Hey everyone, I am looking at buying this processor locally.
It is a Intel Xeon Haswell EP 1660 V3 8 core CPU 3ghz base, and a 3.2ghz turbo. It is a engineering sample, and in cup id, and Aida64, it list that the max multiplier ratio is X56 and the CPU is unlocked. Although, on the msi X99 board it was running on, allowed no such thing in the uefi bios .
Obviously at $450 I don't care if It can overclock or not. This is a great CPU at stock speeds!
But, this seems strange, some say they are unlocked. This one says the same thing in AIDA64 . It is a intel QEYZ chip.
I do not have my own X99 board yet. But, if there is a chance which one should I get for this Xeon version of a 5960X.
