I rated it two stars rather than one because I have used Intel in my builds for years, and I trust the company, and I understand this is probably a mistake, and I also had great support from Amazon, so I was able to get a refund and re-order this chip with the hopes of getting the correct chip

I called ASUS to verify that there weren't some strange outliers in the I7 processors that were not compatible, and they confirmed that this chip should be compatible

Great chip

First modern Intel build, such a solid chip

What I didn't realize is that this still-supported Server OS doesn't support this chip fully, and you get a very annoying, large window that pops up *constantly* to remind you that they don't want you running this chip on that OS.
