Yes another ES Xeon plex server lol. They are a steal
That's crazy that you can get those CPUs for under $200, ES or not.
You could always virtualize the setup and run a FreeNAS setup virtualized and still have Windows workstations virtualized too if you'd want to go that route. But for the cost you paid you couldn't ask for much more even if 90% of the cores will never be utilized.
How much did you pay for your 2650 if you don't mind me asking? I think the ES was the best way to get some decent cpu power for cheap. I've been extremely happy with it, transcoding 4k movies to my cell phone from hundreds of miles away is awesome.
I got this one months ago and paid $270 or so they are down in the 190-200 range now
I was tempted to get the 2650 but I just couldn't pass up this QS 2630. Either way it's probably overkill for my usage...
Same as mine is major overkill, but in other news I bid on a 2699V4 for no reason other than why not.
Doesn't everyone need 22 cores
I can't force my 2683V4 to run at 3ghz thanks to the C612 board I am using having a lack of options.
I think that was around 2-2.4ghz or something like that.
funny how a bug gives improved performance.
If you had a V3 you could force it, just would have to remove the microcode from the bios... Wish it worked on V4s though...
If you wanted some "light" reading on the whole microcode bug check this thread out:

Yep, I can't complain getting an extra 600mhz from each of the 14 cores due to it...
Honestly everything I have it doing I rarely see it even kick up to the 1600mhz base clockspeed.
Yeah makes sense to me. I was stoked to do the V3 in combination with the 1060, I think it'll be a decent steam stream machine...
