BEST SELLERS

In Server CPU Processor

- Based on many negative forum post with most having no experience with the processor I was apprehensive. However, based on the Intel ark information and my server requirements it fit my needs so I purchased discounting the naysayers. - I'm glad I did as this CPU has been rock solid under an initial test setup and now a full production state VMware ESXi setup. - I paired this with an X11SPM-TPF and they have been a happy marriage - With CPU, MB, x8 WD Red Pro drives, x1 WD Purple, Samsung Pro M.2, x2 SATADom's, x7 fans (Noctua 3,000rpm units). With all of this at very low use it is pulling about 100 watts, in medium about 150 watts. - The CPU stays very cool even under a full load stress test. Note: I'm using a Node 804 case not a server rack so temps will naturally be lower in a larger case. - New socket & heat-sink compo is very sturdy and secure once installed; there's no question if it is seated & secured once installed.

We have two of these on a X10-DAX motherboard. Each of eight cores with hyper threading, makes this 32 core machine powerful for an ADOBE CC workstation. Intel quality gives me piece of mind that our company has an additional stable workstation. This processor ( times 2) give us enough heavy lifting for the tasks that will be demanded of it. I think that it is rightsized for it's workflow over the next three to five years. This is a big step up for us from a Quad Core Machine.

Great processor, very fast and has 6 cores. Is capable of running 2 in parallel, which means a total of 12 cores. Supports a very large amount of memory, as well, which is probably important if you are going with something this powerful. Does a great job, though 2 are probably overkill for most setups.
