please can anyone advise me for the right motherboard for dual CPU Intel Xeon E5 2699 V4 ES QHUP 2.1Ghz 22Core 55MB 145W LGA2011-3 this CPU is ES version, not Retail version

Hello Malmu6,

Thank you for joining the community

This processor you refer is a engineering sample (ES) as you state. Unfortunately Intel doesn't sell used, refurbished, or publicly sell engineering sample processors. Intel doesn't honor warranty for used, refurbished, or engineering sample processors. For more info go here

For compatibility information on the retail version of this processor you can go to ark.intel.com (http://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/91317/intel-xeon-processor-e5-2699-v4-55m-cache-2-20-ghz.html) and scroll down to compatible products. Ones there you should be able to see all the Intel server boards families that support this processor. All of them are dual socket though.

Hope it helps
