    Canada WTB: Dual LGA2011 Motherboard

    I purchased an S2600CP4 a few months ago and just recently tried to put it into production after acquiring a case, memory, dual E5-2670's, etc but believe I have a dud mobo and it's been far too long to claim refund on it. With both CPUs installed and minimal ram, the system either fails to post...

    2xE5-2670 / Intel S2600CP2J Natex Build Check (x-post from /r/homelab)

    First time poster here, hope I'm doing this right. Found this forum through /r/homelab where I didn't get as much attention as I was hoping (Though some helpful folks did comment). Looking through older build threads on here with natex stuff, it looks like I'm not the first one to query both...

    Intel S2600CP2 in CSE-836TQ Chassis?

    It has recently come to my attention that this motherboard isn't an easy swap into this chassis due to power cable lengths and supermicro headers... For anyone who's performed a swap of this mobo into an equivalent/similar supermicro chassis, am I right in thinking that I'll only need the...

    Idle Power consumption from a single e5-2670 build?

    Hi, I hope this is the right section to post this. I've been able to find idle power consumption numbers for dual e5-2670 builds but have not had any luck searching for a single e5-2670 build. Would it be safe to assume that since dual e5-2670 draws roughly 70-80W idle that a single e5-2670 may...
