Workstation Motherboards

All motherboards

13 workstation motherboards from Supermicro, Shangzhaoyuan, Machinist and more. Most cost $185 to $949, and half cost less than $748.

Boards whose listing states an LGA2011 family socket. Intel's Xeon platforms, which take many cores and far more memory than a desktop board.

We do not pick by hand: a motherboard is here because its listed specs pass the checks.
