View attachment 241365 Success Xeon / Asus Z10PE-D16 WS Build
Total ReWrite of my original post...
I've decided to try for the above Xeon Motherboard based on the availability of the board and the progress others have made with the Z9 variant of the same.
Board is ordered... Waiting on it and other parts for the build. Will post progress as it occurs.

E . D . I . T . E . D . I . T . March 12, 2017.
With the aide and assistance of many here and other places, I managed to have a functioning
Asus Dual CPU Mobo, the Z10PE-D16 ws
(2) - Xeon E5-2630 v4 10 core (20 physical/40 w/ both CPUs)
32Gram
980ti graphics
logickeyboard - resolve edition
kensington trackballpro
32" HP Envy34c Curved Wide Screen panel
Corsair HX1200i PSU
Functional graphics/editing/finishing/developing long life box.
Not much but good to say about the board. Lots of realestate.
Attachment "Z10PE-D16ws_billg_tonymacUpload" below was the most current plist to date.
Prior to this success, I had purchase v3 Xeons, and I got no where with installing.
Sucked it up and got a pair of v4's. Problem solved.
v3's will be repurposed into any future Asus X99-M WS builds, of which one is under way.
Anyway, attached is the functioning config file. Look it over, pump in a serial number manually or with Clover. Manual thru TextWrangler would probably be 100% full proof in not twisting anything in the plist, imho.
Updated to my most recent plist. I had some issues with nVidia web. All that is solved once I used the terminal to allow 3rd party software to be installed proper. After that was done, I finally got nVidia Control Panel working on the preference pane. It would crash after a few minutes on any boot. Now all is good.
