seriously? I thought intel was the only pathetic one locking out oem cpu. I guess not....just sell your ga board and get the asus z9pe-d16...
E5-2696 V2 CPUs for $325!

Interesting - I have seen them work in a GA-7PESH3. Wonder what the difference is?
I got myself a 2680v2 and tried some overclocking. I had to give it 1.150v to go beyond 106Mhz. I get 3.5GHz when loading all 10 cores.
It is still below the 115w TDP.

No, its more. The scores below are with BCLK overclock as well. Not sure about the value. I tested Cinebench with every 1Mhz bump on the BCLK.
Edit: Without OC the 2680v2 scores 1400 in Cinebench.

The lower TDP would make the 2696 less likely to be able to keep up the turbo multiplier and max usage compared to 2697. so the 2697 would still likely be faster most of the time.I did some reading about the 2696v2 and I find it hard to believe that it should have an all core turbo at x31? If it is true it would make it faster than the 2697v2. Anyone who can confirm the turbo boost in the screenshot below?
Yes it is true. Even with high temperatures it stays at 3.1Ghz.
Though at once you use AVX instructions the speed will decrease. I will fall to 2.7Ghz and as the temperature increases fall further to 2.6ghz. I've not seen it fall to 2.5Ghz yet.

You can't really make a blanket statement like that. It's going to be very workload dependent. Two different workloads that both put the CPUs to 100% utilization don't necessarily have the same power consumption or speed under load.
One workload might favor the 2696 and another the 2697.
But given how much the 2696 costs when the supply was there vs the 2697, i think 2696 was definitely more cost effective. now that supply ran its course i think it's somewhat more awash. 2697 has better compatibility with MB...
If you had to start buying today would you opt for thr 2697?? Which motherboard is going to have the best compatibility for the price?
wow, that was fast. So looks like not only 2696 has ran out, even 2690 v2 also out b/c i was going to say go for 2690 v2 since that is almost as fast multithread and slightly faster single thread.
can also go for 2660 v2 which is only $110, but it's look like it's only a little faster than 2670 v1 and slower than 2680 v2
2697 is still more expensive than 2696
most cost effective right now is 2680 v2. i would go for that..... i myself got an asus z9pe-d16 which works great with win10 1709. sleep also works perfectly. had some issues with SM MB. if SM MB you might want to make sure you get the WS ones..

Dont fret. if i were you, go for dual 2680 v2 right now.... they are much cheaper for just slighly slower.So pissed I missed out on these
Hopefully, another large allotment gets dumped soon.
For you overclockers - IMHO no overclock is proven to work unless stable running y-cruncher and newest Prime95 for a while. AVX(2) need to be taxed.
