- Which CPUs does this board support?
- It uses the LGA 4677 socket and Intel W790 chipset, so it takes Intel Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 series processors. Consumer Core chips will not fit.
- Does it need registered memory?
- It is built for DDR5 R-DIMMs, the registered ECC memory Xeon W workstations use. Standard unbuffered desktop DDR5 is not the intended fit.
- How many graphics cards can it hold?
- There are seven PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, so multi-GPU rendering or accelerator builds are the point. Check your case and power supply for the card count and spacing you plan.
- What is the BMC LAN for?
- The dedicated management port runs server-grade IPMI, so you can monitor and control the machine remotely, including out of band. That separates it from consumer workstation boards.
- Is it good for gaming?
- It works, but the slot count, R-DIMM support and remote management are wasted on a gaming PC. A mainstream desktop board is a better fit for that use.
- What form factor is it?
- It is a CEB workstation board, larger than standard ATX. Confirm your chassis lists CEB or E-ATX support before buying.
