I am looking to upgrade one of my rigs. It currently has a Gigabyte Z97 Game Ready 5/ i7 4790. I would like to install a server type of motherboard as the rig does a lot of rendering and has three 1080 Ti video cards. It seems like the Xeon Silver 4208 is a good chip, and I want a dual cpu setup. It doesn't seem like there are a ton of choices out there, but I was considering either the ASUS WS C621E Sage Extreme Power or the Supermicro X11DPH-T. My case is a Coolermaster Haf X, which I'm fairly certain can accommodate either board, and it has an EVGA 1200W Platinum psu.
Any build advice would be appreciated. I've built rigs before but never with this kind of motherboard.
