Hi guys,
I'm planning to build a compute server / video workstation and thought about a dual xeon setup. I'm not sure yet which xeon processors I will put in this machine but I want to keep it expandable. Should also contain loads of RAM. Of course I want to run macos on the machine, El Capitan or newer. I also think about putting a nvidia based graphics card inside, but i think this should be no problem.
Edit: I though about using xeon e5-2640v4 processors with LGA 2011-3 socket.
Can you give me any advice which motherboards to use in this setup? I found stuff from around 2012 when people build xeon based machines but it's almost 2017 and this seems a bit outdated.
Do you have any other tips and tricks that I should consider in planning?
Best,
