ASRock X99E-ITX/ac Broadwell EP Support

If you mean the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2630 v4 (25M Cache, 2.20 GHz), if you check the CPU Support List on this ASRock page for the X99E-ITX/ac mother board, at the very bottom of the list we can see the E5-2630 v4:

That link is for ASRock's USA website. Perhaps the ASRock website you are looking at from Germany was not updated with the correct CPU Support list. The E5-2630 v4 was not just released, apparently in Q1 2016. Just be sure to have at least the 3.10 UEFI version in your board to support it.

That's an interesting CPU, a 10 core Broadwell-E Xeon for less than $700 USD. It has a lower Base Clock of 2.2GHz, Turbo to 3.1GHz, and 85W TDP, with 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes. I imagine it is locked, so no way to over clock.

It seems only the Xeon E5-1600 v4 series processors support Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0. Not that it's important to have that feature, I doubt it will be used by any other Intel processor generation besides Broadwell-E.
