Comment on Sandy Bridge-era motherboard gets M.2 SSD boot support 12 years after launchparent

Well, that sounds fun. Do you find these boards on AliExpress?

Do a search for x79 and x99. Or the socket type of your preferred xeon chip.

People recommend the machinist brand motherboards. I've had good experience with the Killrser (typo) brand.

At the prices you see it seems too good to be true but those xeon CPU/motherboard/ram kits are the real deal. It's mind blowing buying a Xeon processor for the price of a cup of coffee.

If you live in an area with low electricity costs, or a cold climate where the computer ends up heating your house it's a hell of a deal.

Check out YouTube for reviews and gaming benchmarks on these systems too.
