I asked Central Valley Computer what those boards were intended for, but he didn't know. Seems like a nice guy if anyone else cares to try and find out more. The single PCIe slot just turns me off too much.
I hope I'm not wrong, but I'm pretty sure they do exist and they are strongly linked to this processor.What about dual socket 2011-3 boards that take DDR3??
Believe you are correct, although i don't think only fb got the v3 ddr3 chips as oems.I hope I'm not wrong, but I'm pretty sure they do exist and they are strongly linked to this processor.
I recall a couple of threads on the E5-2678 V3 that mentioned this was a custom SKU Intel created for Facebook for the Winterfell (Windmill v2) iteration. The story I read was that FB wanted a DDR3 variant due to the DDR4 shortage at the time, and Intel obliged.
Again, I could be very wrong on everything, but it's the only reason I can imagine for this listing:
QUANTA WINTERFELL BAREBONE CHASSIS WITH HEATSINK SUPPORT XEON E5-2678v3 CPU
I also suspect that's the case, just didn't have much to support it other than reasonable guesses.Believe you are correct, although i don't think only fb got the v3 ddr3 chips as oems.
They are not incorrect, just incomplete. The e5-2678v3 supports both.What I find interesting is that cpuworld lists the e5-2678 v3 as ddr4:

Its not the board i had in mind but that seems very interesting to me. I'll have a look.

I went ahead and bought one of those dual motherboards. He caught me at a weak moment, armed with a discount.Those central valley boards sure look like they would take a hba and nic with mezzanine port ... they look like Intel but o/c i dont know. With these in place they might be very nice boards ...
Thanks. I bought 2 last night at 139/ea. I guess I'll let y'all know when they arrive and I try it all out together. Thanks everyone.Asked seller to rethink his price increase. He changed the price back to 139$ one left.
I am planning to get one of those inventec boards that take ddr3. Which model did you get? B600GG0? Any problems with it?I went ahead and bought one of those dual motherboards.

Sorry guys. I did get the board but I’ve been too busy to play with it. If either of y’all want it, I’d be happy to send it to you for the cost of shipping, if you promise to report back your findings!they arrive yet?
Promise. Need to source some ddr3 too, I’ll pm you my address, let me know the cost.Sorry guys. I did get the board but I’ve been too busy to play with it. If either of y’all want it, I’d be happy to send it to you for the cost of shipping, if you promise to report back your findings!
Pls share, what were the requests?I actually submitted a request, and if they truly take it seriously, i will even replace some of my 10 heavy duty servers with them.
