Finding a Motherboard

[RB_Pro]

Hey, I am trying to build my first video editing workstation and I could use some help finding a motherboard for this CPU - Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-4655 v3 
(30M Cache, 2.90 GHz) - Anything helps. Thanks.

I think any compatible motherboard will do. You might want more than 2 DIMM slots though since video editing likes lots of RAM.

Honestly I can't seem to find one. Best bet IMO would to be to call a company like SuperMicro, who makes server motherboards and ask them. I believe is a difference between the FCLGA2011 and LGA2011 and that CPU is FCLGA2011. Don't quote me on that.

Thanks, but what socket type do I want to look for? I am new to the whole custom build thing. 

 

Ill call SuperMicro, thanks for the advice.

Actually just did a bit of research and it seems like the only difference between LGA and FCLGA is the manufacturing process, and has nothing to do with the actual socket/connection between the chip and the mobo. Here is a link to SuperMicro's page showing off their Intel e5-46xx v3 compatible motherboards.

EDIT:

The one compatible motherboard there is a quad socket motherboard.

Even better, thanks a bunch, I'll continue to look into it.

I'd get a E5-2670-v3 instead. Much less expensive, 12 cores, threads AND you can actually get a single socket motherboard for it (Here is a list of a SHIT load http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/#2011)

Thanks, I have a lot to learn.

While I am looking at processors, do you have any recommendations for where to buy them?

Depends on your location, but Newegg is generally the place to go.
