Clamshells for LGA 2011-3

[larrysb]

Anyone know where to get some clamshells, the plastic doodads that come in the box to protect a CPU in shipping, for LGA-2011-3 CPU's? Tons of them for the other CPUs on eBay, but very few for the 2011 v3.

I have a few Xeon E5-v4 chips not in use that I want to protect from damage.

Ebay search "Clamshell 2011"

LGA 2011 and LGA 2011 v3/4 have the same shell packaging.

I would personally would go with cpu trays like the below, ebay search "lga 2011 tray"

Yeah, that's a thought. I was thinking of the clamshells if I want to sell them off at some point.

@larrysb What v4 chips do you have?

 

[larrysb]

I scored some 2689 v4, which are perfect for me.

I have some 2697v3, 1660v4 and 2667v4 not currently in use, but I have two more potential builds to put them in. Not sure what I want to do with them just yet. I just want to safely store them for now. Nothing safer than the original packing materials.
