I got 3 boards (1 from another seller and 2 of this seller) and 1x pair of Noctua NH-U9DX i4 it is here and 1x pair of Intel STS200C's. One I keep is a spare board.

I took 4 but I am very curious to see how long these will approximately last until they die.

Any experts?

Got my 2 today. Would have prefered carton o top of the sockets. If smthg presses on it ... Hmmm.

But the boards fits well in a short-depth environment with 2x Noctua NH-U9DX i4.

Also recevied mine with the same "Protection", but 128GB of ram and 2 2650L V3. boot like a charm....

I just have one corner of the motherboard a bit destroyed, but it's a very good deal for 110€

I don't know why you are poking fun at the socket protection. At least the seller made an attempt, and it's better than nothing. I ship boards with a similar protection if I no longer have the original cover. Although I use a more rigid piece of cardboard for it.

I'm not poking fun, because of the socket protection. I'm damn serious. I would have preferred a thin card board as well with my awe full experience with these 'Tempo' layer protections. How shall I claim a broken board with these kind of protection layer if a pin gets stuck in the 'Tempo' and breaks without me recognizing while I take it off?

And if you act like a pro seller on eBay with this quantity of boards, you should pack the boards the same way. I know private sellers here, who pack their stuff way more professional. It's just how you care about. A pair of socket protectors cost 1US$ with quantity. So .... PLEASE !!!!

You know too much of what you are talking about causing you to not know what you are talking about, same goes for the washing machine guy.

How many memory stick did you put ?
mine refuse to boot if we follow the Manual....

Manual said A1B1E1F1 -> won't boot with error code B7
So I populate with A1 C1 G1 E1 -> boot and 4 dimm detected without any problem...

I use 4x 16GB DIMM's population as per manual > A1B1 + E1F1. Tried your working population as well and it works. Maybe go the slow test way. Install 1 CPU and populate just 1 DIMM and so on. With two CPU installed, just start to populate A1 ... if it doesnt work ....

Do you have max 2133Mhz R-DIMM's ?

Regards.

But these Noctua NH-U9DX i4 seem to handle those 2x E5 2673v3 very well w/35min into P95. Fan's are still at ~900U/min with these temps. Bios is in 'Power Extreme' mode so CPU's get all what they need.

Wow, two Microsoft-OEM 2673v3 with 24C/48T including board for 300 EUR. At 105W TDP pretty efficient, too.

On the other hand eight 64GB LRDIMM DDR4-2666 will set you back another 2300 EUR. ;-)

Keep coming back to this solution vs. a dual Xeon Platinum 8124 on X11DPI board solution, which is wildly more expensive. Originally I am trying to improve build times on Android Studio. Decisions, decisions...

i hesitate a lot with the2673v3... but finally I went on 2650Lv3 to reduce a bit the TDP (and the frequence but not very important for my usage).

but yeah 650€ for MB dual CPU and 128GB of ram... very nice build
