Yes you can... That's quite a nice board, I have heard of bios issues but only a couple...

can you recommend a better board exclusive for Render

I do like Asus WS boards, I had my eye on one but its so elusive it may either be too new or that good everyone is buying it up before I can... I have kinda been preoccupied this week so I haven't looked.. I will get back to you in 30-40 min...

I screwed the pooch on this one lol. The CPU you chose will not work in any way with the board you picked. The board is 2011 and the CPU is 2011v3.
I was lucky because the board I was looking at is a 2011-v3 these are all worth considering.
ASUS x99WS
ASUS x99A
ASRock X99 WS
ASRock X99 WS-E/10G
The ASRock X99 WS-E/10G looks really cool, may not be a good choice but its pretty!

The board is ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS SSI EEB Server Motherboard Dual Intel Socket 2011-3.. and by the specs can run Intel Xeon e5 2660.. I'm really like a dual..

Yes my mistake that is a better choice, the dual boards have an accelerator to increase cpu performance.
