Which CPUs fit this board?

It uses Socket LGA2011 for Intel Xeon E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 series processors, two of them. Check the Supermicro CPU support list for the exact BIOS revision before buying a chip.

How much memory can it take?

16 DIMM slots hold up to 512 GB of ECC DDR3. Registered ECC modules are the usual choice for large capacities.

Is this board good for a new build?

No. It is a legacy platform with DDR3 and old PCIe, so it makes sense only for cheap rebuilds, homelabs or surplus parts you already own.

What case and power supply does it need?

It is an extended server form factor, so use a Supermicro or similar rackmount chassis that lists support for it. Expect a redundant or high-wattage server PSU.

Does it have modern ports?

It has Ethernet, VGA and USB, but no USB 3.0 or NVMe. Storage runs over SATA or add-in controller cards.

At $89 new as of November 6, 2026, it is cheap for a dual-socket board, but budget for CPUs, DDR3 ECC memory and a chassis, which often cost more than the board.

Our take on the Supermicro X9DRX+-F Server Motherboard MBD-X9DRX+-F-B

The Supermicro X9DRX+-F is a dual-socket LGA2011 server board for Intel Xeon E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 processors, built on the Intel C602 chipset. It carries 16 DDR3 DIMM slots for up to 512 GB of ECC memory and a long row of PCIe slots for add-in cards. It is a legacy platform, so it suits rebuilds and homelabs rather than new builds. Its best new price is $89 at new as of November 6, 2026, with two stores listing it new.

Pros

Two LGA2011 sockets support Xeon E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 CPUs
16 DIMM slots take up to 512 GB of ECC DDR3
Unusually many PCIe slots for add-in cards and GPUs
Supermicro server build quality and IPMI management
Very low price for a dual-socket board

Cons

DDR3 and LGA2011 are long obsolete; parts are used or surplus
No NVMe, USB 3.0 or modern PCIe generations
Large extended form factor needs a big server case
High idle power draw with two older Xeons
Limited BIOS and firmware support compared with current boards
