Which CPUs fit this board?

It uses Socket LGA1151 and the Intel C246 chipset, so it takes 8th and 9th Gen Core and Xeon E processors. Older 6th and 7th Gen chips will not work.

Does it support ECC memory?

Yes. With a Xeon E CPU it runs ECC DDR4 across its four slots, up to 128 GB. Core processors run it in non-ECC mode.

Will it fit a standard micro ATX case?

The board is micro ATX, so it physically fits. The front-panel and power headers are Dell-specific, so you may need adapters or a Dell power supply.

Is it a good upgrade over a consumer board?

Only if you need ECC memory and Xeon support. Consumer boards offer newer ports, overclocking and easier standard wiring.

What comes in the box?

Typically just the board, since it is an OEM part. Expect no cooler, I/O shield or cables unless the seller states otherwise.

Our take on the Dell Precision 3630 Tower Motherboard IPCFL-TB

This is the Dell OEM motherboard pulled from the Precision 3630 Tower workstation, built on Intel's C246 chipset with an LGA1151 socket for 8th and 9th Gen Core and Xeon E processors. It is a micro ATX board with four DDR4 slots supporting up to 128 GB, plus DisplayPort, Ethernet and USB on the rear panel. It suits someone repairing or upgrading a Precision 3630, or a builder who wants a workstation-grade board with ECC memory support. Against consumer micro ATX boards it trades overclocking and modern connectivity for Xeon support, ECC memory and Dell's proprietary front-panel and power connectors, which limit use in standard cases.
