Intel CPU donation arrived today

Just got the package at FedEx. I had specified E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2, but they sent E5-2648Lv3. 12 cores with 30mb cache!!!

Long story short, can't use them on the motherboard I bought and these cpu's use DDR4 memory.  I will not be able to use the Micron DDR3 memory with them. :(

Don't know what to do. Need to put on my thinking cap.

After giving it a lot of thought, I will just have to order the two regular E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2 cpu's. If Supermicro sends me the server, all I need are those two cpu's.  I have everything else to get it started. although it has 24 DDR3, it can use just 16 slots.  I have done a lot of research on this.

If Supermicro can't help me out, then I just have to use the motherboard I bought with the Rosewill case. Still will have to use two computers instead of just one like I need to.

Just hope my friends at Supermicro will help me out this last time.
