Gigabyte MW31-SP0 Server Motherboard – Intel Chipset – Socket H4 LGA-1151

Overview
MW31-SP0 Workstation Motherboard Overview

2-Way Graphics Supported

For applications requiring heavy computing acceleration, the MW31-SP0 can receive up to 2 computing cards (Intel Xeon Phi, NVIDIA Tesla, AMD FirePro) or 2 GPU cards working together via the NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFire technologies. The MW31-SP0 is an ideal product to build a fully optimized dual GPU professional workstation for applications such as:

• 3D modeling, rendering, animation, and other graphics heavy applications.
• Audio & video production & post-production.
• Small scale scientific analysis and simulations.

Dedicated Expansion Card Slot

This motherboard uses a mezzanine card slot with 4 PCI-Express lanes with custom mounting socket to receive one of our proprietary expansion cards (see bottom of page). Positioned right between the CPU socket and its rear I/O, it can add additional ports and controllers to the board’s configuration and fit into a larger range of user scenarios

Supports the Intel Xeon E3-1200 V5 Processors

Formerly known as Greenlow, this new generation of single socket server and workstation processors is based on the 14nm process technology but comes with the new Skylake microarchitecture.

Among the main features of this new product family is the adoption of the DDR4 memory technology within the Xeon E3 line of processors, which brings a significant memory speed and capacity boost over the previous generation (up to 64GB at 2133MHz). The other big new feature is the increase of the number and speed of PCIe lanes available from 8 Gen2 lanes to up to 20 Gen3 lanes, which allows much wider board configuration possibilities.
