Alright, for sale here is the makings of one super-epic workstation! Use it for heavy crunching, 16 cores and 32 threads of awesome.
Check the HWiNFO, CPU-Z and Cinebench scores from this actual hardware above. As you can see, all cores run at 3.4Ghz minimum with multi-core speed of 3.6-3.8 Ghz. With the included coolers you will also see that temps stay very, very reasonable, mid-30s under load. You\'ll also notice that the ram is running at full clock speed (1600Mhz). All of this without high v-core and with speedstep enabled. The motherboard isn\'t some re-purposed server board, but one of the best dual-cpu workstation mobos ever.
This rig kills it, absolutely crushing an i7-6950X.
The best part is, it all just works. High-end dual processor workstation hardware is extremelyfinicky and you need the right components in the right configuration.
Includes:-2x Intel Xeon E5-2687W v2 Ivy Bridge-EP 3.2GHz (printed) 3.4Ghz (actual) 25MB L3 Cache LGA 2011 150W workstation processors. 3.6Ghz multi-core turbo, 3.8Ghz single-core turbo. Late-cycle ES CHIPS, CPU -multiplier- overclockable on this motherboard
-8x NANYA 16GB 2RX4 PC3-12800R ECC Memory @ 1600mhz
-Asus Z9PE-D8 WS Workstation Motherboard - Intel C602 Chipset - Socket R LGA-2011
-2x NH-U14S Noctua Tower CPU coolers
-4x Noctua NF-A15 fans for push-pull heatsink operation
One note, as you\'ll see in the pictures the locking tab on PCIE slot 1 has come off. This has no effect on functionality, I had a graphics card in there for years, but I thought I\'d mention it.
Hit me up with any questions. Thanks for looking.
