The Xeon E5 v4 family (Broadwell-EP) is architecturally compatible with the C612 chipset because it uses the same LGA 2011-v3 socket and FCLGA interposer. However, because v4 CPUs were released after the initial launch of the C612, they require a to function.
| Feature | Details | |---------|---------| | Socket | LGA 2011-3 | | Memory | DDR4 ECC RDIMM / LRDIMM (no non-ECC UDIMM on most boards) | | Memory channels | 4 per CPU (8 total with 2 CPUs) | | PCIe | Up to 40 lanes per CPU (v3 = PCIe 3.0, v4 = PCIe 3.0 – same) | | Dual socket | Yes (E5-2600 series only) | | Overclocking | Not supported (locked multipliers) | | TDP range | 45W – 160W (some v4 SKUs up to 165W) | intel c612 chipset cpu support
