Motherboard for dual x5680


Recommended Posts

This may be a late reply and I cannot speak from actual experience with the board (yet), but I recently ordered a Supermicro X8DTL-i based on the the need for dual cpus on a ATX board.

 

It has a (almost) standard ATX format (most of the screw holes will fit)

It has a 8x PCIe in a 16x slot (I've read that the bandwidth in this scenario will not be very limiting in real world applications)

And of course it will accept two Westmere chips with the LGA1366 socket.   

There are a couple of different versions of the board with some having a SAS controller etc.
