Compatible Platforms and Motherboards
The BX80648I75960X is compatible with motherboards that feature the LGA 2011-v3 socket. These motherboards are specifically designed to support Intel’s Haswell-E processors, which includes the BX80648I75960X. The LGA 2011-v3 socket is different from other sockets, as it has a larger number of pins and supports quad-channel DDR4 memory. It also offers 40 lanes of PCI Express 3.0, which allows for multiple high-speed devices to be connected to the motherboard at the same time.
When looking for a compatible motherboard, it’s important to ensure that it supports the LGA 2011-v3 socket and that it is compatible with the BX80648I75960X’s TDP of 140W. Additionally, it’s important to check that the motherboard has the necessary features, such as support for quad-channel DDR4 memory, multiple M.2 and U.2 NVMe SSD slots, and a high-end audio and networking subsystem.
Some examples of motherboards that are compatible with the BX80648I75960X include the ASUS X99-E WS, the ASRock X99 Extreme4, the Gigabyte X99-UD4, and the MSI X99S SLI Plus. These motherboards are known to be compatible with the BX80648I75960X, however, it’s always recommended to check with the vendor or the motherboard’s manual to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
