Need a motherboard similar to this.

[g.georgiev91]

Hello! I have a bit of a problem here. So i damaged my motherboard's pins that are in one of the cpu sockets that i have and now i can't use that socket anymore thus i need some help in picking a new one (because i can't find mine anywhere). My workstation is a Fujitsu Celsius r570-2 wiith dual xeon x5690 processors(lga 1366), 16gb of ddr3 1333mhz (i think its RDIMM) ram( 6 slots/3 slots for each cpu that can go up to 96gb) and planning on going for 36gb of ram, Gtx 1070ti. The motherboard is a Fujitsu d2628-c1 which i cannot find anywhere. I also have 1tb of ssd and couple of hdds plugged into SATA III's and a 700w PSU that is from Fujitsu aswell.
Here is a datasheet for my PC - https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/ds-CELSIUS-R570-2.pdf

So can anyone recommend me some motherboards like this that can support everything i have. I would gladly buy the same board if i find one but as of now i can't.

Here is a list of motherboards compatible with your Dual Xeon's x5690...I do not think you will have any problems as the CPU's you have will drop straight in to these motherboards as well as the ram as they all have 6 RAM slots for your ram and speed. Look for the X58 chipset on LGA 1366. As for SATA for your SSD's and adding a GTX1070Ti, that should be no problems. I have looked on ebay and there are a fair few second hand/used for sale at very low prices...

I should have asked where you are from as then I can point you to specific motherboards in your area for sale..

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm from Bulgaria, i usually order stuff from aliexpress and some local shops from my country and thats it. I know i can order from ebay and amazon aswell but i haven't done so yet. Other thing that i found in the motherboards that i have search is that alot of these dual lga 1366 motherboards don't have sata III plugs only Sata II and maybe im wrong but some of them had max of 24gb of ram or maybe i don't understand something.

I see, especially on the SATA 3 6GB/s which are very rare on socket 1366. You can get boards that have an on board Marvel Sata 3 controller like this EVGA Classified SR2 but they are hard to find...

I will do some more searching and come back to you with what I can find in your area....

Fingers crossed some others will jump on this thread and help as there are some very knowledgeable people on the Toms Hardware Forum...

Thanks alot with the help atleast you pointed me in the right direction. Well if i can't find any boards with sata III connectors i will probably stick with II but lets hope for the best.

I have seen that you can get a PCI-e to SATA 3 add in card that can get around the problem and may be a good idea as they start from $10 upwards...

Yeah i can do that, i can buy an add in card with around 3 SATA III plugs it should be fine and i can put other HDDs on sata II no problem(i have so many hdds because im video editiing so usually i need alot of space for my raw footage but i thik there is no problem for these hdds to run on sata II for storing only the raw material). I didn't know up until now you can do that. I presume that this card gets plugged in some PCI slot?

Yes it is as simple as that...Plugs straight into a spare PCIe slot..
