They've done it! After building the first LGA2011v3 motherboard in the mini-ITX form-factor, letting you cram up to 8 "Haswell" cores into a lunchbox-sized PC, albeit having to make do with just dual-channel memory; ASRock developed the first mini-ITX motherboard with not just LGA2011v3, but also its full quad-channel memory interface, called the EPC612D4I. There's just one rider, which shouldn't really be a dealbreaker - this is a server-grade motherboard, and is bound to be expensive.

The EPC612D4I achieves its quad-channel memory chops by using smaller DDR4 SO-DIMM slots instead of standard-sized DIMM slots. Availability of aftermarket DDR4 SO-DIMM memory is close to non-existent, but that could change with 6th Generation Core processor notebooks hitting the shelves by Holiday 2015. As an enterprise board, it also supports Xeon E5-1600 V3 and E5-2600 V3 processors.There are no CPU overclocking features, because the board's driven by an Intel C612 chipset. The lone expansion slot is a PCI-Express 3.0 x16. It even comes with a basic onboard video, driven by an ASPEED AST2400 remote management chipset, which gives display output by D-Sub, and supports resolutions of up to 2048 x 1536. This chip is wired to its own dedicated GbE connection, while two other GbE connections are given out by Intel i210 and i217LM controllers, wired to the chipset's MAC. Storage connectivity includes four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. The board comes with official support and drivers for all its onboard devices, for Windows 2012 R2/2008 R2 SP1, SuSE Server 11 SP3, RHEL 6.5, CentOS 6.5, Fedora 19, Ubuntu 12.10, and FreeBSD 9.2.
