Very interesting. Can you tell us the ES Stepping working on each board ?

Added for the 1356 board.
For the moment, I only have LGA1356 & G34 boards.
But I'm planning to get the LGA1366 board as well soon.

During my testing I noticed that similar processors will sometimes misreport their core count in Windows. A way to resolve this is to go into device manager and "uninstall" the processor. This will restart the machine and the CPU will have the correct core count and part number.

Better bargain is a 1356 or 2011 plateform. Here is the bench with the X79 Chinese motherboard + a E5-1428 v2 bought to John for $8

That gives me an idea for not expensive upgreade for my father PC.

Is it 1155/1156/1151/1150 heatsink's wholes standard ?

It is same holes between 1356 & 1366 but not exacly like 115x.
Usually heatsinks are compatible with 775, 115x & 1356/1366 (holes are quite close between each sockets).
This is the case for all Noctuas (I have a Noctua NH-D14 heatsink which is more expensive than the LGA-1356 motherboard...)

I have ordered a X99 LGA 2011-3 & -4 DDR4 from your link :
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000383007258.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1d3d4c4doc3OJP
+ CPU from eBay Xeon E5 2660 V3 ES QGG7 for 35 USD include shipping (10 core 2,4GHz 20 threads 25MB cache). Good start kit to check performance on Windows 10 in compare to my i3-8100.

No, the idea is to use them for building cheap gaming configs, so nothing below Nehalem...

This G34 board have only two memory channels and afaik it can be configured two ways: one channel per die or both channels for one die.
In latter case second die can access memory only through NUMA and it is much slower, it can cripple memory intensitive tests.
Obviously even the first configuration is slower than normal four channel system.


It's even worse than that. I have one of those G34 boards, and both memory slots are on the same memory channel. I guess this mad the PCB cheaper. Also, the blue USB 3 ports are just connected to the regular USB 2 controller.
