Motherboard for Xeon L5638

[idata]

Hello Community!

Today i have a very special question to all of you. I recieved a Xeon L5638 from a friend - the CPU itself was a replacement-part for one of his Lenovo C20 workstations. But the Problem: The CPU is not supportet by any motherboards on the german IT-Market.

I found some information that the X58-Chipset - also the 5520 Chipset - does support this Xeon as well. Also the Asus P6T-Series is well known to support the Xeon L5638.

Now the Questions: - Is there any hope that the Xeon L5638 is running in a Asus P6T WS Professional?- Are there any well known boards who are supporting the L5638?

I hope you will help me soon.

Hey,

i´ve just recieved a Gigabyte EX58-UD3R and the Xeon L5638 worked well after a BIOS-Update. Also some MSI-OEM-Thing out of a Medion PC (Germany) was working well. I think that a lot of X58-Boards will Support the CPU.
