And I have found several motherboards which are compatible with that CPU. But I have no idea about how to compare these motherboards to select the one which can achieve better CFD speed. Which motherboard factors shall I look at? I heard about motherboard is important for the data exchange speed between the components installed on it. Which speed is important for CFD by Fluent? By the way, the cluster will be composed of 8 motherboards. The CPU I chose is Intel Xeon E5-1620. I'm not bothering you by asking which motherboard is good. I'm just asking the way to choose more suitable motherboard. __________________ Best regards, Meimei
