SuperMicro X8DTI-F motherboard

[93boba]

Hey guys,

Can this motherboard be used for a normal desktop PC usage? (heavy tasks, gaming, net surfing)
I'm planing to buy this motherboard and pair it with 2 Xeon x5670 cpus.
I'm just worried if the full capacity of CPUs will be presented on it. (like on a workstation)

thanks

regards

I do not see how that would not work.
If the price is cheap enough, go ahead and try it.

For heavily multithreaded apps, it should do very well.
But, for gaming, not so much.
The problem is the weak single threaded core speeds.
That is what most games depend on.
Passmark rating is 1347.
Modern kaby lake processors will be in the >2000 range.
