I received a good offer, $500+ tax, on this motherboard and I had a xeon CPU and pulled the trigger on this motherboard to be used as workstation. Does anyone have any experience on this platform?
I am hoping that this will be a cost effective replacement of my current dual 2690V4 on an intel server motherboard with workstation friendly BIOS and features. On the other hand, I am not sure if Skylake will provide any major advantage over Broadwell. One particular thing, I am hoping to observe is longer turbo speeds due to higher power envelope from motherboard and water cooling. Any comments on this?
