Ive tried to find some information about the ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS board. Its surpose to be socket 2011/C602 board so my thinking was you could fit 2 4820k on it or something other than Xeon but I havent been able to find anything that will confirm it. Anyone who knows if it is possible or is the board stictly locked for Xeons spite being a socket 2011 board.
ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS running other than just Xeons?

I know it's to do with the cpu's needing to support QPI

Umm.. its been like that since x58 and the introduction of intel I7 920. so im not sure why you bring that up?
EDIT: I looking alittle deeper and i understand now. While your comment wasnt very specific you were right it has something to do with QPI. Normal socket 2011 processors(non xeons) only have 1 QPI where Xeons 2600 familie have 2 and 2 is needed if you want to run 2 CPUs on 1 board.. So thank you Breadturbo
