Older motherboards work with Xeon chips in some cases.
Older motherboards work with Xeon chips in some cases.
The ASUS CPU QVL doesn't display that specific Xeon model, only a handful of alternatives. Xeons can behave unpredictably—some function without being listed, while others may fail. You'll need to test it directly to confirm its compatibility.
I wasn't able to locate that specific list through a search, and I sensed a similar feeling of uncertainty. I'm choosing to proceed cautiously, hoping someone else might share a hidden perspective on this matter.
I was just organizing my emails when I found the answers to this old discussion. For anyone else who comes across this thread later with the same question, I’m glad to say that the Xeon E3-1275v2 works with the Asus P8H61-M LE/CSM R2.0 Micro. My home server has been running smoothly for nearly a year without any problems. Sorry if either of you are still checking this thread, but I felt it was important to respond.
