how do you like this WS board? I just got one about to put it together with a E5-2640v3 8 core 2.6Ghz wish I could afford the 18 core WOW what a beast and your 12 core must be great please I would like to know if you would do it again or change to something else? Thanks for sharing your rig
came here to say thank fucking god it supports your water cooler mount. i just wasted a whole day with a supermicro with a weird mount for the lga 2011 socket... Just ordered this and it will be here tomorrow.!
Guys, I have completed my WS built about a two months ago. It is crazy fast except for the boot time. My pervious WS was about 10x faster I regards to the boot time. However I like the flexibility I have with my current WS. Hopefully this year I plan to upgrade the SSD to M.2 and add two 18 cores Xeon. Also I have 1 Quadro k6000 in it and I am planning on adding 1 more.
Goodlife LifeGood I just did that build for my own rig. the Z10PE D16 WS is a great board. I have 32 GBs of ECC ram 2133 the same you listed and the Samsung 850 EVO 480 GB M.2 SSD it is so crazy fast after optimizing with a Samsung software. I have a K2200 Quadro but it does not compare to the single GTX-980 for the over 2,000 cuda cores as I edit on premiere pro cc. I have the E5v3 2660 its a 2.6GHz with 10 cores and yes I am only running one CPU right now as I just did the build last week. I am not happy with the case and I have a video if your interested a few actually. I will be changing it out for a double wide something very soon. I am also doing a second build for a gaming rig in a smaller form factor.
richcali21 Sure let see the video. I am really thinking about buying two intel xeon 18 cores 72 threads total only because vray my 3d render love cpu cores. and I agree with you about the video card. The case that i used work perfect with crazy flexibility.
Hello PCFRM COM I have this Motherboard Asus Z10PE D16 WS These are the rest of the pieces CPU Xeon E5 2683 V4 crucial 8×2 ddr4-2400 Hard 240G SSD GPU Inno3d Ichill X4 1070 8G When you install the pieces and play the screen appears black and at the bottom appears a word -- system installation --- in Motherboard shows Code B1
Hi, my ASUS Z10PE D16 WS shows these codes (AF,b0,b1)on motherboard digit screen and i don't know what these code means and how to fix this. could u help with a video or a text. thanks.
You could, but it would be complete overkill. A multicore I7 or Ryzen will do you better at a much more reasonable price point unless you're going for insanity like quad GPUs.
Jesse Geens with that many cores working hard on long renders causes these Xeon's to get hot and with two of them on the same board along with at lease one GPU and up to 16 sticks of ram then you will need all the help you can get to keep the temps down. The larger M.2 SSD's get hot as well
+sburns015 Yes I am able to get the CPU up to 2.73 and that is with the Asus auto clocking feature set to 1 and there are two more steps up but I am not water cooled yet so have not tried it plus there are manual settings as well. My CPU is a Xeon e5 2660v3 2.6GHz and the 2.73 from 2.6 may not seem like much but that is times ten cores and it jumped my cinebench scores by a lot even GPU got 10 more fps (Cinebench score was 166fps and all CPU's was 1560 and single CPU was 139). I have some great scores with all the benchmarking sites and for 3DMark Firestrike I get a score of 13,288 which is better than 88% of all scores and for Skydiver I get 35,436 and that score is listed as better than 99% of all other scores Wow! Its a great board I am very happy with it. I run a single CPU and a asus GTX980 with 32 GB's of ECC Ram which is 2 16GB's Sticks of ram my OS is on a M.2 SSD and it makes a huge difference over a regular SSD and was fairly cheap considering.
Can someone tell me how is this board supposed to support Quad CrossFireX when the board has only 6x PCIe x16 slots and each card will take one and cover the following one? I need an answer ASAP since I don't want to buy an extra card and put it to no use. Thank you.
Jobran Nasr this board doesn't, it's the asus z10PE-D8 that does the only way you can do quad crossfire or quad sli on this board would be by using 2 dual gpu cards like the 295X2 or the titan Z (since nvidia don't really make dual gpu cards anymore)
Jobran Nasr no problem, as far as im aware there are no dual socket 2011 boards that have all 16 dimm slots and support for 4 way sli/cf short of dual gpu cards
+Jobran Nasr If you went with a aftermarket cooling solution (waterblocks) you could get dual slot graphics cards to one slot per card, if you did that you should be able to run 4x SLI/xfire if the mobo supports it. Also keep in mind this would probably take a lot more work then what it's worth since the output portion of the cards would still be dual slot, so you would need to get a saw out. Another route would be to get a PCIe male to female "cable" (I think they are called risers I'm not sure though), this would let you reposition the graphics card to where you have room. But once again this is probably more trouble than it's worth.
3hit that would only work if the first card was incredibly short, it'd be doable with something like fury X or fury nano but short of that you'd be looking at the 970 itx or lower if the pcb is short enough, even then there's only spacing on the board for 3 cards anyways, your best bet if you're going for graphics is just to get 3 beefy ones and use the top slot for something like an intel NVME SSD or what have you
This literally made me cringe. Why don't you utilize the dual socket, the 1024Gb capacity of RAM, or the excessive PciE slots? There's also no reason to use the PciE risers for serial and usb2.0 ports. I literally cannot stand watching you turn a beast of a motherboard into a computer without using any of it's features.
tasman_devil I don't understand his choice as he has the 1.9GHz 6 core and for another $100 he could of had the 3.3GHz 6 core which is double the power of his processor. In my case I have the same board with a E5v3 2660 at 2.6GHz and 10 cores and at $1,500 each I could only afford one right now and the board was a little over $500
tasman_devil he actually put the single CPU on the wrong side as that is only for when you have both CPU's and I guess the cooler stuff to must have been a bad day but I don't know he has never responded
