Right now I'm using the Asus rampage v Extreme motherboard with a LGA 2011-v3 socket. The cpu I'm using is the i7-5930K, and I would like to upgrade to the Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4. The cpu for the xeon uses FCLGA2011-3, and I'm wondering if I have to buy a new motherboard, or continue using the rampage v extreme mobo. Thanks in advanced!
 
Solution
It might work, with a BIOS update, although the CPU is not listed on the ASUS site.
The X99 PRO does support it: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99PROUSB_31/HelpDesk_CPU/
