So as I’ve said I am making myself a workstation. I ordered this mobo from aliexpress. It’s a dual socket LGA 2011-3 thing named ZX-DU99D4X8_V1.1 . It supports the Intel E5 2600 v4 line of processors. It also happens to have a misprinted QR code sticker on it.

So far I have 2x 2650 v4 processors and 6x 16GB 2400Hz + 2x 8GB 2133Hz = 112GB of DDR4 for it.

This guy wrote some stuff about the mobo and he says the bottom x16 PCIe is actually x8.

Rn I only have a R5 340X “Rebranded R7 250” for it but I want to get on of these cheap $80 NV K80’s eventually.

I only have 3 or so Dell 2007FPb monitors sitting around. But I hear that LCD and SSD prices should fall some before the end of this year, also GPUs may crash a bit.

Thinking I want to get one of these cheap used/open box LG 32GN63T-B gaming monitors that are going on ebay for well below $200.

All my watercooling parts are stuck in customs but for now the CPUs prob don’t need it.

I don’t want to get too into the weeds with this rn. I’m posting now that I’ve prepared all the measurements and a good photo of my mobo.

And the measurements I made:

So I need a working case. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/366303
