Xeon e5 2670 on sale buy it now on ebay $80 dollars. I picked one up a month ago for 110, the circuits were beautiful and it runs like a champ. Is there a used chip out there that could beat that deal? mine scores 1060 on cinebench. 20 mb cache.. 8 core 16 threads. domination.

Geez..... This might be what I get. 

I can't think of any other 8 core that would beat this deal...

Bear in mind you have to drop the cash on a (rare and therefore even more expensive) X79 motherboard. Not saying it's not still a great idea to pick one up if you're building, but... it's something to think about.

What on earth is making these things go so cheap?

Even if you have to nut up for a good lga2011 board, it still is sooooooo reasonably priced. I like my dx79sr mobo, looks great in my case and if you aren't overclocking, which I am not, it works perfectly.

People throwing them out of old servers getting upgrades, it was a pretty common chip I believe

Ignoring the fact that I can get one for less than £60 (Motherboard, not CPU, that is £90) £150 For a 8 Core and board sounds pretty insane.

My current build - Ever Changing.

Number 1 On LTT LGA 1150 CPU Cinebench R15

80$??? And it actually works?

It had better... I really want one now. I should have gotten this for my brother instead of an i3 and a B150 motherboard... I feel so stupid...

Not that he would ever actually use that much power anyway :P

True, and were I somewhere other than jolly-old 'Murica, Land of the Free, Home of the Ironic Ripoffs of Old Hardware... say, Japan, I would totally ditch my machine and grab this setup.

I can only attest to the one i received. But there was no discoloration on the socket and they are guaranteeing them. Shipped from California.

Where's there a LGA 2011 board for 60?

I got my mobo for 100 a few months back. like new, in box, all accessories. so for me 100 for mobo, 70 for 16gb of ram from newegg and 110 for the proc. Try and build something even close to that for under $300. :)

A small BLCK OC and this will trash almost everything on the consumer market. That's awesome, and I want one naow.

 

Oh yeah, it would be a beast at rendering 

 

Faster than a 4790k

Now you are making me want to do this... hrm... my 212 evo keeps it pretty cool, I know it has some headroom.

I think I might buy one now and hold off on a motherboard and see if their price comes down any. I suspect that they have gone up because people are out looking for them so they can play with their shiny new processor.
