High Performance XEON Question

[Isaac0718]

I need help. I found a cheap 15-core E7-4880v2 15 core for $15 on ebay, and i want to build a server-esqe PC for very heavy use applications my gaming pc can't deal with. I found a dual-slot C602j, which i've seen is the only support chipset for the cpu,  but i've seen that E7's only support quad-socket boards, and those cost thousands. Would it support this Supermicro board support it? Thanks

CPU: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-E7-4880-v2-15-Core-2-50GHz-SR1GM-LGA2011-37-5MB-Cache-Processor-CPU/184256055229

Board: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPERMICRO-X9DRL-7F-Dual-socket-LGA-2011-C602J-chipset-Motherboard/264717677143?hash=item3da2673257:g:4R4AAOSwHkherEan

Xeon ?-4??? CPUs support quad-socket configurations, but do they require it? I'm pretty sure the dual-socket lineup (Xeon ?-2???) can run on their own.

What does the motherboard manual say in terms of CPU support? That's what you need anyway.

On the website it mentions E5 2600 series v1 and v2, but no E7. i'll read the manual online.

 

EDIT:

This is what I found: No mention of anything but E7. I would really like this board, especially because its ATX

The e7 can work just fine on it's own BUT will NOT work with that motherboard as it does not support e7 xeons.

Yeah, i'm not going to pay an absurd amount of money for a Motherboard, and all the compatible CPU's are expensive for low performance, so I think I won't be able to do this reasonably. Thanks
