What is the "best bang for the buck" Broadwell-EP that runs on these boards? I.e. E5-26xxV4

Not sure if v4 is so superior vs v3's. For instance a E5 2630 v3 is just 6-7% higher rated in single benchmarks, but costs almost 4x used on eBay and other platforms.

If you want bang for the buck, v3 CPUs is where it's at. The prices are just so much better. With all-core turbo OC, they can even be made faster than v4.

So what the best v3 to get for high clock speed with OC? And I assume the Asus bios is moddable as needed? (I think I remember from adding pcie bifurcation on an Asus of mine)

I got my board and i am waiting for the ram to test everything.
I went to the dual 2630L V3 CPU. 55W and 8/16 cores/threads. those CPU cost less than 30usd a piece. impossible to beat :)

Nice I took the 2650L V3... 10core minimum was needed. :)

In EU there's nothing similar. Cheapest I saw is 59EUR w/cooler.

The socket is 2011-3 square ILM. There are a ton of coolers that fit. Depends on your budget, CPUs and how quiet you want them to be.

yes I know but socket are very closed, and I want something quiet ( but CPu will be 75W only) so no need something huge :)
