I bought online a xeon e5-2699 v4 chip, but got in the mail a xeon e5-2696 v4.
Before going to the trouble of returning it, I was trying to compare the specs on Intel's website and I simply can't find them.

Should I return it?

In regard to your inquiry, I will do further research in order to try to find out why the specifications of that processor are not showing in our web site, and also to check if they will be available soon. As soon as I get additional details, I will post all the information on this thread.

Hey Alberto,
Thanks for responding so promptly. Looking forward to know more about the website mystery!
Mean while, I contact the seller and he told me that the chips are the same, 2696 is supposed to be in Asia market and 2699 America/Europe. Also. seller is providing me with 4 years warrant. So I will give it a try this weekend to test it out.

Hi delciogomes: Thank you very much for letting us know that information.
I just received some updates from the research we were doing on this processor, and the thing is that this is a custom processor with certain terms and conditions (TRAY), that is why the specifications are not available in our web site. Please see our products on roadmap offerings for generally available parts:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/public-roadmap-article.html Intel® Roadmap for Public Products
If the seller is giving you 4 years of warranty that is great, and yes, the Intel® E5-2699 v4 has basically the same specifications.
Any questions, please let me know.
Regards,
Alberto R

Hi Jerry's: You are very welcome. In regard to your inquiry, I looked in our web site for drivers for this processor and nothing is showing up:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
But just to let you know, the drivers will also depend of the motherboard being used, most of the drivers are provided by the manufacturer of it.
Any questions, please let me know.

Jerry's: You are welcome. In regard to your question, there should not be any error messages showing on device manager.
We always recommend to follow an specific order at the moment to install the drivers: chipset, management engine, graphics, USB, LAN, audio.
What is the model of the motherboard?
Any questions, please let me know.

Dear Alberto R
Actually i just found the Asus tech-support
But they just said they can't support this CPU which named 2696v4 , Actually i can use this cpu, but the bios just found the 18 Core ,should be 22 Core
So i just wondering is it possiable to install the Microcode in X99 or someother way can let the x99 support the Xeon 2696 v4 fully
And is there any driver or some information can download to let this cpu work well?

Hi Jerry's: Thank you very much for letting us know those updates. In regard to your question about the BIOS microcode, since the BIOS is directly related to the board that is an option you will need to check with ASUS directly or with the manufacturer of the BIOS to confirm if it is possible to install a new microcode.
About your second question, all the drivers for this platform are provided by the manufacturer of the board, the drivers given by ASUS incorporate all the features needed for this combination of processor and board to work properly. We are sorry to hear they told you the board does not fully support the processor.
Any questions, please let me know.

Alberto R

hi Jerry,
Do you also have the E5-2696v4? Is it working on your MB (according to the spec it supports E5-2695, E5-2697, E5-2699 but not E5-2696)?
I have the CPU but I can't find a MB for it and I read that some MBs did some damage to the CPU so I don't know what to buy..
Can you also mansion which memory you have to that setup?
thanks!

Dear Alberto R
Thanks for your clearly explain for my question
And for :In regard to your question about the BIOS microcode, since the BIOS is directly related to the board that is an option you will need to check with ASUS directly or with the manufacturer of the BIOS to confirm if it is possible to install a new microcode.
If the asus just request the microcode to your side
Is it possiable your side will provide the 2696v4 microcode to Asus?
I just want them to work with this case
Thanks for your kind help!!!
Have a nice day!

I rather doubt that Asus is not receiving the microcode; it is more a matter of them not updating the BIOS for this board to have the update (since it is not on the list of "officially-supported" processors for this board). All is not lost; I found a post that presents information about how you can have the microcode loaded as part of Windows initialization: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/how-to-update-microcode-from-windows.787152/ [How to] Update microcode from Windows. | NotebookReview.
Hope this help,

Hi Jerry's: You are very welcome. The information posted previously explains correctly how the BIOS update works in terms of the microcode of it. Hopefully ASUS will release a BIOS version that will make the processor fully compatible with your board.
Thank you very much to N.Scott.Pearson for the details provided above.
Any questions, please let me know.
