Holding out for 2667 v2's < 200$ ea (non-es)...because plex transcoding requires more Ghz

I wouldn't risk getting ES for these v2 cpu.. not really that much saving over non ES and risking possible compatibiliy issues....

Too bad that seller is only selling 1 cpu....hoping there will be a mass infllux of these for $250..... maybe i will trade in my pair of 2696 v2 for wider compatibility?

That shouldn't be a problem... you just have to watch for it at least once or twice a day on ebay. i got my pair for $375 shipped.
Damn. Yeah I have alerts set up. Every so often one pops up at <200$ but not a pair. I have no problem buying an unmatched pair, but I'd rather buy from the same seller. makes shipping/returns easier.

someone bought 12 cpu at once...lol..
at $470 for a pair that is actually the best deal ever... even better than the recent $465 for two 2696 as these 2697 are compatible with all MB..
