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.....

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. Contact ASRock Tech Support at http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp" rel="nofollow - http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp |

$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. |

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. https://postimg.org/image/rqdo39ytv/" rel="nofollow - https://postimg.org/image/rqdo39ytv/

" rel="nofollow - Oracle ordered some 11C/22T Xeons. That's the weirdest one I'm aware. 11-Core?? WTF |

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. |
