"2x Intel Xeon E5 V3 (like E5-2667 V3's) chips. These are the big 35MB L3 cache chips that run at a decently high-frequency 8C / 16T chips with a huge L3 cache. @Klee approved for Monero mining and great for MySQL. $650 for the pair. I have been using them in my desktop:"

If it would have been a couple of weeks ago , I would have been all over them but I already started another project.

These have sold out on ebay for several months.

These things are GREAT performance/price cpu's for a dedicated monero miner.

You can run ALL 16 threads on each cpu mining monero at 3.0 Ghz.

There are cpu's that are better but they are more money.

I do not run all threads, I leave two free for the two RX 480's affinity and I still use it as a desktop that is still VERY responsive.

I've been bugging Patrick to sell me them but it's a mystery what they will cost as of now

Count me in as interested in 1 of the 2U - 4-node system with 8x Xeon E5 V3 CPUs as well! I could retire several older 5600 series servers ;)

Those systems are being used for regressions of E5 V3/ V4 versus EPYC and future Intel systems right now. Need to ensure I have the data off them. Was hoping to but firmware on the new platforms has been a challenge.

You can keep the disks, we just want the rest of the spinning metals :)

@Patrick Any plans to start a Q3 thread? I'm looking for an E5 v4 and some matching RAM and hoping you may have some that you are swapping out.
