Some time back, I found a decent deal on BNIB Chenbro RM13604's for 65 dollars shipped, so I bought a few.
I took a bit of a gamble with the X9DRW (being "proprietary WIO"), and I was pleasantly surprised to see all the mount points line up.

How is the noise level under load? I would imagine rather loud with all the 40mm fans and two CPUs that get warm when they are working hard.
Oh for sure... it gets loud... those little fans are noise makers when they get going.
Still, an awesome looking, clean build, created out of budget purchases. That is a lot of power packed into 1U
I put in an offer for 3 CPUS at $50/cpu. At that point I can't pass up deal and I'd get the rest of the kit to go along with this setup and upgrade my entire gaming rig. 2 for my primary rig, 1 for a server upgrade.
Why do I need 32cores to play Worlds of the Warcraft? Because More DOTs and DEEPESS. That's my logic. That's what I'm going with. Yessir.

Still waiting. I doubt it, but you never know.
I may haggle them down from their reply whatever it is to see. If I get it sub $60 I'm going full bore with my plans to get everything ready for my new workstation build.
Why are we only getting the procs? Where are the systems that this procs came from? Mobos are still a little bit expensive.
Me thinks that the availability of these processors for cheap is driving the cost of the boards thru the roof. Sellers know that if you buy the chip you gotta have the board to run them in. Not too long ago I scored a Super Micro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD for $199. Ain't gonna touch one for that now. Hopefully the boards will come back down. I have 2 extra processors waiting in hibernation.
Im trying to remember the time when we got the 6100. IIRC, the CPUs flooded the market before the full systems.
Perhaps the seller would reveal the where, if they were asked. The speculation, far above, is google & FB upgraded.
The interesting question is what V2 processor replaces the E5-2670? When they EOL the systems both the E5 V2 and motherboards will be plentiful.

First post in here
I've been reading this thread for a while now and finally I'm going to buy a pair of this processors, but getting a mobo has been a PITA, I'm from México so 99% of my options are from the US and get them shipped here, high prices+shipping+taxes make it harder for me to get one... but just today I found an Intel s2600cp motherboard at a reasonable price (arround 300) here in Mexico, what do you guys think of that motherboard?
The PC would just be a rendering-gaming workstation (3dsmax, revit, autocad) to upgrade from a 2500k @4.2Ghz. What makes me worry is that the pcie 3.0 16x is right below the left most cpu socket making it imposible to install a videocard in there (would interfere with the second cpu memory slots.. I think..

@mathab I think you'll be fine. Your card should extend in the other direction away from the memory. My GTX970 for example doesn't extend over the pcie slot in that direction at all.
Just measure the card you have now and make sure it doesn't have something wonky hanging off that way, but you should be good.
Also welcome to STH!

I just bought the same board, and I'm waiting for it to shipped to me.
I can't tell exactly which heatsink it is from the pictures, but most of them look like you could run a small fan on them if it's getting too warm
Did you manage to find a way to cool it?
