    I've made a point of going through "seller's feedback" on pages of the main guys who sell these high end ES chips and I haven't seen any bad reviews. So the chips are seem to be working well out of the box, if any problems do arise they'll happen further down the line. It also helps that most...

    MATX board for 2690 v4 - need recommendations

    unfortunately it has to be mATX http://i.imgur.com/EK2s4ls.png - Except for the supermicro board's on this list, it says they all have max 64gb capacity, is this accurate? Can't I just put 4x32gb in the Asus X99-M WS for example? Also anyone know when the supermicro X10SRM's are coming out...

    MATX board for 2690 v4 - need recommendations

    Was planning on a dual 2690 v3 build but decided to simplify and go with a single 2690 v4 (ES). Most boards that support e5 v3 Xeon's also support v4's some just need a bios update. Haven't researched single socket motherboards at all. Would like the potential for 128gb of ram. mATX or...

    Compact Dual E5 Xeon 2690 v3 Build

    Thank you Mr. Submarine. Lots of useful tidbits in there that are sure to save me some trouble. Regarding the case: I am starting to agree with you and the others that are sure to think I'm crazy trying to fit a dual socket setup into micro ATX case equivalent. I'm pretty sure there is nothing...

    Compact Dual E5 Xeon 2690 v3 Build

    Thanks, I'll study this thread. That chassis is a monster compared to what I'm hoping to fit this build into... No dimension on the case should be more than 15" (the motherboard is 12x10). basically the case needs to be able to fit into your carry-on luggage on an airplane. I currently do this...

    Thanks for the reply Mr Patriot. Do you have any specific reason to believe this wont work 2690 v3 (12c) QEYJ? This is currently the most heavily sold stepping on ebay. I've read through the "buyers feedback" to see if anyone has had any problems and so far so good. I googled around a little...
