CPU upgrade question

[andrewlapham2017]

Intel Xeon E5-4640 vs E5-2660

If i have a board that supports the E5-2660v1, will the E5-4640v1 be compatible?

Why don't you share the make and model of your motherboard and a host of supported processor will come up...? I'm assuming that this is a prebuilt server, which is why it'd be a good idea if you could post an SKU for the unit or the full system's specs.

Sorry for being vague, i guess this in turn is part of my question. based off the datasheet, both chips are Sandy Bridge lga2011 CPU's would i be correct to assume that compatibility wouldn't be an issue?
the board i'm looking at buying is this

Technically it should but it all depends on the Bios software revision which no one outside of China seems to have access to. If you're in the US I would avoid buying something that has next to no technical support in any form.
