Just got the chip off the net from Chaptan of Weeabooland. Going to throw it into my X99 rig... Wish me luck.
Just got a E5-2630v3 ES here goes

if it gives you issues check for a BIOS update.

Don't fuck it up.

Nice chip! What's the retail on one of those?
Charles Walker
about $700
Robert Phillips
130 bucks

Sebastian Flores
Why is it jewing you 0.2 Ghz?
James Turner
It's an engineering sample. There's a cost of owning these
>This is why I'm documenting it. It's a cheap CPU for X99 that I'm going to make a video aboutabout in a week.
Wyatt Hall
Engineering samples are Intel property, so you might want to think twice about suggesting them if you have a legit site. Intel doesn't police the sales too hard, but if you start advertising them and advertising you have one, they're not likely to let that slide.
Jaxon Sanders
What is the benefit of having such a chip? Are they any more impressive than the consumer chipset produced with the same specs?
Benjamin Nguyen
ECC memory support and no iGPU.
Kevin Mitchell
Sorry
I'm not recommending this chip. This is a used X99 board, and I needed a chip to test in it. All my X99 chips are not in there, but my old ads Quadro is.
Other than getting into X99 easy, and getting on Intels' shot list... Not much. If X97 motherboards weren't so pricy used, that would be a better deal. The E5 2670 runs better than this, and it can be had for about 50 bucks.
>X99 is for peripherals, low end workstations, and enthusiast computer junkies
Jace Lee
Never used ECC memory before. Is it common to populate only one side with memory modules?
Alexander Cook
Meant the sticks of ram themselves with the memory chips.
Zachary Reed
Not using ECC, and that's how quad channel is set up

Are you poor?

Are you retarded?
Lincoln Rodriguez
>E5 2670
Do want. I need to get a fucking job so I can put together a 2P. x265 should be rolling out 2.0 soon and a quad just isn't going to cut it.
Asher Diaz
what is an e5 2686 v3?
18 cores cheaper than a fucking 5820k
Hunter Collins
msi motherboard...oh god,i hope you have a fire insurance
Ayden Evans
I buy 8 core chips for my last string test chips.
>This is like golf... 2 cores FTW
That CPU is 50~70 bucks due do a shot load being liquidated. It's the motherboards you need, but you can just wait those out on ebay/Craigslist.
Adam King
I'm betting double for trouble

Wait, that takes some sort of proprietary PSU, doesn't it?
Robert Campbell
You that doode with the wooded case?
Jacob Walker
Used to be that ES had unlocked multis, not sure if that's always the case anymore though. My W3680 ES has an unlocked multi.
Brayden Bell
Is this the one you could get off Taobao for 32 dollars?
Kevin Walker
That's actually me with an ivyb e5-2667v2. Have yet to get that bastard to post yet, waiting on a bios chip for the mobo right now. Then I'll start making plans for the case.
OP probably got his chip from the same nip, though.
Parker Richardson
Forgot pic.
Adam Sanders
It doesn't appear to be the case anymore
I don't know who Taobao is
Did you get any other chip to boot off that board?
I'm getting some sleep. Didn't sleep last night, and I need rest. Then I'm finishing an UBCD thrashing of my new budget rig.
>specs
2630v3 ES... DUH
MSI X99 SLI PLUS USB 3.1 varient
16GB 2133 Crucial memory Quad Channel
Nvidia Quadro 1700
Hyper Evo 212

Most of this is old stuff that I had readily available. I bought the MoBo and CPU used. The RAM is new though. The only other thing is I'm using a Zowie mouse, and a Unicomp Terminal Keyboard.
Cameron Rivera
>doesn't appear to be the case anymore.
Alas, could have been good fun.
Noah Gomez
Baseclock overclocking is still a thing though, but everything else gets hit when you do that
>I wish this had the separate bclk for the cpu like skylake. So, expect that with the next X chipset... Or, you might be able to get it with whichever company has the "X170" thing-a-magig

What am I in for?
Nathan Lewis
Unfortunately I don't have a 2011 Sandy chip on hand to test with. But I got the board to power on, and the only error indication was the cpu led stayed lit solid. Unfortunately the P9X79 boards seem to have a common issue with the usb bios flashback, or I just don't know wtf I'm doing. But for 13$ I just bought an eeprom with the latest bios. (latest bios supports up to 128gb of ram good lawd.)
Post something that actually shows it being an es chip, because like mine it has all the retail printing on the ihs
cpu-world.com
Yours should be labeled qgzx instead of sr206 if not labeled intel classified. Also, the drawback to the engineering samples that I found in my digging around is they don't have the turbo clocks, but may have some unlocked / missing features or instruction sets.
Really hoping mine doesn't have the turbo locked out, that's one of the biggest draws to the chip. But fuck, it'll still hopefully hit 4+ghz with little issue, hopefully.
David Gomez
Bls resbond
Joseph Kelly
Bios chip arrived. Success! Kind of. Nothing in bios to confirm chip.
Ian Bell
Gave me a compatability error at post, but this chip is supposed to be compatable with the latest bios which I have. Need to figure out what this error code is for.
Looks like the guy before me tried installing his own bios chip and did it incorrectly, fucking thing popped right out, and one of the pins was bent.
Kayden Torres
poor build quality,but atleast the bios does its job unlike in gigabytes x99 boards,where installing a non-supported memory kit/stick can brick the motherboard
if you are on budget,go for x99 extreme 3 or 4 from asrock,they should be around 200 eurobucks or dollars
Kevin Walker
Are they any actual legal repercussions to owning them? Is this a case of at this point in time all of them should be intel's hands and they've been stolen?
Because those 2686 chips on ebay look very tempting regardless.
Gavin Wilson
Why are people dumb enough to fall for the ES chip meme?
Colton Murphy
because stealing from intel is the right thing to do
Leo Allen
and why ES when you can have OEM-chips too?
Aiden Bell
$20 says it's an ES, I wouldnt trust a chinese seller unless it had a picture with the S-code, and even then I wouldnt check it again when it arrives and still half expect it to be broken or defective.
Jacob Adams
>buying shit that can be legally taken from you
Ian Reyes
Intel is mostly concerned with blacklisting/suing the person who sold them. It's not only not worth their time and makes zero financial sense, but it would be bad publicity for them to go after the buyer. Though if you were to publicly source ES and treat them as some sort of legitimate alternative, you'd quite possibly be getting a letter from Intel legal asking you to cease and desist and demanding their property back.
Cameron Carter
Hey, if they`d swap me for a retail copy, I`d be happy to send it back to them.
Gavin Turner
Why would they ever in a million years send you a free chip to get their stolen property back?
Gavin Morgan
It`s not free, and I didn`t steal it. Plus there have been stories of such things happening and intel shipping people higher model chips in exchange.
Ryan Lewis
>stories
they're just stories user, that doesnt generally happen.
Joshua Kelly
>It`s not free
Yes, it is. You give them nothing for it.
>I didn`t steal it
Then you should go to your local fencer's house and buy everything. When the cops come, just say you weren't stealing since you paid for it.
Jose Hernandez
I`d assume people don`t readily hand over shit without some form of compensation. You don`t really think intel would seriously be like "Oh thanks for contacting us about that, go ahead and send that back to us and get fucked." Whether it`s legally theirs or not, that would be insane.
Ignorance is key, how are you supposed to know what you`re buying from some guy on craigslist is stolen? Ultimately, if they were really that concerned about 3 year old chips. They wouldn`t be rampant on the internet.
ANyhow, I gotta go. Was fun while it lasted anons.
Brody Jones
Michael Sanchez
Yeah that covers my thoughts on this conversation that's going on. You don't buy burner chips when you expect to keep them.
Daniel Cruz
More than you can afford, Xeon.
James Rodriguez
>Intel
Why the fuck would OP care what Intel thinks if OP isn't selling them? Intel isn't going to punish the buyer...
