Hi, I was just about to buy the
e5 2658 V4 from ebay when I noticed it says "LGA 1356-3" both in the product details on the page and the cpu-z screenshot.
I couldn't find anything on the internet about any E5-2658 V4 having this socket - they seem to be 2011-3.
So I was thinking.. Since the stepping of this would suggest it is a good chip, similar to the production chip, is it possible that the explanation is just that the seller put this chip into his socket 1356-3 mobo (is 2011-3 cpus backwards compatible with 1356-3?), and that it is indeed a similar model to
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2658 v4 (35M Cache, 2.30 GHz) Specifications - just a late QS ofc.
1 more question. According to my research the stepping of this cpu indicated that this would indeed be a good buy, very close if not similar to the retail cpu - can anybody in here verify if that is correct? (stepping 1, B0, M0, R0).
Edit:
If you look at
Intel’s Three Versions of Socket 2011, Not Compatible and compare the cpu to the right with the image of the cpu of the E5 2658 V4 I linked to on ebay, it would seem like it is indeed socket 2011(-3??????)
There is also
this one here the seller clearly states that this is LGA 2011-3 but I can't really be sure about the stepping (other than it says stepping 1), since the other cpuz images are missing, so you can't see more accurate info and details about the product. Also, earlier in this thread, a guy seemed to have had quite a bad experience with that seller. :-/
