Ughgg, you're travelling with it? hehehe, ok!?!

Take a look at the other X99 boards ASRock offers then.

Yeah, I'm working with uncompressing large video files, and also playing back regular prores files while adding FX to them.

Now I have to find the smallest case possible for this eATX board as I'll be traveling a lot for work. I really appreciate your time, thank you!]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2016 02:38:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1900&PID=9769&title=mobo-for-xeon-processor#9769 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1900&PID=9734&title=mobo-for-xeon-processor#9734 Author: wardog

Thank you so much for explaining these things to me!

Obviously still in r&d about what components to get. This helps a lot. I'll look into this further.]]> Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:18:50 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1900&PID=9731&title=mobo-for-xeon-processor#9731 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1900&PID=9729&title=mobo-for-xeon-processor#9729 Author: wardog

Hi,

I need a little help on finding the right mobo.

Looking for Xeon e5 2650 v3.

2x titan X's.

Blackmagic Design Decklink extreme card.

Thanks for your time!]]> Tue, 02 Feb 2016 08:32:54 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1900&PID=9718&title=mobo-for-xeon-processor#9718
