good perf/$ cpu+ram+mb combo if you like to tinker

these are particularly good if you unlock the turbo boost:

note that these xeons only support ddr4 at 1866mhz, but they do run at quad channel for extra bandwidth, so ideally you'd want 4 sticks of ddr4, this combo only has 2 sticks for dual channel

haswell ipc is around 10% behind current gen, but with the lower clock speed they lose up to 35% to ryzen 3600 in terms of single thread performance:

also note you also need your own cooler and motherboard battery not included

                @FabMan: i mean they use the C612 chipset as mentioned above, where that comes from idk. but the motherboard is not just the chipset, most of it are new components, check out the video on this product page: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000823916345.html

                in particular the capacitors are new, and they're usually the first components to fail

  does this motherboard have the no sleep function issue? (it does not go to sleep, just the monitor turns off)

  Will any cooler work for this?

    they look like standard LGA2011-3 mounts so check your cooler supports that, a lot of cheaper coolers don't support this
    I common problem on these cheaper boards is how close the ram is to the cpu socket too so ideally a cooler that the fan can be raised a little if required

  Buyer beware, but this mobo has realtek lan chip, which is notorious in freenas community for compatibility issue. All freebsd based os would have the same issue as well. Perhaps Linux as well, can't comment for sure.

    It can easily be fixed with Intel NIC addon card which isn't that expensive. I was able to grab 4 intel nic one for roughly 30 AUD.

      True, except if you want to add gpu for display.

      I think it's better to dump the mobo. Who knows what other crap stuff in there.

  How do i fit this cpu into 2nd cpu slot on my HP ML350 G9? Do I need extra parts like heatsink / fan to fit the HP motherboard?

    bobsmidie on 04/06/2020 - 18:34

    I'm confused? Just buy another CPU don't buy a mobo ram cpu combo. and then buy a fan/heatsink locally.

  Doesn’t seem that cheap for eight year old hardware and a no-name motherboard? Am I missing something?

    Ryzen cpus have killed any value in some of these old xeons floating around.

      Yeah but a cheap Ryzen and mobo and reuse old parts if you have any.

    DDR4 didn't even exist as a commercial product eight years ago?

      I think tech fast computers are for desktop, not server/ws.

        Still better value there 3500x and 1660 in better value even then the 2678 v3 package imo.

  I've recently tried ordering motherboard combos from 2 different sellers. Wuson and Machinist. Both orders had tracking numbers but after a few days came back as returned to seller. Wuson I requested aliexpress premium shipping, Machinist was Aliexpress standard. Machinist said they couldn't send via any other means. Wuson said they can only send via Y-line, EMS or DHL but I asked for a refund rather than wait any longer. Just thought you guys should be aware in case you run into similar issues as my guess is that this issue could be widespread.

    abctoz on 04/06/2020 - 21:15

    by my observation sellers have been putting premiums on shipping ever since covid, sellers won't post when they find out they undercharged for shipping. this seller in particular had postage of ~$15 just a week ago. now its substantially less at ~$5 and i wonder if things are improving or if the seller made a mistake…

  Refurb dell/HP probably better - includes full setup and similar speed CPUs.
