Too, and I don't quite fully understand just how, this E5-2676 v3 is said not to suffer the AVX slowdown. Yea. I got bit by this years ago. Custom CPU's that aren't fully supported unless you can get someone to roll a BIOS to support it. Fully support that is. Now, triple channel might be a stretch considering AWS also obviously had a custom MB to match it. I don't think, now knowing triple channel, that they way the mem to cpu traces on a consumer MB are, will work with JUST a bios. I might be wrong there ........... I don't think I am sadly. |

I tested it on another motherboard. It works! Although it says memory controller is triple channel. I have an E5-2683V3 also that Ill slap into the Asrock mobo. :) Thanks.

$400 for a 12C/24T E5-2676 v3 on eBay is a deal. Maybe.............
The tough part is going to be to find a BIOS on a retail/consumer/enthusiast motherboard that supports it. |

The reason is the E5-2676 v3 is a "Custom' processor that went to Amazon as per Amazon's specs. As such it is not meant to be publicly available.

Anyone try this processor model on any Asrock mobo? Because this processor is not listed in their compatibility list, yet all other V3 Xeons are. I don't get it.....
