As the title states im getting a xeon e3 1231 v3 which will have hyperthreading, i need to know if you need a special motherboard for hyperthreaded cpus or will a regular h97 motherboard work fine?

Yes, any socket 1150 motherboard will be compatible with the Xeon E3-1231v3 as long as the BIOS is updated (on the elder 8 series chipsets, e.g. H87 etc.). Since this is regarding a H97 motherboard, it'll most likely be compatible without a BIOS update due to the H97 being more recent.

Hyper Threading does not require a "special" motherboard; it's simply a feature the processor provides.

All the best. :)
