CPU compatible?

[Weng_DK]

Hi all

 

I'm planning a workstation build for video editing.

It seems I can get the outragely expensive E5-2690v2 at a huge discount if I buy the Lenovo version:

http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/0C19548/460/BEF3B04373D64DD2886183979E39F5E3#0C19548

 

Would (2x) this CPU be compatible with the ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS motherboard, or is there something with the Lenovo version that differs from the "normal" Intel Xeon E5-2690v2?

That's not cheaper than this:

The link was just for reference, I'm buying at another site (if I can confirm it's compatibility).

Thanks, but that site doesn't differentiate between Lenovo branded CPU's and Intel branded ones.

I'm specifically trying to figure out the difference between a "Lenovo Xeon E5-2690v2" (hence the link) and a "Intel Xeon E5-2690v2".

Obviously Lenovo doesn't make their own CPU's, but maybe they have different IHS or other modifications that would make them compatible only with Lenovo servers / WS.

That's what I'm hoping to clarify.

But why buy the lenovo ones, as they are more expensive than Intel's on Newegg, SuperBiiz, etc?

Because they're cheaper from my local dealer for some reason.

Lenovo doesn't make CPUs Lenovo only makes computers Intel is the one who makes the CPUs for Lenovo so when you buy a Lenovo computer your getting a Intel CPU

ps there is no such thing as a Lenovo branded CPU the only companys that make CPUs for desktops and laptops are AMD and Intel

Ok. So if Lenovo part # 0C19548 where 300$ cheaper than Intel product code CM8063501374802 you'd definately buy it from Lenovo and have no worries it would be compatible with a board such as ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS, even though Lenovo lists the product as an "Option for ThinkServer RD540/RD640"?
