This board is a GREAT alternative to the ASRock boards that have been swept up by enthusiasts trying to build high core count computers/servers, as I have. Quad-channel memory support with 16 slots for DDR3 ECC RAM. The board has tons of SATA connetions, though only a few are the higher speed connections. I put a GeForce GTX 970 in the only PCIe x16 slot, and I have left the other 5 PCIe x8 slots unoccupied for now. A major downside is the lack of integrated audio, so I will be getting an audio card. The board is a SSI EEB form-factor board, so it will not fit in ATX or mini-ATX cases. I went with a Phanteks EEB case, and it fits well although there is no I/O cover for the back of the case. No big deal. The dual gigabit ethernet ports are a nice bonus, though I'm not sure what I would use the second one for. Be prepared to reset the CMOS/BIOS/whatever and do a bit of tinkering with the settings. After a little head-scratching, I got the board to run flawlessly with two sandybridge Xeons and Windows 10 Pro.Read full review

Built a ubuntu 14.04 LTS based system with one of these. Installation and configuration were very smooth. Got an old ATI Fire Pro graphics card and added a mid-range SSD. Code that can make efficient use of the cores runs very well. I will upgrade the memory to 128GB from the stock 64. Choose your case and power supply carefully - you will need two processor power supply cables and the form factor is unusual - this is a large motherboard.

I have standardized my workstations and servers on Intel S2600 boards. My main workstation is a s2600ip4 (designed for high end computing and storage use). I put together a backup system based on a S2600CP2J and use it for gaming. It is a solid, stable, and has everything you would need for this usage profile. At the time of this review, the S2600CP2J is practically the only reasonably priced dual LGA2011 board (short of odd rackmount configurations). There is very little difference for most workstation uses between the two - unless you are using coprocessors or doing GPU computing (not games or graphics). This is because the S2600CP2J only has pcei 8x slots. This doesn't matter for graphics (games or CAD). It would be a deal breaker for Nvidia Teslas or Xeon Phis because scientific workloads are often bottlenecked by the PCIE bus - even at 16x pcie 3.0. That's why we put such workloads on the S2600ip4 and the s2600GZ4 instead. I should add that there isn't an onboard SAS controller. Not really a problem for desktop usage, but expect to use a PCIE slot for a SAS controller IF you need that. This was intended as an entry to mid level server board, so a few "normal" features are missing. - No onboard sound - No USB 3.0 - Only the two blue slots have open backs, supply 75W, and accept 16X video cards. The black x16 slot is only x8 electrically, would interfere with the ram for a long card, and - as far as I know - doesn't provide 75W. - Later versions of the bios will set the boards to pcie 2.0 speeds to prevent the error log from filling with E5 V1 processors (the readily available ones!). Keep the bios at an earlier version IF you need pcie 3.0 speeds. - The s2600xx boards expects to be in communications with its fans. If they don't read anything, they sometimes freak and you'll have to go change some bios settings to prevent it from occasionally failing to boot due to panicking about missing fans.Read full review

I used this motherboard to build a complete system. Dual systems is set up. Linux based on Mint is stable, however, the Windows 10 system sometime shows blue screen. I still works on this issue.
