Xeon E5-2686-V4 Motherboard options

[Nikumba]

Hi All,

Trying to find a motherboard for the above CPU, either ATX or mATX but my google-fu is failing

Any suggestions on which can be used?

Thanks

Assuming we are talking non ES/QS, then it’s going to work on any X99 or C610 board from memory, ATX is easy, MATX is is a little harder and ITX is literally 2 boards from the same OEM (ASROCK). Either way check BIOS support as being a V4, you will usually need a more recent BIOS than shipped originally.

Thanks Avalon, its not a ES one

Will need to look to see if any can update bios blind

If you get stuck then entry level e3 16xx and earlier v3’s are stupidly cheap, X99 boards seem to have been going up in price the last 6 months and dual stuff is pot luck.

your cpu isnt on the support list, but one B grade x99 mobo left

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte X99-Gaming 5P Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 EATX Motherboard= £130.00

Total: £140.50 (includes shipping: £10.50)​
