Xeon E5-2660 is not a supported processor.

Unfortunately, additional letters or numbers here and there in the name and numbers of a particular part can make the difference between buying the right or wrong part.

@NYFireGuy - Did you have any success getting your Z10PE-D16WS working? I have the same board and using dual Zeon E5 2695 v3 processors and cannot get past the B0 Qcode error. I am using the specified supported RAM (2x 32GB modules Samsung ECC M386A4G40DM0-CPB). I just get the B0 code no matter how many CPU's or RAM slots I try. Tried every possible combo available. always B0. I can tell my BIOS is the 3306 from the number next to the serial on the mobo. Any help is much appreciated on this board as it is hard to find info online about it.

@Calvin - According to the ASUS supported CPU list for this model and motherboard, NYFireGuy's processor IS supported... (Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 (2.6G,105W,L3:25M,10C,HT) Since BIOS version 0501). Here's the link- https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z10PED16_WS/HelpDesk_CPU/.

v3 is yes, but Xeon E5-2660 is an older Sandy Bridge model CPU.
