I recently decided that I'd put together a dual Xeon E5-2670v1 build for workstation use, along with a little gaming on the side.

Anyways, after looking at the prices of known compatible mobos (Asrock Rack is expensive af...) I was wondering if this Dell T7610 server motherboard, which is about $100 cheaper, would work.

If it doesn't, mobo suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

(Also, I will be installing a 980ti. I already have an i5 gaming rig, so this will mostly be for editing/music production)
 
Yes the motherboard sould work with the CPUs as they both have the same sockit size being 2011. Although I would be cearful about how ambishisly you want to game on a 2 CPU rig. Xeons have not really been optimised for gaming and the motherboard has farly old pcie slots. If you where looking to install an invidia quadro then there would not be to mutch of a restriction but then you can't really game but if you where looking to install a more contemporary GPU then there might be optermisaton difficulties with 2cpus and 1 GPU as usually boards like that have 2 graphics cards. If you where looking to go editing and gaming looks at a single cpu board witch might be better. I am not an expert tho so don't take my word
