Intel XEON E5v4 Motherboard

[JSWeiss]

Are there any Motherboards that Support the INTEL XEON E5-2660V4? I do 6K video editing and looking to build a new system. If I could base it off this processor that would be fantastic. But I am having trouble finding a Motherboard for it.

well this guy says he got a 2640 v4 going after a bios update that supported them chips ?/

may hook up with him on how its going ??

well the asus deal so far has not worked out that I seen

asus also blew him off about the 128gb memory support in another thread

as he said asus don't give a crap

 

[JSWeiss]

So... Should I go V3 then, or just go with the i7 5960?

I was looking at doing this:
CPU: i7 5960
Mobo: ASUS x99 Deluxe
RAM: Corsair LPX 8x 8Gb 2133mhz
GPU: PNY Quadro m4000 (possibly 2 in the future)
SSD: Samsung Evo 850 500gb
PSU: EVGA 1000w Gold

cant say your call I do see asrocks board with a v4 chips working if that guy is true on that and I see asrock has 128gb speced on there board where asus don't but gave a bios up date to support it then tell the guy it don't ??

heck heres the thread on that as well

I guess with asus if it works its fine if not then too bad so sad ??

 

[JSWeiss]

So with that ASRock Board I could run V4?

 

[junkeymonkey]

well he said it did after the new bios was updated to his board now I'm not there to see it maybe private message him and ask how's it going ?

these v4 chips are new and nothing yet proven more like in gunniey pig mode them supporting bios for the v4's had just been released so there pretty much untried

for the hassle and money does the v4 offer more over the v3 that's should work out of the box ???

like I say this is new fresh just released over the past few weeks kinda stuff

So maybe something like what this guy was suggested. Is there an ASRock Mobo alternative?

not trying to say asus board wount work they released a new bios for your delux , but it don't say xeon just newer i7

X99-DELUXE BIOS 3004
Support the latest Intel® Core™ i7 X-Series processors.

8.06 MBytesupdate 2016/04/13


now asrock board bios states '' Support 2016 Q2 coming new CPU. '' ???


to me I would wait and see if the update the supported CPU list and add the new V4 chips in it cause as of now there not listed as supported chips ..

[no V4 chips listed ]

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99DELUXE/HelpDesk_CPU/

same here

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20WS/?cat=CPU


so for me its hard to use a chip that's not officially listed and for there cost not worth the risk until they do so

of course that's just my opinion

 

[JSWeiss]

So what if I did dual v3's instead?

 

[junkeymonkey]

cant say. never did a dual cpu set up I think you need matched chips

http://pclinks.xtreemhost.com/mixed.htm?ckattempt=1

then like I said I never done that??


I don't think Linux cares but seen it with windows

look this over though your using newer stuff but maybe of some interest ??
