Hi, first time poster, and not been lurking that long either but thanks to all for such a valuable resource.
I'm embarking on a workstation build, mainly vfx work - mostly Nuke, Modo, PPro etc,.
So i've been looking for a good motherboard, LGA2011-3 seems to offer the best base. The super micro one listed above *seems* ideal for me, nothing fancy, no frills but dual xeon support, enough SATA, good PCI slots. I run a 10gbe network so the workstation would have a 10gbe card and then a 1070 or 1080 nvidia.
However people more knowledgable than me may be able to point out something wrong with this motherboard. It appears quite a bit cheaper than other offerings yet doesn't appear to be lacking in anything that i can see.
So has anyone built anything off this and are there any issues with it, am i missing something?
Thanks in advance
Paul
