Your homework results are impeccable. If my power goes down for more than a few minutes, I'll have to stop my Folding machines. Although I have a very good backup power generator, it is not good enough to keep the computers' UPSes from switching on and off continuously. Generators with high enough power capacity and inverter technology were just too expensive.rock solid sine curves

I very much enjoyed reading your generator summary.
What do you do that you can afford that monster of a generator, and where can I sign up?
The generator is less than the 2 new CPUs.Heck, those four CPUs alone probably cost as much as the generator
Nathan,
With these CPUs (btw, these are retail versions), I am very curious if a E5-2697v2 system can match the energy efficiency of the i4P systems. My working assumption is that the dual socket system should be in the 600-650k ppd range (with 8102-8105 units). The second assumption is a power consumption well below 400 watt, probably closer to 320-350 watt. So, in a best case scenario of 650k ppd and 320 watt, the dual socket system would achieve more than 2000 ppd/watt. With 600k ppd and 350 watt, this would be 1715 ppd/watt. Both numbers would be better than my E5-4650 system (approx 1500 ppd/watt). If it is really along those lines, I consider this impressive for a dual socket system - given the lever of the QRB system favors the 4 socket systems.
quickz,Looking forward to your PPD report, and I'm a little curious why did you still buy two E5-2687W (v1) CPUs while E5 v2 series are doing much better on PPD/watt?

and c) a nice - but unreadable - graphics seem to demonstrate that this CPU is much more capable the anything Intel offered before.
Thanks. I'll report back.Best of luck.
Bummer,
Post Code 00 is what I get if I try to put B0 chips in my Asus Z9PE-D16/2L. I think it means something like it doesn't have a clue how to initialize the chips. That is pretty disappointing that Asus would mess up that badly. Hopefully they have a beta bios they have been using for testing that they can give you that will get the chips running. Perhaps they need to get a new Intel ME version out or something like that, or update something a little deeper than the bios.
This CPU is on the official supported list for this BIOS (5103) I am using- please see link posted above.lacking microcode I would assume. waiting on that bios update!
Hi DooKey.Have you tried a complete CMOS clear? Remove the battery and let it sit for a while. Then try to boot one of the new cpus.
yes
Yes please!
im coming back to folding this year, because im building a new render box.
has anyone tried these 26xx v2 with a supermicro X9DAi? i like the look of the barebone system they have with it, because im basically lazy.
I was thinking of buying a single 2680 v2 or 2690 v2 for now and adding another one when i can afford it in a couple of months.
if its going to work, should i just get ram for one CPU now (4x4 im thinking) and get the other ram when i get the other CPU?
and will a single one be able to do bigadv?

The X9DAI does support the V2 with the R 3.0 BIOS, however if you are using B0 SB-E chips (like I am), you are out of luck with BIOS support.
From Supermicro Tech support:
"The E5-2650 with BO Stepping looks like the Engineering Sample which might not support by our latest BIOS Rev. 3.0. E5-2650 with C1 Stepping has been qualified by our Lab."

Yes, B0 stepping SB-E (E5 v1) is not supported by many boards any longer with latest BIOS.
But for the IVB-E (E5 v2), as for as I see, B1 chips (stepping=2) are well supported by X9DAi with BIOS Rev 3.0.
Yes but B1/B2 chips very rarely work in a 2p board so that's even worse, also bios support was pulled ages ago in most updates
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I scored a B0 12c v2 off ebay. Anyone actually got some mobo/BIOS combos that work instead of those that don't?
