A melted fan header isn't just something to be taken lightly, would definitely not accept a credit.
You can use the Kraken style coolers and then order this for narrow ILM.

That sir I do not know sorry. I haven't actually installed one of these, I'm assuming that it would work because of the size but I suppose could be wrong.
i'll wait until you install yours before i order any, i did pick up the brackets though, so thanks for that.
Seems like esiso has pulled the ebay listings for E5-2670. They still have them on their own website though: eSISO - INTEL E5-2670
Still several others sell them on ebay. One Hong Kong dealer has a good price.
Should be okay to buy? I'm just still twisting my head over this as I still need a board (X9DRL-IF seems to be a good fit) and ram.
Are you guys wary of purchasing used ram?
I almost pulled the trigger on a new X11SSH+Xeon E3-1230v5 build which is almost 1100 EUR with all new parts and 32GB ram.
But this E5-2670 business should give me much more for my money.

deepdiscountservers still have the E5-2670 listed.
And looking at board prices, I actually found it to be a little cheaper buying new versus eBay. Once you factor in shipping, new, with warranty is almost the same if not a little less than eBay.
I have quite a few of the X9 series... X9SCM, X9SRI, X9DR3/D. For example, I would not pay more than 100US for a X9SCM-F new. I bought mine new from Newegg during a sale for that price, and that was back in 2012.
Exactly.
You guys waited years/months (technically) for a 2011-r1 deal but are complaining boards are expensive... you're going to need to wait for a deal if you want to build a system for cheap cheap.
Boards are only expensive currently due to the huge influx of people wanting/needing them after buying the 2670's for dirt cheap.
Where are you guys seeing listings for used boards? All I see are new. Also RAM compatibility? Seems as long as I get some Reg ECC 1600Mhz variety they should all work? It is just that Supermicro doesn't bother testing much ram themselves so only lists a few kits on their site.
This seller will do individual for $14 each.

1600 is a bit more.

Here is a example of where Newegg "new" is cheaper than eBay "new" in the US...

And the return process with Newegg is easier than with some sellers... The eBay deal is the cheapest I could find this morning inc. shipping.
In Canada, it's even worse to look at eBay for these kinds of boards. With shipping some of the DR3's are over 700$ CDN, where it's closer to 600$ CDN shipped from NCIX or Newegg.ca.
As T_Minus says, you just have to wait if you want a good deal on eBay for this stuff.
