need HWinfo screenshot, cpu-z says nothing.
identify a QS v3: on CPU-Z screenshot there is stepping 2 and a revision showing.
but a little warning, some seller selling cpu as QS which is NOT one...
ok I'm getting two of these.
351746585659 | eBay
although this one is cheaper and the cpu-z shows a stepping of 2 and revision M0 similar to the other one.
272254848452 | eBay
I'm confused right now which one should I get ?

They look identical from the cpu-z data. There's a number of other sellers (although most are overseas) selling the same processor (not the ES versions) at the $350 price point, so I would think its legit. I would take that chance to save $300 with the only cost being a longer shipping time, especially since the overseas sellers have very good feedback.
Here is the promised build for my recent dual ES xeon E5-2689 v4
I works stable and great so far for heavy rendering. Too bad, just a windows OS thing, some application could not use the second CPU to render a file. I might need Linux for affinity stuff

Alternatively for $500 you could get the 2686v3, which offers you 4 more cores and potentially a higher turbo speed
Do you notice any issues with rendering (i.e. artifacts, etc) that arise from the ES nature of the chips? Some ES chips have bugs and missing functionality. Which programs are you having trouble with using all CPUs?
Also what motherboard are your running? you mentioned considering the asus z10 ws boards. Any luck doing BCLK overclocking as well?

I just notices that the clock speed is lower (0.4 Ghz lower) This is expected from ES cpu, nah but it works fine so far, no bugs or glitches.
$120???? holy shitt Where are you from? Supermicro board or asrock is relatively cheap
that's strange because I have sent Playstation 3 to Europe from US and it's only costing me around $40 using USPS
What country? May be ask seller to pay via paypal(Without ebay at all). Potentially this will could save you ~10% and any taxes.
Or just find friends in US, ship there?
ps. Guys, I'm trying to decide if I want Dual CPU system or not. If yes - it will be 2x 2658. If single CPU - may be something faster or just stick with 2658v3.
I can run 2658 v3 on regular x99 mobos, right?
Pretty much all I need is ability to put several PCI-X devices (long slot) and 8 mem slots.
I would bet there are European resellers that are cheaper?
Maybe: Socket 2011-v3 - Xeon - Intel Xeon Socket 2011-v3 motherboards X99 - Scan.co.uk
Hey good for you! 4200+ score in CB 15. looks good. I need to wait before I can install my mobo and cpu'ste I just ordered the thermaltake core WP2000 case. So that I can put my server/render node ( E5 2670 also from ebay ) and workstation in one! case.
I was building my own case but that was not going to well.
cheers!
