Compatibility for xeon es

[SirFlamenco]

I just want to know if this : https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/nW4NnQ/asus-motherboard-x99aii is compatible with this es 2630v4 xeon : http://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/Intel-Xeon-E5-2630-V4-ES-QHVK-2-1Ghz-25MB-10Core-20threads-14nm-85W-CPU-/272433868622?hash=item3f6e52ef4e:g:jfwAAOSwImRYGDnf And if it is, is it gonna work normaly or would I need to become an OBO so Intel can't catch me

Yeah, it should work

Should work fine. If you want more security, then contact the eBay seller and ask about your specific mobo brand. Update the Bios on the board for the best compatibility as well.

Yep, should work fine. Just note that you can't use high speed RAM (over 2133MHz speed with Xeons) or if you want to use ECC RAM, you need a Cxxx series motherboard.

 

It will work normally.

Ok, but I still have doubt because I will use this cpu ONLY for gaming and it might be better to go 6700k

Oh, if it's for gaming, get the 6700K.

 

The thing is with the Xeon, if you load enough cores, it will stay at 2.1 GHz. I have a Xeon E5 2695V3 in my NAS, and it's quite terrible at gaming compared to my 2500K (4.6GHz). Most games that only use a core or two only run at 2.2GHz...the CPU bottlenecks bad because it can't clock fast enough.

 

These Xeons are much better for rendering or running loads that can use all of the cores. The Xeon in total, wipes the floor with my 2500K in rendering, but in single core stuff, the 2500K wins. I plan on upgrading to a 7700K in the future because my 2500K is kind of starting to choke down as my daily driver.
