Is it safe to buy the ES Chips from overseas or do you all stick with North American Sellers?
This was my first purchase from over-seas and it worked out fine. I think the biggest issue is making sure you know EXACTLY what you are buying, and sometimes that means getting the seller to provide additional info for you. Some over-seas sellers are great about it getting you additional info, others, not so much. I know one ES seller from Japan isn't overly helpful on extra details, even when the listing clearly has incorrect information in it.

Swapped to an Asus Z10P-16 WS.............The documentation for this board and the features on it are complete shit. Buy the SuperMicro boards.
Had to buy the 32gb of Crucial DDR-4 ECC

The machine booted into a windows install one time will not finish booting at this point. Even after CMOS reset.

It won't finish booting a linux USB image.
Won't finish booting a win-10 install USB image.

Meh, the one time it booted, here's Cinebench R15.
4,276 is alright.

CPUID
CPU-Z VALIDATOR






Passmark CPU score was 25,000.



No idea what to do with it at this point. Exhausted every bios option, board jumper & hardware I have. (Wont load with one CPU and one stick of ram also)

Do not bother with Windows on a USB stick.
I had the same problem. Windows 10 on cd worked for me.

Good luck

The ES seller from Japan is apparently Chinese so it appears that there is a language barrier. However he will confirm the spec code if needed. He does also have the E5-2683 V3 at one of the cheapest prices too and has plenty in stock too.
You're better off w/ the QFQK QS chip that shipping from TX for $25 more that someone referenced earlier (and I picked up as well).

hmmm that's weird. I have no problem at all with ASUS Z10PE-D16 WS. Did you update to the latest BIOS?

Had that problem too - same board and CPU. Eventually ended up using an SD card that had a Win ISO image via Rufus (software, not person). SD into SD reader, that into the USB. Works like charm.

the E5-2690 v4 ES can turbo up one or two cores to 3.0ghz, all cores to 2.5Ghz.
uncore at 1600mhz seems not normal to 12+ core cpu.

The 2690 v4 Retail edition turbos all cores too 3.2ghz

My ES version turbos all cores to 3.0 ghz and 2 cores to 3.2 and scores higher than 18 core processors clocked at 2.3ghz and the 20 core 2698v4 beats it by not much aswell

I wonder if the Ebay seller is falsely advertising a 2690v4, it looks like a 2660v4, or an early 2690v4

3305.

1200w PSU that could put up with a 300w CPU and two 450w video cards, so I know it's not struggling with two little xeons.
Coolers and pumps are spinning fine (140mm AIO)
Temps report 40c range idling in UEFI


It's stuck doing this:
That's trying to run a windows 10 install USB key (new key from crucial) that boots on another PC.
If trying to boot a pre-installed win10 SSD; it hangs in the same spot and instantly reboots.
Debian on a USB key wont load either.


No idea how it booted the first time no issue and can't do it now. Even after CMOS resets, CPU & video reseating.

3.0 Ghz on all cores




the confusion was, that the guy who was thinking about buying a 2690v4 linked you to a somewhat missleading listing by the seller

Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 Broadwell-EP CPU 2.1GHz 14-Core 135W Max 3.0GHz QH2M ES
this has a max all core of 2.5ghz (QH2M) exactly the same as an es 2660v4 which it most probably is. (even the reviewer said it was capped at 2.5)

This listing however is a 2690v4 ES QHV5

Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 2690 V4 35M Cache, 2.40 GHz 14-CORE QHV5
(specs on the bottom are wrong, he is linking the sandybridge 2690v1)

exactly like the one I got

my 2690v4 can score 2200 on cinebench (uploaded photo) (BCLK overclock would have boosted my score)

the full retail which turbos 3.2ghz on all scores 2223 on cinebench,
if my 2690v4 had only an all core speed of 2.5 i suspect my score would be 1500-1700

How about the RAM? did you buy the exact ECC RAM from the VQL list on ASUS support website? and also don't forget to follow the exact RAM position configuration from manual.

Installing windows 10 from usb key did not work for me either. I tried installing from cd drive and worked right away.
As for the pre-installed win 10 on a ssd I don't expect that to work.
Have you tried installing windows from a cd drive?

3.0 Ghz on all cores
So this one goes to 3.2GHz max when using 1-2 cores right? Or is it even higher?
And could you please run corona renderer benchmark on it? (if you're using one cpu) There are 2690V4 results, but probably from retail cpus.
With the 2686V3 sold out again, this could be my other option.
Already bought an Asrock X99 WS board for the build :)

2 cores turbo to 3.2ghz on the ES version and 3.5ghz on the retail version

I don't have that benchmark but I'll download it and run it when I can. But the 2690v4 ES version is closer to its Retail counterpart than almost any other V4 xeon (not including step 1 es versions) so the results won't be far off at all (5-7%)

Sorry , im sure someone else has posted this but I cannot find it (I read about half the comments).

This one, 2630v4 ES Stepping 1 by CPU-Z

Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 ES 2.2GHz LGA2011-3 10C Compatible with X99 i7-5820K 5960X

Looks fine to you guys? It states 12-31 x multiplier range which matches the retail. I have an X10SRH-CF which the seller states should work. What do you guys think? Can someone pass it through their BS filter and let me know if I'm missing something.

That one looks good. It turbos all cores to 2.4 ghz and it's quite cheap

How is Intel Xeon E5 2680 V4 ES 2.2Ghz

Instead now looking at Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ES
It says Stepping 1 in the CPUZ Screenshot. Would want to use this on an X10DAI board.

Also found Intel Xeon E5 2673 V3 QS - thoughts on this one?

It would be for a workstation - i do mainly video editing at this point.

thanks
I would go for the 2673v3 looks like an oem version and it should have the same compatibility with retail xeons. Turbos all cores to 2.7ghz,

depending on which editing program you're using, clock speed is quite important (at least in Adobe premiere) not sure about avid etc, hell even the 6700k does pretty good

But defiantly the 2673v3 es is the better choice
