Hey Chaps,
Been awhile since I've been on here! I missed the overwhelming knowledge base.
I'm looking to do a bit of cannibalization of a system, I'm wanting to buy this server below;
Supermicro 4U 36-Bay Server X8DTN+ 2x Xeon X5675 3.06hz Hex Core / 128gb / Raid | eBay
However, as you can see the processors are old as dirt, and won't keep up with what I need. I wanted to add an X10 Style motherboard, and a processor in there for my Colo server.
SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SRA-F-O ATX Server Motherboard LGA 2011-3 Intel C612 - Newegg.com
+ an Intel Xeon E5-1660v4 8c/16t + 128GB of Memory + 2x 250GB SSDs + 2x 1TB SSDs, and 36x 8TB HGST Drives.
I have better backplanes, and if push comes to shove, I can buy newer SAS3 ones.
My question is; will this work, or is there a specialized motherboard needed for the Power Portion?
