Hey,

I just bought 3 E5-2680v4 (have not arrived yet), but they have HP frames and I do not have HP servers. As far as I know, the HP frames are not compatible with standard 2011 sockets

I would like to trade

3 E5-2680 v4 with blue HP frame / carrier
against
3 E5-2680 v4 without carrier (bare CPU)

Because I could just remove (destroy) the frame, I'm not willing to pay too much for shipping, so this would have to be inside Germany


Cheers

Yeah, but that means that somebody else who would like to have CPUs with frames needs to re-glue them to the frame...

I'll keep this open for a week or two. If there's to chance to arrange the swap that's fine, but otherwise I'll just remove the frames and maybe try to get rid of them
