Too, and I don't quite fully understand just how, this E5-2676 v3 is said not to suffer the AVX slowdown.
Yea. I got bit by this years ago. Custom CPU's that aren't fully supported unless you can get someone to roll a BIOS to support it. Fully support that is.
Now, triple channel might be a stretch considering AWS also obviously had a custom MB to match it. I don't think, now knowing triple channel, that they way the mem to cpu traces on a consumer MB are, will work with JUST a bios. I might be wrong there ........... I don't think I am sadly.
