Question Motherboard for Xeon E-2224

[kirkdickinson]

I have a Xeon E-2224 just sitting here that I got stuck with, and 6 10-TB WD Reds that I had originally planned to use to replace drives in a another system. I am thinking about using this stuff for a New FreeNAS build.

I can't seem to find what motherboards are compatible with this Xeon E-2224. I know it wouldn't even post in the SUPERMICRO MBD-X11SSH-LN4F-O that I used for my last build.

What makes the E CPU's different and what weird requirements do they need? I need a mobo that has ECC RAM capability.

Thanks,

I see that the E-2224 is 8th gen and my other Supermicro only listed support up to 7th gen. I assume that is why it didn't work.

This is the only board at NewEgg right now that supports ECC and 8th gen that seems to fit my requirements. I have always used Supermicro boards for FreeNAS builds. I wonder how the Asus boards would work?
