I happen to have a processor Xeon-E5 2011-3 2 GHz (10cores) but i don't know what motherboard do i need for it because it's an engineering sample. Can you give me a list of mobos on which this cpu can run seamlessly?

You will not find any motherboards that run this processor seamlessly, or support running this processor as it is an engineering sample.

Your best option is to return it to the place of purchase for a legitimate processor. Any board that you attempt to run this processor on is at your own risk.

I am providing this link as an example of boards that support socket 2011v3:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007627 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007627 600533617

Just select "2011-v3" on the check box.

Again, any use of your processor with these boards is at your own risk.
