so if i give you two x5650's you'll give me two x5680's? You need these for folding? why not use the x5680s?
 
I assume it's because of the TDP, he is looking for 95w cpu's, the x5680's are 130w.
 
Could also look at x5675 - they are 95w.

A lot of server boards are limited to the 95w lga 1366 cpu's. Usually down to availability of power on the boards. Asus' Z8NA-D8 will only take 95w cpu's and has one eps plug, its bigger brother has 2 eps plugs and can take 130w cpu's
 
Yes, I have some rackmount servers which only boot when 95W CPUs are in place. I tried using the X5680's and the server won't POST. :(

I had forgotten about the X5675's, but they'll definitely work too.
 
I have two BNIB X5650, but I am not gonna be using your X5680 for folding.. they'll go in my ESXi server.
If you are still willing to trade, please shoot me a PM.
thanks,
