Want to borrow/rent/buy a Xeon E5 v1 LGA2011

[uOpt]

I have a non-posting board with dual socket 2011 E5 v2s. I have no reason to rule out that the problem is that the BIOS has never been updated for v2. The sticker on what looks like the bios chip makes no sense and cannot directly represent the version number flashed. Board is a Supermicro X9DR3-F.

Is anybody in a position to make an E5 v1 available to me? I'm flexible, rent for pay, borrow, buy if it's a cheap one. I'll leave a deposit for rentals. Have European licorice and wine gums as inventive

Where are you located, I live in The Netherlands and have an e5-2609 v1 that I am not using that much.

Well, if you are ok with paying for shipping you can borrow/rent/whateveryouchose mine. Dont think the shipping will be very expensive but it wont be cheap either.
Edit: Think patriot might be cheaper

Customs might be interesting, if you want a US option.... flat rate is $5... I have v1 spares.

Borrowing in the works. Thanks so much!

I dislike non-working computers.
