can you run 2011-v3 Xeons in a desktop motherboard which is also 2011-v3?

[BirdDad]

I'm thinking no but can you? Wouldn't the memory controllers be incompatible?

Yes, if the Board's BIOS supports it.

Example of X99 board that supports E5 Xeons:

Would a regular liquid cooler for 2011 work on a Xeon?
And would these 14 core Xeons I've been seeing work on an ASRock Fatal1ty X99X Killer?

Yes.

And would these 14 core Xeons I've been seeing work on an ASRock Fatal1ty X99X Killer?

Check their CPU support list.

Thanks guys.

Does Windows 8.1 pro support an eighteen core Xeon?

Sure, but what are you doing that makes you feel that you need it?

 

[BirdDad]

I could use some extra muscle in vidcoder, I bet that 18 cores would encode faster than real time. h.264+265

 

[EnzoLT]

I have a E5-2680-v3 ES on an Asrock X99M-Killer. Works fine. I am going to bet the retail will run as well with no problem.

 

[BirdDad]

could you tell me how well the performance is in either vidcoder or handbrake both h.264 and h.265?
Thank you

That looks a bit Smexy.

Shwing....

Not happening though, always nice to look.

 

[BirdDad]

yes that is shwing, party on.
Would I have to have ECC memory to use the Xeons on my ASrock or did I not read carefully enough?

I believe ECC is supported with a xenon but not required

You're going to pay at least $1500 even for early engineering samples. The 14 cores are a better deal and 2 will still give you 56 threads. Those are mostly in the 500-600 range. The motherboards are expensive if you buy new. I think I paid around $400 for my X10DAL

Unless things have changed, no it's not required.

I doubt it has.

Some boards even support a specific ECC I belive, when you get into parity.
