Question 1

I see in the specs: "*Xeon processor E3-1200 v3 series processor support is an extended advantage provided by ASRock Rack. It is out of warranty, user's discretion is required."

So does this board support the other 1200 series v3 Xeon E3 cpus? Like the Intel Xeon E3-1220V3 or Intel Xeon E3-1241 v3?

Accepted Answer

Well. I can say that it works for me! I'm running a 1231v3 for my storage server. Seems to work great for the most part. Has a couple weird quirks with the onboard marvell* nic which made me get a pci intel one (cant say if its not just the os though), but other than that, its been running 24x7 pretty solidly since 7/2014

Question 5

what power supply inputs does it use, and does it have onboard graphics or do i need a dedicated card? Ill be running windows server 2012 R2

Accepted Answer

Any 12v power supply with the standard 24-pin connector will work, you WILL need to have a CPU with integrated graphics as this does not have an internal graphics card. Found that out the hard way. Otherwise a great motherboard for Servers!
