    Xeon E5 2683 v3 and 3200mhz RAM?

    I have a couple different builds I am thinking about. One of them is a single E5 2683 v3 on an enthusiast motherboard ( let's say this one since it supports a bunch of different memory speeds).

    Supermicro X9DRI-LN4F+ Mobo GPU's and power options

    I want to use older server hardware to build a rig because I need at least 128gb or ram and it's cheaper than enthusiast grade options. I have a couple questions. I attached a picture of the X9DRI-LN4F+ motherboard and you can see that there are no snaps to snap the GPU in. Will I still be able...
