X99 LGA2011-3 Socket Motherboard for Intel Core i7 and Xeon CPUs with Quad-Channel DDR4

Black X99 computer motherboard with LGA2011-3 CPU socket, four DDR4 RAM slots, and PCIe expansion slots

This X99 chipset motherboard is engineered for Intel's LGA2011-3 socket, a platform designed for high-performance computing, content creation, and enthusiast-grade builds. It serves as a foundation for processors from Intel's Core i7 5th and 6th generation 'Haswell-E' and 'Broadwell-E' series, such as the 5820K and 5960X, as well as the professional-grade Xeon E5 V3 and V4 series CPUs. This compatibility offers a bridge between high-end desktop performance and workstation-level capabilities, supported by a robust power delivery system and extensive connectivity options for a fully-featured system build.

Core Components and Processor Support

The motherboard's core functionality is built around its CPU socket and memory architecture, designed to handle demanding multi-threaded workloads.

LGA2011-3 CPU Compatibility

The LGA2011-3 socket is the key feature, accepting a range of Intel processors. It is specifically validated for the 'V3' and 'V4' series of Xeon E5 server CPUs and the corresponding Core i7 58xx and 68xx series. It is important to note a specific compatibility restriction: Core i7 CPUs cannot be used simultaneously with ECC Registered server memory modules. This board requires users to match their CPU choice with the appropriate type of DDR4 memory for stable operation.

Quad-Channel DDR4 Memory

Four DDR4 DIMM slots are configured in a quad-channel architecture, which can significantly increase memory bandwidth compared to dual-channel setups. This is particularly beneficial for memory-intensive applications like video editing, 3D rendering, and scientific simulations. The slots support DDR4 memory modules running at 2400MHz or 2333MHz speeds, with a maximum total capacity of 128GB (4 x 32GB). The board offers flexibility by supporting both standard unbuffered desktop memory and ECC Registered modules, the latter typically used with Xeon processors for enhanced data integrity.

Expansion and Storage Connectivity

Designed for expandability, this motherboard provides multiple interfaces for adding graphics cards, storage drives, and other peripherals.

PCIe and Storage Interfaces

For graphics and add-in cards, the board provides two PCI-E x16 slots and three PCI-E x1 slots. Storage connectivity is comprehensive, featuring eight SATA 3.0 ports for traditional hard drives and SSDs. A standout feature is the inclusion of one M.2 slot that supports the PCIe NVMe protocol, enabling the use of ultra-fast NVMe solid-state drives that operate directly through the PCIe bus for dramatically reduced load times and faster file transfers.

Rear Panel I/O and Audio

The rear I/O panel includes practical connections for daily use: four USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, a PS/2 combo port for legacy keyboard or mouse, a single RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port powered by an integrated RTL8111H controller, and a full set of 7.1 channel audio jacks. The integrated audio solution provides a multi-channel sound experience suitable for gaming, movies, and music without requiring a separate sound card for most users.

System Features and Reliability

Beyond core specs, the board includes several features aimed at improving the building experience, system monitoring, and long-term reliability.

Power Delivery and Diagnostics

A robust power design is in place, requiring both a 24-pin ATX main power connector and an 8-pin EPS12V CPU power connector. The board features a digital fault diagnosis display (often called a debug LED or POST code display) alongside a system buzzer. These tools are invaluable for troubleshooting boot issues by indicating specific hardware checkpoints the system fails on during its Power-On Self-Test (POST).

Additional Features and Warranty

For further expansion, the board includes an interface for adding a WiFi module. An aesthetic touch is provided by an 8-LED audio trace lighting feature. The product is backed by a three-year warranty policy, which includes free service for the first year, followed by two years of maintenance available at a cost, providing a measure of long-term support for your investment.
