Decided to order a E5-2697 v2 12 core chip off ebay to drop in my old x79 platform replacing a 6 core 3930k (seems like that is the highest chip released for that platform). Anyone do a similar upgrade to extend their old x79 platforms? Still planning on upgrading to the next threadripper, but for a drop in cpu upgrade while still being able to use the 64gb ram I have in there, seems like it will be pretty nice for video encoding / multimedia work.
