What exactly would you use this CPU for?
Gaming, workstation, server?

Accepted Answer

Worstation or server

Question 2

Can kindly tell me what motherboard this CPU support?

Accepted Answer

My choice was the ASUS X99-PRO LGA 2011-v3 motherboard based on features, technological sophistication, warranty, and number of successful builds reported. Other manufacturers offering compatible motherboards include Gigabyte and MSI. Because you're investing in a premium CPU, take your time and do the research for your intended application, especially to ensure optimal socket and effective cooling options.

Question 4

Is it an unlocked multiplier?

Accepted Answer

No. IF you were to overclock this, you would be doing so by the base clock or BLCK setting on your motherboard. I would not recommend overclocking this AT ALL as it is by far not meant to do so. now unless you're running things that would benefit from a higher core count (serving data to multiple clients at a time, media encoding, etc.) I would be looking at the i7-5820K, 5930K or 5960X in respect to the power or core count you require.

On top of all this, you would not get much of a stable overclock out of it anyway with settings that would show any sort of benefit from doing so. maybe a 3 MHz BLCK overclock with good components.

Look at the i7-5930K or 5960X if you need an overclocking capable chip on the X99 platform. High core count and good performance.
