You sure this chip isn't ES? ~$500 seems to be the eBay price for the E5-2670 extra spicy.
I didnt think the 4930K was out yet?? and the deal for the E5-2670 is through a local computer shop which i am friends with the owners son of who got back a faulty server... but the cpu checked out ok to be working and was offered to me for a discounted price of around $500.
But I get no heatsink and no warranty on said item.
but like I said $500 for a $1400 cpu isnt so bad but if every ones telling me not to then im am listening.
I am very interested in the 4930k as well but the way I see it with the E5-2670 I will be a full generation ahead of everyone since I will be running a 8 core 16 thread cpu while everyone else is still stuck on 6 core 12 threads..
I have till tomorrow to make up my mind before it goes to the person so what should I do?? I dont wanna jump te gun but I dont want to miss out on a hell of a deal..
I dont think its an es then but how can i tell the difference??What happenes if I buy it and it turns out to be a es??Also if its against the law how do they sell these on ebay since some one mentioned it..??
You can get retail 3930k's in the FS/FT section for much less than $500 let alone $570. i just got rid of mine with a motherboard for less than $500.......Intel i7 8320 for $270
Intel i7 3930K for $570
Xeon E5-2670 for $500.00

That is my thought as well, and i'd avoid the ES versions of those chips. VERY buggy and not worth the headaches they create. Google will yield loads of info especially on the "cheap" 8 core chips like the Q19D.Also look for a code on the chip, four digits starting with a Q. Something like Q19D.
I think it's pretty funny that if that E5 happened to be the real deal, you likely missed out on making many hundreds of dollars.
But the 4930K will definitely rock, so all's well that ends well.
Thank you sir!! I cant wait to see how it holds up against my l5639
The L5639 is an Awesome option for the 1366 platform! I've only had mine in my Asrock board for maybe 2 weeks. I'm only running it at stock but I love it!
How do you have your L5639 set up?

With 3x2GB of 1600Mhz G.skill memory
And only running it currently at 2.6Ghz cause I dont wanna push the heat issue.
It pretty much destroys anything I throw at it even at those lower clock speeds pretty cool stuff if you ask me..!!
Any way to chance this with out reinstalling windows
Greed is what gets most people in trouble.
I think he made the right call.
Greed has no objective definition, as it is defined solely by other subjective terms, like excessive and rapacious. I buy things at lower prices than I sell them for every day, am I by extension, automatically greedy as well?
