I plan on installing this same processor in the same motherboard (replacing my x99-eitx). Im just waiting for usps to deliver the package thats delayed for over a week now.Mine arrived this morning. Got it running on a SM X10SRL-F. Had to reinstall the chipset drivers to clean up device manager. For some strange reason it disabled my Nvidia drivers. Reinstalled the chipset drivers fixed this also.
Lucky you...mine was shipped on December 15th from Chicago and still hasnt arrived in NYWindows 7. Mine arrived a day early. I was surprised as it went coast to coast.
I also wonder the same thing about the E5-16XX v4 processors. the only explanation I can come up with is that these processors are most like the i7 in the series and have high clock speeds versus the E5-26XX series.I am watching those deals on E5-2xxxV4 processors and they are generally offered at very low prices. Can you please explain me why E5-1650V4 and E5-1680V4 retain so high prices?? Seems irrational to me. I have an E5-1620V3 processor that you seem to be able to find all around from 20 to 50 EUR but the jump to E5-1650V4 seems gigantic (it is impossible to find a processor in europe that costs less than almost 200 EUR!!!). The odd fact is that you can easily spot deals for branded workstations (Dell 5810, HPZ440, Lenovo Thinkstation) with those E5-1650V4 CPUs in the 380-600 EUR range...
Thats because they just hit the 5 year mark so all the big companies that retire equipment after 5 years are cycling them out to resellers/recyclers.$150 is pretty low for 14 core CPU, I am actually surprised about it. I am not in rush to replace my V3s but I wonder if prices will ever go lower than that for the new few years. It seems like V4's are already getting dumped at high rate.
About 10W idle and TDP limited at max loadHas anyone measured the power draw of one of these?
About 10W idle and TDP limited at max load
I wouldn't be surprised if someone here at least measured the difference from another chip, with all things otherwise equal. Even just the overall system draw with one of these would be helpful.How do you determine the power draw on a CPU ?
Yup. It's all the "other" stuff in the system that ends up consuming a lot of power. As an e.g., this is a screenshot of HW Info from my domain controller, which is an i3-3220 on a thin-ITX (Gigabyte B75-TN) motherboard with 2x 2GB DDR SO-DIMMs and a passive heatsink.2687wv4 (12 cores, 160W TDP) consumes 12W at idle with High Performance profile active in Win10 (not sure, but most likely doesn't do cores parking).
