Waiting for my new CPU to arrive, will let this go once I am fully swapped over.

Item: Intel Xeon E5-2699V3 & MSI X99 Gaming Pro Carbon
Age: Unknown, both acquired on carb
Price: 4000 for bundle
Warranty: None
Packaging: Yes, near complete for motherboard
Condition: CPU great, Motherboard suspect (see notes)
Location: Randburg
Reason: AMD
Shipping: High iTrader only
Collection: Meetup
Link:

Notes on motherboard:
  • This is currently my daily driver and works great but suffers in single core performance
  • The motherboard is currently running a modded version of the latest beta BIOS (all-core unlock + slight undervolt)
  • The motherboard does not allow me to change the PL (advanced power management) so the chip will TDP-throttle at roughly 3.1GHz All-core
  • Condition:
    • There are some scratches on the I/O cover
    • I have never been able to get the RGB to work correctly (possible software clash) - most of the headers are currently unplugged
    • Saving any BIOS settings freezes the machine, even if the settings do actually persist
    • During the colder months I had some cold-start freezes just after booting into Windows. I don't know if it related to the beta / modded Bios or to something like dodgy caps (I am leaning to caps)
    • I suspect that some of the USB ports do not provide enough juice (cannot charge my mouse on them) - but I have no idea on how to test that
