Posted March 20, 2017 What do you guys think of pairing this motherboard and these processors? Will it work? Does the board have the connectors to make a decent gaming pc?

Posted March 21, 2017 Author 2 minutes ago, CUDA_Cores said: I actually got a supermicro X7DCA-L server board for my server last year that has a PCIe x16 slot that I would be willing to sell to you since I am not using it. Other than that that is the boartd I would buy. Unfortunately, it looks like I bought one of the last few because the boards left on ebay now are going for $100+ Could I decent gaming pc for a reasonable price with it? is it compatible with the above processor? Are the above processors worth it? Sorry for all the questions i'm a Newb... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for all the questions i'm a Newb... Thanks! you would probably be better off trying to find a board that supports a single xeon and buy a single xeon rather than trying to use a multi socket motherboard as a multiprocessor build isn't ideal for a gaming rig.

Posted March 21, 2017 also try to get a board that is either atx, micr atx, or itx as it will be hard to fit it into a computer case if it doesn't fit one of these standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
