Motherboard for Xeons

[Matt_98]

I have bought a couple of Intel Xeon E5620's for a build I'm planning (only £14) and am trying to find a decent motherboard for them that has normal power connectors and PCI-e 16x slots (at leats 1). I looked on eBay and everything seemed very pricey any help is appreciated.

2011 motherboards are expensive.

x58 chipset boards still holding a good price ....also most server boards don't come with pci-e x16 for this chipset. I don't think your expectations can be met. sorry

fair enough Ill just have to wait till pay day to get one any suggestions though?

Since this processor uses the LGA 1366 socket, you can rule out X79 and X99. The X58 boards are LGA 1366 though and would probably be the best bet. Good luck on your search.

Plan on spending about £80 on a board, if you want standard connectors avoid hp, and dell, and get a supermicro or tyan dual socket board you also have consider they will be eatx form factor, and won't be able to overclock on a dual socket board there is the evga sr-2 but that is super expensive.
