Question Motherboard

[ahmedfadl.david]

Hello
I had workstations lenovo s30
And the motherboard burnt out
So i was asking what are the motherboards that are compatible with xeon e5 1650

Old school LGA2011, so X79.

Board looks fairly standard, so anything should work as long as it isn't physically too large. A few non-ATX boards out there.

I'm afraid it is going to be rather difficult to track down an X79 board at a reasonable price. There are some Chinese companies harvesting old boards for parts and soldering them onto new PCBs, they are targeting budget gamers who want to use old Xeons though. Not really fully featured motherboards most of the time.

A few used and refurbished boards here and there. But they are several hundred dollars.

Probably easiest to track down another S30 and grab the board from that.

Or, just start over, 6 cores 12 threads is pretty easy to come by from Intel or AMD at this point. AMD gets high marks for supporting ECC memory too, with Intel you would be looking at another X99 or X299 build at great expense.
