They? This 'they' publish compatibility lists.Man, I am so glad I asked... I'd've likely gotten one of those wrong processors if i were wanting one for this board. It's kind of disappointing they didn't publish any cpu compatibility list.
A heat gun or hair dryer will take it off it about 2 minutes and you can use 115x OEM heatsinks or anything that uses standard 115x mounting hardware.These are nice motherboards, but cpu coolers are a bit problematic due to the sm backplate on the cpu. The sm coolers work great, but cost about $60 (for the 4U cooler). Noctua says their cooler is incompatable with the sm cpu backplate. The Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 310 has a thinner cooler backplate and *may* work, but I haven't tested it.
They've randomly banned me too for similar issue, then randomly later I could buy from again... very oddBe careful with this seller. I bought a SuperMicro PCIe bifurcation card a few months ago and the card did not work on my SuperMicro board. I requested a return and shipped it back. Didn't hear anything from the seller. Then a week ago I needed an 1151 socket cooler and tried buying from this seller to find out they had blocked me.
It was a normal transaction/return. The item was listed with a 30-day return policy, I did not even speak to the seller and went through the normal filing process through eBay. I've bought several items from this seller in the past as well.
I can confirm all of this.I'm pretty sure these boards will turn on via IPMI/switch without cpu/ram installed. It's a nice alternative to the costly Supermicro CSE-PTJBOD-CB3 Power board for JBOD | eBay if you're looking to power on, manage fan speed, etc., a JBOD box for cheap.
Plus if you have a SAS expander, it'll power it via the PCI bus instead of a molex.
These motherboards need *udimm* not *rdimm* memory.I found the old processor from my z97, a g3240. I tried a few different sticks of ddr3-10600r in various slots, but I still get a 5+1 beep code, which indicates "ram error."
Should this processor work, or is my board borked?
Right. Derp. Let's see if I have any free...These motherboards need *udimm* not *rdimm* memory.
One you've got ECC UDIMMs...yes, the G3240 will work!I found the old processor from my z97, a g3240. I tried a few different sticks of ddr3-10600r in various slots, but I still get a 5+1 beep code, which indicates "ram error."

I...no kidding...have an Ironport 170 in the garage on top of the stack of stuff to strip/kitbash/redeploy. I'll see if its ECC in mine.model is SH57256813auhumsq0
Cisco pn(?) 15-13407-01, they were in an ironport s170.
My Ironport 170 has ECC UDIMM (Micron MT9JSF25672AZ-1G4K1)they were in an ironport s170.
