Hi,
I'm looking for X79 chipset motherboard for Xeon E5 1620 sandy bridge , I try to compare the motherboard but unfortunately that option not available for 2011 socket. So just need a bit comparison & suggestion. I need board which can support ECC registered RAM & if possible motherboard can support new CPU support and other features.

Since you wrote Xeon E5 1620 Sandy Bridge, that processor is used with the X79 platform, as you know. X79 mother boards are no longer sold by ASRock in the USA, and may not be sold anywhere else in the world. They are probably no longer manufactured by ASRock at all. That is why they are not included in the list of boards on ASRock's website. You can find the information about ASRock X79 boards on the mother board information page, by using the Search box on the top, right side of that screen. Just enter X79 in the search box, and a list of boards will be shown: http://www.asrock.com/mb/index.asp?s=Current For example, the Fatal1ty X79 Professional board supports ECC memory when used with a Xeon E5 processor: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20X79%20Professional/?cat=Specifications You might be able to find used ASRock X79 boards for sale on websites like eBay, etc. X79 boards, with the original 2011 socket, are only compatible with Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge generation processors. Intel does not have any new processors that are compatible with the 2011 socket used on X79 boards. ASRock also has their professional server type mother boards, at their ASRockRack website. The website below has a two single CPU socket C602 chipset boards, which is Intel's professional model name for the X79 chipset. Just check 2011 in the "Selected by CPU Socket" option on the left side of the screen, and then select Server MB or Workstation MB at the top. http://www.asrockrack.com/general/products.asp#Server http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=EPC602D8A#Specifications http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=EPC602D8A#Specifications |

No I mean X79, The E5 1620 which I mention is sandy bridge and X99 support haswell & Broadwell. If you see E5 1620 there is V1,V2,V3 and V4 will be mention which shows the generation.

Oh sure! Highlite Sandy Bridge. Yea. I did miss that didn't I? OP, research from the X79 boards by first choosing your processor from the below list: And my apology for that bone-headed link I provided earlier post. Me bad. I'll now return to the AMD sections, where I obviously belong http://asrock.com/support/cpu.us.asp?s=2011 |

Don't feel too bad Wardog, the Xeon naming scheme is stupid....
E5 1620 E5 1620 v2 E5 1620 v3 E5 1620 v4 Really intel??? The same name spanning 2 incompatible chipsets with 4 different architectures. I have often wondered what their marketing department is thinking...... At least with the Core i named parts there are actual obvious distinctions though even then I am sick of seeing i3, i5 and i7, especially when they insist on only including the prefix on the stickers that get slapped on OEMs. i7 laptop for sale $500.... ok so is it Nehalem? Sandy? Ivy? ya know what I mean? |

The devil is in the details, as they say, and it's true. Knowing Intel systems is all about endless details. My extreme attention to details is caused by my time as a programmer, where one character missing or in the wrong place means complete failure. Everyone belongs somewhere... AMD has plenty of its own details, like the number of PCIe lanes on the various chipsets. Wait until Zen is available, it looks like it will be a forget everything you know about AMD kind of change. All the features Intel has been dribbling out over the years, all at once, BOOM! You'll need to have a Zen system to keep up. We all should. |

I think in the case of the Xeon line, which is for the professional server environment, the naming scheme makes some sense. That is, the use of the same model number, for example E5 1620, identify them as 4 core, 8 thread processors in each vx generation. Once you know what an E5 1620 basically is, you know what it is in each generation. Add to that the number of Xeon models available, 43, 47, 48, and 44, in each of the vx generations respectively, that helps keep the 182 individual models (!) sorted out a bit better. Imagine if Intel changed the model number itself in each generation. The other side of things, the consumer models, are dumbed down for the majority of people that have no idea what the difference is between and i7-2600K and i7-2700K, i7-3770K, i7-4770K and i7-4790K, i7-5775C and R, i7-6700K, and now i7-7700K. The above is an example of the confusing Intel consumer side of model names. But the generations of Intel consumer processors is easily decoded, as long as you are familiar with Intel's generation number and naming scheme: 2nd Generation is Sandy Bridge, ix-2000 series. 3rd Generation is Ivy Bridge, ix-3000 series. 4th Generation is Haswell, ix-4000 series 5th Generation is Broadwell, ix-5000 series 6th Generation is Skylake, ix-6000 series 7th Generation is Kaby Lake, ix-7000 series This excludes the Pentium models, which I won't try to explain. |
