I am starting a home server build. I am on a tight budget and aiming for the most quiet and low power build. I managed to salvage an Intel Xeon X3440 Processor from an old server. It uses an intel LGA1156 socket. After a brief google search it seems that the only boards that support this processor are server grade boards. I am looking for a recommendation for a low cost server board that will support my processor.Link for CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/42928/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X3440-8M-Cache-2_53-GHz
Home Server Build around Xeon X3440 CPU

You can use motherboard with Intel P55 Express Chipset it is not listed in compatible devices list but people run this Xeon on this chipset without any problems.I recommend to look for some used motherboards with this chipset on auction portal which you use in your country (or specify country where we should look for it). I would recommend looking for motherboards like:MSI P55-GD65Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3Asus P7P55DBut you can always look for other motherboards with Intel P55 Express Chipset
