Will do. CPU's will be here today. Wed or Thu for barebones and ram.
ASUS TS700-E8-PS4 5U/Tower Server Barebone 2 x Socket R3 (LGA 2011-3) Intel C612 PCH DDR4 2400 / 2133 / 1866 / 1600 RDIMM DDR4 2400 / 2133 / 1866 / 1600 LRDIMM - Newegg.comWhich ASUS server did you order? I assume from Newegg.com
I spent way too much money this Christmas on stuff, now I forced myself to wait 72 hours, if the ASUS server still available on Newegg by tomorrow ( or mid-night tonight ), then I may order one.
Well that is no good. Probably a silly question but do you have the latest bios flashed on the board? Have you been able to get a refund/replacement from the seller? Good luck!I bought a ES-2609V4 SR2P1 1.7GHz. Put it into ASRock Extreme4, 5 short beeps (processor failure). F this.....What a waste of time...
Short answer is it depends.So I have a question for you guys. I've got the bug and was considering doing another xeon build for my gaming PC to replace a i5 6600k (running at 4.6ghz). My question would be what would you recommend as a replacement? I had thought about a 1650 v3 retail since it's overclockable, but that's more expensive than an i7-6800k... Anyone who games on a xeon have any recommendations? I also considered a e5-2667 V4 since I thought the cores maintained a decent speeed. I really couldn't spend more than 350 on the cpu, so this may not be a realistic goal...
Yeah I figured it wasn't going to be a clear cut thing. Too bad the 16xx series are too expensive. I'll probably just pick up the 6800k from microcenter for $370 and call it good...Short answer is it depends.
Long answer:
It depends on what gaming you are doing and where the bottle neck is. Some games will take advantage of multiple cores and others are single threaded. I had a system with a E5-2676 V3 CPU and ran in to a wall with the FPS on world of warcraft as it is old and really uses a single thread. I swapped my gaming to a 6600K oc'd to 4.4ghz and the game runs much better. The E5-2667 V4 looks like it could be a good processor but again, it depends.
Got the barebones in and popped in the CPU's they seem to work great. Cinebench R15 is over 2300, stressing them with aida64 right now. Hottest core is 68c with the HSF that came with the barebones.I have 2 10 core E5-2650 V3 ES (QEYN) coming DHL today, signature required. Hopefully they will work in the Asus Barebones (z10pe-d16 ws board) I have coming. If not I will find some cheap x99 boards to throw them in for other uses. They were cheap enough as it was. At $150/ea the were cheaper than a new i5 CPU.
BIOS is quite recent. The CPU has damages to the contacts. Have to ship it back for a refund, a huge waste of time...Well that is no good. Probably a silly question but do you have the latest bios flashed on the board? Have you been able to get a refund/replacement from the seller? Good luck!
What motherboard do you plan to use it with?[/QUOTE said:considering : MSI X99A SLI PLUS
Great thnx for your reply!Shouldn't be an issue with compatibility for either the V3/V4 ES Xeons but I'd recommend the bios is up to date however.
What score do you get with your current 2600k setup? ES chips are usually lower than retail version. And, as you can see their hwinfo 64 window, the turbo will be 3.2 Ghz, not 3.5. I just set up two E5-2658 v3 QS (2.2 Ghz, 2.9 Ghz Turbo, 2.5 Ghz All Cores Turbo) with Supermicro X10-DRL-i motherboard. I measured the Cinebench R15 and I have 2850. My previous i5-3570k OC 4.4Ghz had 670 something.The supplier told me the turbo is around 3.5 GHZ but i don't really trust it.
Also the V4 is slower than my 2600K when i look at the cinebench score. Is that even possible? These V3 and V4 are both at 2,9 GHZ.
Great thanks. I just edited my posted with that actually.. good tip on the ES settingI would run something like Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool on the processor and let it stress test it just make sure to disable the check it has for engineering sample processors otherwise it may not let you do the test.
