Motherboard: MSI B150M Mortar or any motherboard support Xeon E3?

[NonTechSavvySheep]

is there any motherboard that support Xeon E3 processors. specificaly this

Intel Xeon E3-1230V5, 3.3Ghz, Cache 8MB, LGA1151

what about MSI H110M Grenade , B150M Grenade?

When I mention motherboard, I don't mean server motherboard. but regular motherboard. I play one or two games, but I don't build this just for gaming.

I am thinking Xeon as i7 alternative with lower Clockspeed.

Unfortunately it's not possible. Intel killed the Xeons on mainstream mobo with skylake. If you want a xeon as a cheaper alternative to an i7 you will have to go back to hasweel (lga1150), meaning h97/h85/etc.

Can you recommend me which motherboard and which xeon e3 that fits my requirement? I know there is one xeon that has clockspees 3,2 GHz. Similar to i5 4460. And thats supposed to be enough for everyday task and gta v and mafia 2

Look to motherboard with the C232 or C236 chipset that would support Xeon E3 v5. Ex: ASROCK E3V5 Performane/OC, Gigabyte X150-PLUS WS, etc...

If going with Xeon E3 v3, most standard consumer line MB would support such CPU, but a good B85 (ex. MSI B85-G41 PC Mate) or higher is recommended for stable operation.

thats what confuse me, how do I know if the motherboard has c232 or c236. where can I get a full list. is it the code as Z170 etc?

so Im going back with haswell, which mobo would you recommend from ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI? which specific motherboard.

anyway, if I choose that MSI you recommend, can you recommend me ATX case? what about cooler master N400?

C232/236 for Xeon E3 v5. Of special note is the ASRock E3V5 Performance Gaming/OC which can overclock said Xeon (for a quarterly build here, a toms editor pushed his Xeon to 4.5Ghz with the CPU cooler Deepcool Gammax 400 [$25 cooler, although Newegg it's very often available with a $10 rebate]).

If going with Haswell Xeon, the ASROCK H97M Pro4 is currently on sale at a very good price ($49.99 @ Newegg after $15 rebate). Do note that it does not have any PCIe x1 slot so effectively any expansion card will have to go in to the second PCIe x16 (x4 lanes).

Sorry, I am bit noob here, I don't understand the PCIe x1 slot mean here. so what do you mean expansion card? I thought the card would use 1x16. so I don't understand the second lane here. will I receive a huge performance drop?
I plan to use Sapphire Nitro RX 480 4 GB or Zotac GTX 1050 Ti. so you think DeepCool Gammax 400 si enough? I don't need to go to cryorig H7? I thought H7 cooler is better. but if it is enough with Deepcool Gammaxx 400, I will stick with it.

if I choose mATX, I can stick with Cooler master n200. but if I stick with ATX, I might choose Cooler master n400

what about this motherboard
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B85M-P33-V3.html#hero-specification

is this good enough for me? or should I just stick with the MSI B 84 G41? my local store doesn't sell the one you recommend

The graphic card would use the first PCIe x16 slot which all of the new motherboard out there will wire that slot to the 16 PCIe3.0 lanes from the CPU.

Every other slots on the MB is up to each board manufacturer to configure and in the case of the H97M Pro4 it has two PCI slots which is ancient and does not provide enough bandwidth to most newer add-in card (extra Gigabit LAN card/RAID cards/etc...) or the newer sound card which would have utilize the PCIe x1 (still compatible with the longer x16 slot; and in case of the Pro4, the second PCIe x16 slot has 4x PCIe 3.0 lanes provide to it from the H97 chipset).

The design of the power delivery system of the B85M-P33 looks to be too basic to properly support the Xeon E3.

so you have no other suggestion apart from those 2 motherboards? Maybe I should drop down to i5 4460. so the second pcie lanes does not affect much performance on graphic cards right? do you think 500 PSU is enough for Xeon and RX 480?

Assuming the "those 2 motherboards" refer to the MSI B85-G41 PC MATE and the ASRock E3V5 Performance Gaming/OC, then the ASROCK is the best investment for Xeon E3 v5, while the MSI B85-G41 PC MATE is about the cheapest board from that list of yours that I can still trust that would properly support the Xeon.

the second pcie lanes does not affect much performance on graphic cards right?

Yes. If you put the graphic card where it should be, in to the first PCIe x16 slot, the one closest to the CPU.

do you think 500 PSU is enough for Xeon and RX 480?

A good 500W will support such build just fine.

It seems that I should choose Mobo with MSI B85 G41 and I can't decide the case then
