    hi

    currently i'm running a quite good rig, 5960x + msi godlike mobo, but i'm very tempted to go full nuts :banana: and go with a Z10PE-D8 WS dual socket and 2x E5-2699V4 22core.

    i run a lot of virtual machines, so i would definitely benefit from the total of 44cores.

    2 considerations
    - currently running @4.6Ghz, so singel thread would be wastly worse, would this affect gaming?
    - is it worth waiting for the next skylake-ep? z10pe-d8 is quite old.

    is there any downside going for the xeon lineup regarding gaming?

    Wouldn't it be easier to separate rig for personal usage and VM?

    You want a reliable dual socket 2011 v3 system ? Forget about ASUS boards.
    For that type of setup get a SUPERMICRO board, has less features and is ugly but is rocksolid like a Volvo :)

    Hi there

    As above there just go with another brand of server board like is Supermicro or ASRock, friend went with Z10PE-D8 and he got only headache and problems with that board and at the end he swapped the Z10PE-D8 for ASRock and no problems

    These Z10PE boards do have issues just check few forums and agree Supermicro boards don't look good as Asus boards but they're best with Tyan or ASRock

    Gaming on Xeon is not bad, but in some cases games don't or won't utilise all cores which can cause the issues but still gaming is not bad on Xeon

    Hope this helps

    Thanks, Jura

    can you tell what kind of issues he ran into? i'm a bit worried about sli, as i would like to keep my 3way sli and pci-e ssd. but according to the doc it is expected to work.

    most concerns on the forums were about memory, so i'm eager to know about problems :)

    plan b would be to keep the current msi godlike mobo and throw in a e5-2699.

    Then they could be using more than 4 cores... use of HT in games means you're short of actual physical cores.
