SuperMicro definitely has 2p boards. ASUS and ASRock might have one or two but, beyond that, there aren't a whole lot of options. SuperMicro boards tend to be common enough though. The real question is if you can find one for a reasonable price in your area. This is kind of the reason why I had suggested an E5-2xxx or 1xxx CPU in the other thread you had made about this instead because you get higher clocks at the expense of the QPI links.@Aquinus i am just doing some test, i know it's a waste but anyway I just want to do some test, after that Motherboard and CPU will be sell, btw I did not find a dual socket board for that CPU, do you know any?
Either way, I'm sure you'll have fun with it.
Edit: To correct myself, I think 4xxx E5s have 2 QPI links, in 4p config the Xeons only talk to their closest neighbor.
