Just had something I've never experienced happen. Putting a system together, I spec'd out a particular mobo and cpu, correct socket and compatible chipset. Couldn't get the machine to POST so I called the mobo company (Supermicro) and after conferring with their engineering dept, they told me the board and CPU weren't compatible.
So, is there something ELSE that one needs to consider? I've been doing home-builds for 15 years about, and I've never encountered this. Did I miss something? Here are the two components ftr:
X11DDW-NT with a Xeon W-3175x
But both 3647 socket and work with a C620 series/Lewisberg chipset.
