I was going to get myself the i7 4770 and someone suggested I get the Xeon E3 1230 v3 to save myself quite a bit of cash. They both use socket 1150. So you would think they can both be used on H87 or Z87 motherboards. I had one person step up and tell me that I could not get the Xeon processor because it is meant for C220 series chipsets. So I checked the datasheet and that is the only chipset it lists for it to be used with. You can see for yourself on page 9: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/xeon-e3-1200v3-vol-1-datasheet.html
Now there's people out there making the claim that the Xeon will in fact work with the H/Z87 motherboards....can someone tell the truth on this matter?
