E5-2696 v4 (22 cores) under $200

[Deleted member 43682]

so weirdly, the listing error mistake wasn't the same seller. but a different one:

Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 SR2NZ 2.40GHz 25MB 10-Core LGA2011-3 CPU Processor | eBay

<p>Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 SR2NZ 2.40GHz 25MB 10-Core LGA2011-3 CPU Processor. </p><br /><p>ebay #29</p>

(still has 2 cpus left at this time of posting).

I just received mine and it really was a 2680v4, like the photo, and shows all 14 cores in esxi!

I've bought the pair. One would hope the mistake extends to the other two. A nice fit for a X10DRi-T4+.

okay I really hope this works out well for you too. Fellow SRN7 bro. I actually was thinking of buying 2, but I only really needed 1, and I figured that a remaining pair would do someone else more good.

I hope a 2697v4 will work on a X10SRH-CF. I just ordered one.

Argh, I meant to post in this thread the day it was created... But see my reply was sitting here in the Reply box, unpublished. Original reply below.

I noticed it too a few months ago. I created some graphs to help me decide with the dropping of prices. Note, these are only the ones I was interested in (for high Ghz).

Yes

And remember everyone... The E5-16XX V1-V4 models are all Unlocked for overclocking (mostly in workstation boards, but my AsRock Rack E5 V3/V4 board has all of the overclocking features enabled). Though, they are single socket.

And IMO about overclocking your V4, there isn't. The "V3" overclocking guide is a real PITA and not worth the hassle and, IMO, possible security exploits in downloading hacked BIOSes and old microcode.

has anyone try E5 2696v4 + x10DRi with latest BIOS v3.4a ?

 

[davidng]

Careful with ordering these. I got one for my X10SRL-F with BIOS 3.4. No go. Wouldn't boot or POST even after clearing CMOS and resetting BIOS to factory defaults.

have you try the following solution mention in below post?

The following two are disabled on the BIOS:

- Disable C6 State Reporting
- Disable Spread Spectrum

I also want to order 2, but the seller warn me might not support, as I got a X10DRi board.
if it does not work, please try
The following two are disabled on the BIOS:
- Disable C6 State Reporting
- Disable Spread Spectrum

please post your result.
