I am planning to build a workstation with dual xeon processors and came upon the supermicro board MBD-X10DAI-0. Do you guys know if it is any good and also question on the disclaimer: CPU Type: Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 family (up to 160W TDP **) ** Motherboard supports this maximum TDP. Please verify your system can thermally support.
Now does that mean 160W TDP for each processor or both meaning if I were to use dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 which is 85W TDP each, does that mean the total now 170W which exceeds the 160W TDP motherboard specification.
Please advise.
Thanks.
