When the V1 2670 is under $100 it is hard to bring oneself to pay $500 a piece for the v3. Maybe in the spring

YOU CAN NOT MIX CPU
both cpu must have same type AND specs/stepping. 2 of the same ES works.
A OEM cpu and a ES can not have same specs/steppings.
OK, the next report:
got this Item:
Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 ES M0# LGA2011-3 12C Compatible with X99 i7-6900K 6950X
HWinfo64 shows it as E5-2676v3 , that is a custom cpu for amazon datacenters based on MCC E5-2690v3 layout.

Wow that 2676v3 is interesting. I wonder what's different about it compared to the 2690v3.
Would be interesting if someone could get their hands on that 200W xeon for dells watercooled builds 2679v4

I think the 2676 v3 was an Amazon part for AWS. Slightly more speed than the 2670 v3 because they can guarantee the thermal conditions
AWS Offers 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 Haswell processors ~ Converge! Network Digest
How did AWS customise an Intel CPU for its new EC2 M4 instance? - Quora
Correct. It is extremely rare for a CPU/System vendor to do cross spec testing. As you can imagine it adds exponentially more cases that have to be tested in systems with little to no possible return. You are talking about CPUs where it already take 12+ months of post silicon testing to get through the test plans and adding in cross spec testing would likely increase that to 12+ years easily and require orders of magnitude more resources and money.
These like the other custom parts are basically special order items that gain benefit from reduced system variance. AWS/Dell agree to a stricter thermal/electrical environment in return for increased performance. Think of them simply as server grade K parts. There is a little more guarantee as they are spec'd with consent/cooperation of Intel proper but they do have extremely strict thermal/electrical bounds.
Hi guy's!
I just signed up to ask 2 questions.
#1 what do you guys think of this e5 2698 V4 Intel Xeon E5 2698 V4 ES QHUZ 2.0Ghz 50MB 20Core LGA2011 14nm 135W Processor CPU
I just bought 2 of those and hope they’re going to be stable for some render crunching.
#2 I was thinking of getting te ASUS Asus Z10PE-D8 WS
Is there a better mobo out there that can suit me better?
So please let me know what you guys are thinking/
Thanks!

Will your rendering software be able to utilize all these cores?
If the software that you'll be using is limited to a specific number of cores I would choose less cores with higher speed per core.
Hey I just bought the same Xeon and Motherboard you asked! Can't wait to see the result!
But I'm not buying Z10PE-D8 WS, I rather buy D16 WS counterpart, people have so much problem with D8 WS in the past, not so sure with the current revision...If I were you, I would stick with D16 WS as it's more reliable
There are some alternative too for the motherboard, such as:
Supermicro x10DAi or ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16
But be careful with supermicro board, their E-ATX form factor is not a standard, you either have to buy their properiatery chassis or drill you own case
WHat motherboard was that?Forgot the cheapest one, maybe its enough for someone

Why is the D16 more reliable? The D8 is newer i heard and has a M.2 x4 speed 32GB/s The D16 had x2 speed.
The only down side of this cpu is that is a 0 stepping. So I'll be holding my breath when I pop those suckers in
I don't know, I have been conducted a research between D8 WS and D16 WS and more people ranting on D8 WS. Maybe, just maybe because the number of people using D8 WS is larger than D16 WS. Also you need to make sure that your D8 WS manufacture date is above Oct 2015. If not, you won't get a proper support for Xeon E5 v4 seriesWhy is the D16 more reliable?

Sure! C4D and arnold renderer and V-ray loves cores.
Just likte the cookie monster love's his cookie's.
The more the merrier
I just sold my i7 5960X so I could buy those puppies. ( cant wait
)Yeah thanks for the heads-up. I read about that. which baord are you getting?
It's going to take a couple of weeks for my cpu's ( Holland ) So I have plenty of time to nose around for the best board
I just bought D16 WS. It's way cheaper than D8 WS in amazon right now and see a better customer rating than D16 WS. So yeah that's one of my biggest buying decision factorYeah thanks for the heads-up. I read about that. which baord are you getting?

Do you have more info about the cpu's we bought?
Did you also bought it from the same seller on ebay?
Not so much but I have seen people using the same software I used for 3D effects simulation stuff, it looks like they got it working well, yup ES Xeon.
No, I bought from a different seller than yours. Mine is from japan
