Have need for a high compute workstation - looking at a dual e5-2630 V3 and need motherboard options. I don't need redundancy - its not a server running 24X7 - just a box that will do analytics when I sit down in front of it. Considerations:
1. Ease of assembly
2. Ability to overclock (IF this can be done with dual E5-2600 v3's?)
3. Only need 32 GB of RAM
4. Don't want a huge box. A mid-tower ATX size is plenty big
I can't for the life of me tell the difference between ASUS Z9PE-D8, Z10PA-D8 and Z10PE-D16 so any thoughts would be great. Not wedded to Asus but i've had a rig with an i7-950 and ASUS P6X58D that has been great for several years.
TKS!
