I recently acquired an Intel Xeon e5 1680v2 at a very low price. The main challenge has been locating a suitable motherboard. Most options I've found are either outdated server boards requiring proprietary PSUs or those with limited connectivity, which isn't ideal for my plans to use it as a workstation. If anyone knows about compatible motherboards, please let me know! I really don’t want to settle for low-quality Chinese parts.

I believe the X99 chipset could work with that chip, such as the Asus X99 Deluxe. Make sure to verify the CPU compatibility before proceeding.
