I got a few 2011 v3 cpu around. bought them to test out z10pe-d16.....
was thinking I should get an x99 mb before price heads back up again. I guess not too many people buy them right now bc of high ddr4 price?that's the biggest hurdle for me too..but its crazy that these brand name mb are cheaper than x79 or the Chinese ones. need to find one that would take both ecc and non ecc ddr4
in EST timezone...lol

x79 is rare and hard to find, everyone needs them.
i have a Z10PE-D16 WS (350€ Alternate-Outlet)
You can take all ASRock X99 boards, with a Xeon all types of DDR4 is supported because ASRock is full wired.
I have X99M Killer, X99M extreme 4, X99E-ITX/ac.
Gigabyte X99 supports only 1Rx8 RDIMM but not tested.
Had 4 samsung 32GB 2Rx4 regECC DIMM's running(128GB in 4 slots) but sold them last year.
do you use an outdated software ? no multi-core support ?That's great. Didn't know about that. So I would just need a high TDP heatsink to handle the overclock. I would only need the OC for editing/rendering videos. Thanks for the reply
its easy'er to use a cheap 10/12 core with hyperthreading for rendering.
thought cinebench score is a value for a good editing/rendering cpu
the E5440 is early architecture from intel, habe one E5440(modified) too running on a Gigabyte lga775 mobo.
a single E5-2628Lv3 QS (10cores 20 threads at 2.1ghz )for about 160€ will do much more.
on a comparisn haswell-e has 50% more cinebench, haswell-e has hyperthrading(is a plus of 50% again)
or with other words: a haswell-e 6 core at 2 ghz will do the same than 2x E5440.
what is the cinebenchR15 score of your system ?
cool! yeah, def think I will get one right now just bc they look so cheap before they start to head back up. The other day I saw a tyan s7012 x58 dual cpu slots going for $50 shipping for free. wish I picked up one. now its back to close to $100 shipped.
so getting back to x99, I guess support for ECC is not guaranteed on every one?

just ordered a pair of 2680 v2. was able to haggle the seller down to $340. was hoping I could've got the pair for $320... anyway, the price premium of 2690 v2 was just too much....

ECC is mostly not the problem. server ECC RAM is registered/buffered, and mostly not supported
by the motherboard. If you have a Xeon on a ASRock x99 mobo ecc UDIMM(unbuffered) will
work with ECC correction.
registered ECC will work without the server ECC functionality(no reporting ECC errors in LOG files)
in example Gigybyte x99 supports only 8 bit organized DIMM, mostly ECC RDIMM is 1Rx4 bits,
the DIMM slots are NOT full wired on Gigabyte.
On more reason for ASRock is the support for early Engineering samples.
was just browsing thr X79 MB on fleebay lately. the brand names are so expensive!

is that all b/c the 2011 v3 cpu and ddr4 price are so expensive right now that's why more people are demanding x79 MB and also b/c x79 are no longer made?

the 2011-0 chips are very cheap because they get retired from servers. the chinese manuf. have 1000's of PCH chips laying arround, so why not use them. the so called "clone x79" boards have not a real x79 soldered.
i got a small mainboard that can hold all sandy/ivy-bridge lga2011 cpu, look, it's a tiny one

What board is that?
Ebay?
I still haven't decided on which version to get for the E5-2643 cpu I have to build a gaming pc for one of my kids.
Oh and the motherboard 24 pin connector placement is LOL
these are hard to find on ebay, i found it on taobao but bought it with help from my chinese supplier.
most of these board missing the USB3.0 chip and connector, so ask for it !
C602/X79 motherboard
because of the small size the 24 pin ATX conn. is (mis)placed, imho not a problem.
for a gaming pc you better take a board with quadchannel support(not all moards with 4 dimm slots have quad-channel). this one is cheap on ebay, quiet same manuf. than the small one.

The games that will be played are not super intense, Minecraft, The Sims ect.
So I am not needed the bleeding edge, just good enough and cheap.
Will probably use a GTX 960 or GTX 970.
A couple of sticks of 8 gig DDR 3 ecc ram, some sort of decent size ssd and a very good pci sound card.
I have everything already just need a motherboard.
