    Typically, yes. but they do have a line of "core" boards, that aren't XEON. So, yeah. There's really no reason why it shouldn't work... very popular CPU

    Yeah, it seems to be stable now :) And, again... SuperMicro is refusing to admit that there is an issue, and they want me to ship the board back to them, for further diagnostics... and, since I am in Canada, it costs me even more to ship it back to them... Not to mention, that they will...

    BlueIris causing hard lockups on new server (Solved)

    So, the never ending saga, that is this computer.... The SuperMicro C7Z87 motherboard, and the i7-4790K are not compatible. Changing the ring offset voltage "worked" in getting it "stable", but the computer would bluescreen every day, or more. We ended up swapping the motherboard out for an...

    Re: BlueIris causing hard lockups on new server ;) It is weird though... even my buddy doesn't understand fully why the "default" settings weren't sufficient? You would think, that it would have been just fine. I mean, it should have been? I am not doing anything special with this...

    Re: BlueIris causing hard lockups on new server WELL! Here is the conclusion (for today... and hopefully from now on) of my saga!!!! After RMA'ing the Mobo and the CPU (not thinking which one it could be... lets just do both), and it coming in, and still doing the SAME thing... I was about...

    Re: BlueIris causing hard lockups on new server Ok, the BI machine is at our Data Center, so we RDP in, or use the Web/Android Interface. Very rarely would we be hooking up a monitor to view it at the DC. So, don't worry about the video card then... Now, to figure out who wants the RMA...

    BlueIris causing hard lockups on new server (Solved)

    Re: BlueIris causing hard lockups on new server OK... after a LOT of testing, I can now verify that it is the GPU. Now, it is an i7-4790k processor, and a SuperMicro C7Z87 motherboard. It has Intel HD4600 video, and from what I understand, the onboard video gets signal from the CPU... but...
