W480 is still PCIE 3.0, from what I have read. I’ll probably end up getting one of these: https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/Pro-WS-W480-ACE/ https://www.as

  Nice. What interests you about these Xeon CPUs specifically?

    The software I use, uses between 2 and 4 cores. I’d say 70% of the time it’s 1 core. Thus these new processors with 5.3 GHz on a single core should work well. I also have another application that can use 8, with diminishing returns past 2. I thought I’d have to settle for the non-ECC i9-10900K, and risk memory errors for long simulations. The Xeons have always been slow on clock speed, and high on cores. My ideal setup is a gamer PC with ECC, and this W-1290P seems to fit that. I can’t use AMD as those Intel math libraries are 30% slower on AMD (equivalent clock and cores).

      Cool, thanks for sharing.
