Question 1

can this motherboard utilize geforce cards , like gtx 1060 with full potential? i can not see any supported geforce card on the motherboard web page

Accepted Answer

Yes-  I have a 980ti in mine.  If you're running linux, just check for any driver support issues

Question 2

Is it possible to only install  only one processor?

Accepted Answer

Can confirm, single processor can be used. I'm using an E5-2620V3 and I'm having no problems at all.

What's cool about this motherboard, is that you don't lose any extension functionality with only 1 processor installed. Check out the manual for this motherboard on ASUS' website, and you can see the board layout for yourself.

Btw, CPU1 slot is the one that is furthest from all the backside IO connections.

Question 3

Is this mobo support E5-2620 V4 processor ?

Accepted Answer

Dulsara,

Go to Asus website, and look up the product page and manual. It will tell you which processors match. I didn't use the exact one you mentioned but similar. However, I confirmed first before buying.

That's where I found what other parts were matching the mobo.

Best!

Question 4

Can I install Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2660 v2 or E5-2650L v3 CPUs on this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

ASUS says it takes the entire E5-2600 v3 family

Question 5

What CPU cooler did you use?

Accepted Answer

I installed two CPUs on the Z10PA-D8, which is a great server mobo. I used the Intel BXSTS200C thermal solution for both CPUs. They work great, fit perfectly, quiet, plenty of cooling, etc.

Question 6

What is the size of this mobo? ATX? Extended ATX?

Accepted Answer

Actually it suprized us that it was ATX. We too had expected to be Extended however it fits well in a mid tower ATX case

Question 7

does this motherboard support i7 47XXK family processers?

Accepted Answer

i7 really should not be used in the C chipset series. You can only use one CPU as the i7 has no QPI link. Just get a Z97 or X99 board depending on the i7 you want to use.

Question 8

The processors I want to use (dual E5-2620 V4) are supported on this board as of BIOS 3107, according to the Asus product page. The processors are not supported in some earlier BIOS versions. What BIOS level does the board ship with today?

Accepted Answer

Hi Mark, I a regular buyer like use... I did a bios upgrade in order to install the CPU.

I am running windows 10 on this server and its working fine.

Question 9

Question 10

Is this motherboard compatible with 2x noctua NH-U12DX i4 coolers?

Accepted Answer

Alex, 
You have to look at product page site (asus + Noctua). There is a difference between Noctua fans that fit gaming / workstation boards and there those that fit server board. Please check both sites to confirm matching at both ends.

Best!
