Hi guys!
I recently was given an Intel Xeon e5-2697 from a friend who runs a bunch of servers and was just getting rid of some. I plan to build a new workstation around the processor. However, I am pretty new to the PC building world as I just built my first PC last year. I was looking at LGA 2011 boards and most all of them were advertised to support LGA 2011 based i7's. Right now I'm looking to get an ASUS Sabertooth x79 board, but I dont wanna drop $250 if the board and CPU are not compatible with the Xeon. Any help would be extremely appreciated!
