This time, we are putting a more modest Intel C232 board, the E3V5 WS, through its paces. This is still aimed at workstations, but smaller, less powerful units.
The socket used is LGA 1151, so this will accommodate processors up to quad-core. It supports the latest Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 series, and sixth generation consumer-grade Intel processors.
Up to 64GB of DDR4 SDRAM can be fitted, and this can be the ECC variety with a compatible processor. So this motherboard may be small, but it’s possible to build a pretty powerful PC with it.
