Building workstation xeon 2690v3

yanchula81

Currently we have a dell workstation with a Xeon E5-2690 v3. The processor does a good job, but I'd like to ditch the Dell motherboard.

Can anyone suggest a good motherboard for this?

 

Running windows 7

It has 64GB of ECC memory that i'd like to use in the rebuild. (https://www.serversupply.com/MEMORY/PC4-17000/8GB/HYNIX/HMA41GR7MFR8N-TF.htm)

It only needs to support 4 HDD and 1 GPU

 

It is mostly used with software used to render point clouds (Pix4d and Faro Scene)

 

Thanks

You can look at boards from Supermicro. Are you looking for something ATX? Also you should make sure the chassis will even hold standard boards as Dell has an extreme tendency to make everything proprietary. If it is you'll have to replace the chassis too.

The Dell power supply will not support a 1080ti we have for it. 

We are buying an full atx case for it.

 

Frankly I don't really like Dell and I can replace it.

Just mod the PSU to have PCI-e power connectors. Most of them are overspecd anyway.

Which Dell? I'm running a Precision and have 800watts of power...

I’m not worried about keeping this system going. Price is not an issue. 

 

I’m looking for advice on motherboards people have used or have researched that will work with the requirements I’ve listed so far. 

 

Thanks
