Hello everyone, i have an hp xw8400 server pc and i need to replace the motherboard in because i damaged some of the pin in the board when i was trying to re apply thermal paste to the second cpu in the system.

well i was searching on ebay and found this board http://www.ebay.com/itm/DELL-PRECISION-690-LGA771-tray-...

and i wanted to know if it would be compatible with the hp system because i've heard dell motherboards have compatibilty issues with non dell systems and hardware.

the reason i want to go with this board is because its a great price and has a pci ex 16 slot.

thanks everyone in advance.

It will not fit going by the pictures I finding of the XW8400. That Dell board is ~1.5" taller and the HP case will not accommodate it.
