Processor

The board is designed to support Intel Core i7 and Intel Xeon processors in an
LGA 2011 socket.
Other processors may be supported in the future. This board is designed to support
processors with a maximum wattage of 130 W with margin to allow for greater than
200 W operation. The processors listed above are only supported when falling within
the wattage requirements of the Intel Desktop Board DX79SI. See the Intel web site
listed below for the most up-to-date list of supported processors.

For information about…

Refer to:

Supported processors

http://processormatch.intel.com

CAUTION

Use only the processors listed on the web site above. Use of unsupported processors
can damage the board, the processor, and the power supply.

NOTE

This board has specific requirements for providing power to the processor. Refer to
Section 2.5.1 on page 61 for information on power supply requirements for this board.
