Old LGA1155 mobo?

[windwaver]

I bought a 美可可 1155 B75 mobo from Taobao for about SGD $40 before..

Amazing thing is the mobo got a M.2 PCIE slot onboard too

If u bought a 1155 mobo from that era , none of it will come with a M.2 slot

Wah, this one?

was using a chinese brand lga2011 mobo for a year, then swapped it out with another one with vrm cooling, both worked well. for legacy platforms id say they are a safe bet.

Hey buddy, do we have to strictly use ECC memory with the LGA2011 Xeons?

Great! Are you running V3 Xeons that require X99 mobos? Just worried the older 32nm CPUs might run too hot with so many cores on air cooling.

nah im on a v2 xeon on x79 still. specs --->
anyway both v2 and v3 xeons are 22nm. my 120w 2696v2 is being cooled by a $5 air cooler
