Product ReviewsIntel Xeon E5-2670 2.6GHz 8-Core Technology (SR0KX)

Amazing Deal on Looks-like-new, Smoking Fast Xeon Processors; Great for Video or Scientific Computing

My processors arrived looking brand new - no scratches, no dings. I now have a 16 core Xeon + motherboard + RAM + PSU for less than the price of a fast i7.

I followed the instructions here (search for "1155-affordable-dual-xeon-pc"). I did purchase 128GB of ECC RAM instead of 64GB of non-ECC RAM, which was a $200 premium. This fully populated the RAM slots on the motherboard, but also fully enables the 4X memory channels on each CPU.

The machine is stable under memtest86, prime95, and with everyday usage under Windows 10. I do a lot of scientific computing and this is a big step up from my i7-3960k.

Be warned that most (all?) of the dual socket motherboard that can hold these chips are server motherboards and require a larger than usual case: look for XL-ATX.Read full review...

Great product for video editing and rendering!

-Pros: 8 cores per one processor, helps a lot with rendering times.
-Pros: The price, they are very cheap!

-Cons: Coreclock is rather slow(2,6Ghz boosts upto 3Ghz on all eight cores),but thats nothing the seller can do about!
-Cons: These processors are kind of old, but agen the seller can do nothing about it!
-Cons: This model doesn't have vt-x working, but agen the seller can do nothing about it!

Overall very good product, would recommend!Read full review...

Excellent power for the value!

Received this chip for an absolute bargain (less than $60 shipped), and it arrived pretty fast. Slapped it in my X79 Asus Rampage IV Gene motherboard and updated the BIOS, and it works like a champ! Did a few stress tests to make sure nothing was wrong, and I'm extremely satisfied. 8 core - 16 thread processor that competes head to head with the latest i7 series processors and outdoes them in a numerous about of benchmarks. Very happy!Read full review...

Great performings Procs

These procs really wake up servers that run E5-26XX procs whether single or dual. This set has performed extremely well in Exchange server single and dual proc roles (replacing E5-2620s) and single proc 2012R2 setups with one Hyper-V machine running Exchange 2013.Read full review...

Great Value CPU

Render performance in Revit has increased substantially over my i7-4820K, having effectively doubled the number of cores for only $100 on a CPU that cost $1,500 new. I have heard that the price of LGA 2011 motherboards have skyrocketed, so the value you get will vary depending on whether or not you already have the mobo like I did.Read full review...

Best 8-core 16-threads you can find.

Really powerful for rendering or video editing.
Not easy to find a good motherboard on the used market.
Be careful with the stepping for virtualization.

great product, it is fully functional

Intel CPU of this class is OK as usual. Especially for this price. We use it in our renderfarm and it was very good upgrade to our renderfarm power and efficiency.
