mobo recommendation for dual-Xeon system

[1415]

I have a dual-Xeon system with 2 Intel Xeon E5-2686-V3 cores or 2 X 18 = 36 cores total.
I was using a Supermicro mobo MBD-X10DRI Extended ATX Server Dual LGA 2011 R3 Intel C612. But it failed after 18 months and never recognized the installed GeForce video card.
I am looking for a recommendation of another mobo (not Supermicro).
Thanks in advance to the experts.

You're going to be hard pressed to get a recommendation that isn't Supermicro. Their stuff is generally top notch and there aren't many players in that market. I'd also have to ask if it never recognized your installed video card, why didn't you RMA it?

Gigabyte MW70-3S0
I've been using one since they were released and used a GA-7PESH3 prior to that for Xeon E5V2's.
Rock solid workstation board, not a prosumer board, does not overclock, only delivers reliability.
I've been using Gigabyte dualies since they started making them.
Sold through the Business division of Gigabyte, not the consumer division.
If you have any problems, they solve them in a pro manner, completely different than dealing with "consumer" MB OEMs.
I used only SM boards years ago and for the most part they were reliable, but we always had "warranty issues" and "user issues" when there were problems, it was never a SM issue or problem.
Switched to Gigabyte and haven't had any problems with warranty or "user issues" in the few times we needed servicing in the last 9 years.
The boards can be hard to find, but if you talk politely/professionally, the business division will sell direct in single quantities to individuals.

Be sure to "unlock" those puppies. BTW, I think you meant 2696v3
