Hi Guys,
finally a forum where you can discuss ES Xeons without reading "those are illegal RABBLE RABBLE" every other comment. (we don't care)
I got my hands on a brand new Asus z10pe D8 ws for ≈ $200, and thought of getting some ES's to it, for a cheap but powerful server.
I read the article over at techspot and immediately though of the 2630 v4's. But in that article they talk about sr2r7 stepping, and as far as I can tell, this is production stepping, and those are no where near the $200 stated in the article.
This is the listing I'm eyeballing. (i know they're out of stock atm, but I messaged them and they said that they would get a restock)
What do I need to look for in 2630 v4's? And xtrememicro said that it would be compatible with my mobo. What are your experience/thoughts?
Would love any feedback I can get!
