LGA 2011-3 Server Board for Xeon and Core i7

This server motherboard fits the LGA 2011-3 socket and supports Intel 5th/6th generation Core i7 and Xeon E5 V3/V4 processors. It is built for workstations or servers that need multi-core performance and quad-channel memory bandwidth. The ATX form factor suits standard server chassis and high-end desktop cases.

Suits builders needing dual M.2

The board offers one NVMe M.2 slot with PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth and one AHCI M.2 slot running at SATA 6 Gbps. Five PCIe expansion slots include two x16, one x4 with steel casing and two x1, allowing GPU compute, storage controllers or networking add-ons. Builders who require newer socket platforms, integrated Wi-Fi or more than eight memory slots should consider other options.

Eight DDR4 slots with four-channel architecture

Memory capacity reaches 8 x 32 GB across eight slots running at 2133/2400 MHz with ECC and non-ECC support. This density decides whether the board fits memory-intensive workloads such as virtualization, rendering or database caching.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the NVMe M.2 or the SATA M.2 slot for my boot drive?

Use the NVMe M.2 slot for the boot drive; it runs at PCIe 3.0 x4 with up to 32Gbps bandwidth, while the AHCI M.2 slot is limited to SATA 6Gbps.

What does the 32Gbps NVMe figure mean once the board is in a real machine?

The NVMe M.2 slot provides PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth, so a compatible drive can reach up to 32Gbps theoretical throughput in this system.

Which PCIe standard do the x16 slots use and what does it cap in practice?

Both x16 slots are PCIe 3.0; each lane delivers 8Gbps so an x16 slot can reach 128Gbps and the two x16 slots can operate together.
