X-PLUS X99 server motherboard with dual Xeon CPUs and eight DDR4 ECC memory modules installed

X-PLUS

X-PLUS X99 server motherboard, dual Xeon E5-2680 V4 14-core, 256 GB DDR4 ECC RAM

SKU CH-DB83-JJ1TF MPN X99

Dual 14-core Xeon E5-2680 V4 CPUs with 256 GB DDR4 ECC RAM on an X99 server motherboard

  • ProcessorIntel Xeon
  • Dual 14-core Xeon E5-2680 V4 CPUs deliver 28 threads for parallel workloads
  • 256 GB DDR4 ECC RAM across eight 32 GB modules protects data integrity
  • Motherboard and memory are new; processors are used retail units
  • 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes and dual-QPI 9.6 GT/s links enable high-bandwidth expansion
  • 35 MB Smart Cache and 76.8 GB/s memory bandwidth accelerate compute-intensive tasks

Dual 14-core Xeon server board

The X-PLUS X99 motherboard arrives with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 V4 processors installed, each delivering 14 cores and 28 threads at a 2.40 GHz base frequency. Eight Samsung 32 GB DDR4 ECC modules provide 256 GB of registered memory running at 2133 MHz. The platform targets virtualisation hosts, render nodes and compute clusters that benefit from high core counts and error-correcting memory.

Eight-slot DDR4 layout with dual-CPU power

The board offers eight DDR4 DIMM slots across four memory channels per processor, supporting up to 1.5 TB total capacity when fully populated. Dual LGA2011-3 sockets enable the 2S configuration with two QPI links operating at 9.6 GT/s. Forty PCI Express 3.0 lanes are available in x4, x8 and x16 configurations for add-in cards such as GPU accelerators, storage controllers or high-speed networking.

Replaces older dual-socket workstations

This kit upgrades systems built on earlier Xeon generations that lack DDR4 support or sufficient PCIe lane count for modern expansion cards. The jump is worthwhile when workloads scale beyond 16 threads and require ECC memory integrity, but it is not suited for single-threaded applications, desktop gaming builds or environments that demand the latest instruction-set extensions.

Questions about this item

What PCI Express revision and maximum lane count does the X99 board provide for add-in cards?

The board supports PCI Express 3.0 with up to 40 lanes total, configurable as x4, x8 or x16 links.

What socket and CPU cooler clearance does the dual Xeon E5-2680 V4 setup require?

Each CPU uses an FCLGA2011-3 socket measuring 45 mm by 52.5 mm; coolers must fit that footprint and handle a 120 W TDP per processor.

How are the two Xeon E5-2680 V4 processors and eight Samsung 32 GB DDR4 ECC DIMMs installed on the X99 motherboard?

Seat both CPUs in the two FCLGA2011-3 sockets, then populate all eight DDR4 DIMM slots with the 2133 MHz ECC modules; the step often missed is ensuring every slot is filled for full quad-channel bandwidth.
