Im sure there is a market for gaming oriented, with Server Feature Motherboard for Socket 2011-3 for XEON v3/v4/v5 CPUs. There is nothing which satisfies my need, i had an Asus Z10PE-D8 WS, then changed to a Supermicro X10DRi-T4+, this one makes Problems also, the USB 3.0 from back dont funtion, the onboard LAN doesnt seem to work when i plug the cable (im forced to use a usb 3.0 wireless stick), and also pluging in two radeons 295x2 also didnt work (i currently have a single 1080 classified - im curious if and when ill get the second if ill have the same Problems as with the 295x2s)
 
So, is EVGA planning for a Motherboard like this ?

    That is why they are called Server Motherboards, myself I am looking at the 7048A-T with the X10DAiMB.

    It sounds like you got a duff Supermicro board.
    The Asus Z10PE is a very good board (tradeoff between an extra PCIe slot and double the memory slots between the two variants). What requirements of yours did it not meet, exactly?

    Supermicro X8DTH-6, 2x X5690
    Crucial 12x 8GB x4 DR 1.35V DDR3-1600 ECC RDIMMs (96GB)
    3x GTX 1080Ti
    Triple-Seat Virtualized With VGA Passthrough (KVM)

    Im in the process of getting a Z10PE-D8 WS from RMA again, second time,
    The Supermicro that i currently have, might have to send back to warranty as well, it also has some problems !

    This kind of thing is down to luck, and the luck has been getting worse in recent years as margins get squeezed, QA gets reduced and not enough spares get made to service replacements during the warranty period. I have two SR-2s. One I bought 2nd hand on ebay and that one always worked (within the envelope of the SR-2's many design faults). The other I bought new, and it was replaced 3 times within the first year (by refurbs, since there were no new spares left within a year of it going out of production, despite 7 years of warranty remaining).
     
    Granted, EVGA's customer service is superb, and Asus' is known to be by far the worst in the entire industry, but from personal experience, the engineering situation is inverted. As you can see from my sig I have replaced my SR-2 with a Supermicro X8DTH, and I am much, much happier with it.
     
    Also, if you have been having problems with two different motherboards from two different manufacturers, it may be a good time to invest into a new high end PSU (top of the line EVGA, CoolerMaster or Corsair, read reviews on amazon to narrow down your choice). A good earthing wrist strap might be worth investing in, too.

    <p>Im in the process of getting a Z10PE-D8 WS from RMA again, second time,</p> <p>The Supermicro that i currently have, might have to send back to warranty as well, it also has some problems !</p>
     
    THe Z10PE-D8 WS was perfect for what i intended, then it had become problems, and i was fed up with it, and didnt wanted to go through the rma again. So i bought the supermicro.
    From the PCI Express ports the ASUS is better. From the RAM ports and LAN, the Supermicro is better, the problem with supermicro is that im not sure SLI works. I had problems booting with two 295x2, reason why i sold them back (was so sad about it)
    Two 295x2, are the reason i have two antech 1300 PSUs, they are more than enough for stable power delivering. Wanted to get a TItanium 1600 EVGA at the time, but was not on the market at that time.
     
    Will test two Arctic storm 1080 in Asus returned from RMA.
    Wisch there was a real good EVGA mainboard for dual xeons on the market though !
     
    WHat i would consider would be the 11 PCI Express port motherboard from Supermicro.

    Personally, I don't trust EVGA's motherboard engineering quality after owning two SR-2s and this thread:
    http://forums.evga.com/X99-Classified-18core-Xeon-CPU-and-ECC-RAM-Compatibility-m2434113.aspx
     
    I'll still buy their reference (and only reference) Nvidia GPUs, though.
