to return the 6th one somehow. Has anyone returned any CPUs to that seller? What was the experience, how did it go?

sorry to hear that... is this a new batch of 6 cpu from this time or from the last round a while back? well, worst come to worst there's always ebay protection.

It's from the last round a while back. I'm not in US so using freight forwarding and then was traveling for a week, only got my hands on those a couple of days ago.

if you guys see an around $100 dual mb that works with v2 please let the group know :)

cheapest i can find is 190 shipped
Foxconn Dual Socket LGA2011 motherboard Intel C602 X79 serverboard Xeon E5V2 CPU | eBay
Another link to one even cheaper and also include the i/o shield and two passive ilm coolers :

B800GG0 Inventec B800G2/10G A9DRPF-10G Dual LGA2011 EATX ZT System Board | eBay

I thought someone did say in the inventec forum that those MB do work with v2?

Anyway , there are definitely a few MB out there that will do dual v2 cpu for less than $200. should be able to find a few s2600cp2j for less than $200...

Zero communication from the seller. Had to appeal to ebay who told me to return it anyways. IRL stuff came up and I missed the return window. Now I have to call their customer service.
;( so seller doesn't respond when you sent msg? that sucks... but of course he responds when he wants more money as after i sent him an initial offer...lol...

There are a few E5-2697 v2 for sale on eBay close to the $300 mark. (They were even cheaper using the coupon codes last week!)

You get what you pay for. Have had a great experience with Alex, no esd protection but all procs were tested and work fine.
