Picked up a few of these x99 DDR3 motherboards a while ago. Seems like a great deal with all those cheap E5-2673v3, E5-2676v3 and E5-2678v3's out there. Combining them with the E5-2673v3's i got this week at 100 euro's each it makes a decent workstation or perhaps a home server?
All these DDR3 x99 motherboards have the same compatibility, even if some are not mentioned. E5-2629v3, E5-2649v3, E5-2669v3, E5-2673v3, E5-2676v3, E5-2678v3, E5-2686v3 (not 100% sure) E5-2696v3 (i also tested with ES QEY8 2696v3 which for some reason is a 14-core and 3.0ghz turbo).
Only tested with registered DDR3 ECC memory at 1333/1600/1866mhz.
X99 AD3 - €103,- I purchased from another seller but found this offer on aliexpress US $111.88 21% OFF|HUANANZHI X99 AD3 Motherboard with M.2 NVMe Slot LGA2011 3 DDR3 4 Channel 4 x USB3.0 10 x SATA3.0 Ports-in Motherboards from Computer & Office on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
JINGSHA X99 - €90,- This one seems more interesting as its cheaper and has 8 dimm slots (up to 256GB DDR3). Wish i got this one instead, someone on this forums has some tests results on it as well i believe. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000083599095.html
E5-2673 v3 - €91,- (make sure to use a eBay euro website if you pay in euro's to avoid double conversion fees) SR1Y3 INTEL XEON E5-2673V3 2.40GHz 30M 12 CORES 5GT/s 105W PROCESSOR 656541856011 | eBay
Maybe this isn't a good deal at all, who knows, i just figured it would be unfair to keep my deals all to myself.
