So, I stuffed up. I am in the process of building a machine for someone and neglected to check if the CPU I ordered was fully compatible, it's not.

So I have an Intel Xeon E5-1620V4 which I can't use or return to the supplier. The machine POSTs but freezes during one of the self-tests. After discussions with Supermicro, it looks like the CPU is not compatible with the Baseboard Management Controller.

Would anyone be willing to do a trade or part with any spare CPU's they have? The board is a Supermicro X10DRH-C. The specs state that an Intel Xeon X5-2600 series CPU is supported (socket LGA 2011).

Located in Sydney, AU.

Ouch. I wish I could help out, but I have nothing to suit that is not in use at the moment.

Thanks mate.

I *think* I have found a solution.

I do want to talk to you about web hosting though ;-)
