Posted August 30, 2016 Hello everybody So i was planning to get the msi x99a Mpower board and wanted to pair it with a xeon. Why do i get an oc mobo for a xeon , just a price(cheaper than most in my counter) and future upgrade ability.So i was looking around and found the xeon e5-4660 v3 and wanted to know if it fits. I checked the msi compatibility and it is not there. Moreover i found that asus x99 fatility boards actually supports it and they have the same socket and everything so shall i take that as a go ? also feel free to suggest other motherboards , cpus i want them for gaming and video editing/rendering one more question do u think it is smart to invest in a lga2011-3 build while the lga3647 is almost here ? thank u .

Posted August 30, 2016 don't use a xeon in a gameing MB, it not worth it, unless some else has got that CPU to work with that MB then.... ask youself.do i need this? ****SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE***** Been married to my wife for 3 years now!

Posted August 30, 2016 1st thing, don't buy a 4xxx cpu. Its built for quad socket systems and will cost much more for that feature you won't use. Id probably buy a 6900k much cheaper and just as fast in most uses(faster in most editing programs due to the high clock speed) You can also oc it. LGA3647 won't replace lga 2011 and will be slower in most uses. Its only for compute and shouldn't be used as a desktop chip and will probaly perform worse than a i3 in most desktop tasks. For 3d rendering, more and more programs take advantage of the gpu, so id suggest getting a 1070 or 2 rather than a ultra highend cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id personally stay away from dual socket. What programs are you using? Whats your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 31, 2016 Author why would u stay from dual socket ? is it a software compatibility issue? i use Matlab , 3ds max / adobe premier ,after effects,photoshop and little bit of visual studio as well as some light gaming some more than others . (engineering student with cinematography hobby :D) My budget is kind of flexible but the lower the better ofc as long as it does the job fast and smooth i think i will go with the msi x99a mpower and i7 6800k or some xeon 6/8 cores or do u think there is a better alternative ?

Posted August 31, 2016 Author keep it cool guys pls also @samiscool51 i wanted a xeon because i need some cores for rendering/video editing as it is my priority over gaming. beside my motherboard (Mpower) supports 3 sli so that should take care of the gaming aspect although i dont intend to use all three ofc . atleast at the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 1, 2016 try not to get old server xeons, the reason they are sold is because they get slow after a while, most workplaces just get a new server and transfer the data thats why you can buy old servers cheaply also i don't think the MB supports that many cores so maybe stick with the i7..... ****SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE***** Been married to my wife for 3 years now!
