[SOLVED] Any LGA2011-1 (R1) motherboards out there?

[nagakura]

Hi

can't find any MB for LGA2011-1 Xeons, besides one expensive 4 socket Supermicro one. Is there really nothing out there?
What about some Dell/HP stuff pulled out from their custom builds?

Anyone knows?

Plenty on ebay. Not sure what you are after, but quite old boards at this point.

China has been remanufacturing X79 boards for a long time. They pull working chips off of boards and put them into new ones. They are a little iffy, but less than $100.

NOPE! these are 2011-3 or 2011-0 boards, I'm specifically asking about 2011-1 (R1)

 

[nagakura]

So far what Ive found are these ones:

https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X10QBI

but it is pretty non-standard, not even EEATX, even bigger... and pretty expensive...

and from Tyan

https://www.tyan.com/doc/support_lists/CPU/LGA2011-1_BB

but can't even find any of them used.

I did check out some X79 contemporary boards and you are right they don't support certain Xeons, but you haven't mentioned which ones you have or are after.

OEM boards and things from Supermicro would seem to fit the bill. Dual sockets for high end Xeons was pretty typical.

Though even the professional workstations I had access to at the time weren't the LGA2011-1 chips as I recall, they were the more moderate 6, 8 and 12 core Xeons.

I did... the thread is about LGA2011-1 (not 2011-0 or 2011-3)

And I somehow still don't know what CPU you have. Looking up OEM hardware by CPU is a lot easier than socket, since they don't actually care about that sort of thing. When they build it, they will list options and compatible CPUs, and in all likelihood, never update that information.

Intel Xeon 15-Core E7-2890 V2

Expensive motherboards or nothing on that one I'm afraid. Basically the CPUs were only sold to OEMs for use in servers as near as I can tell. Supermicro is the only one that bothered to make a reasonably priced board at $300, Everything else is going to be proprietary.

You might be able to find something by looking for complete rack mount systems, but I'm sure that defeats the point.

 

[nagakura]

the idea is to find such OEM MB somehow. Pulled from a working server

 

[nagakura]

wondering if DELL, HP or maybe Lenovo had some systems?

 

[Eximo]

Not really finding much out there. Might be too little demand for them or they are still in use.

Of course the people that get ahold of this sort of stuff might be selling through their own websites.

 

[nagakura]

there were plenty of these 2011-1 xeons, Ive counted around 50 different models.

wondering why so little MBs.

apparently all E7 are 2011-1

ps the right board must have the C602J chipset. Some Supermicros have also C602J but only the 2011-0 socket which will not fit these E7s
