I've inherited an E5-1620, which is a 4 core 8 thread part from the Sandy Bridge generation. I'm trying to source a compatible motherboard to go with it.
I understand it's socket LGA2011, but there's also something called LGA 2011 v3 - is this different? Does the E5-1620 work in the same motherboards are the E5-2620 for example?
Never built with Xeon chips below, so I a quick breakdown of the chipsets and compatibility is required, can anyone shed some light?

, but I wouldn't invest too much money in one. I am wondering how much longer he can stay on that old platform, though getting a PS5 should keep him happy for a while.
