I have a Chinese x79 "Atermiter x79g" motherboard working with a xeon e5 2620, 16gb ram and was thinking about upgrading to a xeon e5 2689 but I found the Xeon e7 4890 v2 at a good price and with interesting features (15 cores and 30 threads at 3.4ghz) just for the lga 2011, and I'm left with the doubt ..., Is it compatible with my motherboard?
 
I doubt it, my board runs e5 max, e7 is too high a TDP for the VRM's.
 
I believe that you actually need LGA 2011-1 (Socket R2 ) for that CPU to work......

Yep, the e7 4890 v2 uses a different socket than the e5 2620.
 
Sorry man, i think its this socket..

"LGA 2011-1 (Socket R2), an updated generation of the socket and the successor of LGA 1567, is used for Ivy Bridge-EX (Xeon E7 v2),[6] Haswell-EX (Xeon E7 v3) and Broadwell-EX (Xeon E7 v4) CPUs, which were released in February 2014, May 2015 and July 2016, respectively. "

Actually no it's not he needs LGA 2011-1 (Socket R2), and that is updated generation of the socket and the successor of LGA 1567 that was using Westmere & Nehalem microarchitectures.....
 
Out of curiosity, how are you liking that motherboard? I got a E5 2620 v3 heading my way and need a motherboard. I was suggested the D8 but its rather expensive ($130 CAD + $10 shipping from China so it will take like half my lifetime to arrive).

e5 v3 and v4 uses 2011-3, or the X99/C612 chipsets. OP is asking about X79, which is 2011 (not 2011-1 or 2011-3). So OP's board is not compatible with your CPU.

that isn't what I asked.

I asked about that motherboard. The brand to be specific (which I know I should have mentioned). The brand is questionable to say the least. But I am aware it is x79. They make more or less same kind for x99 motherboard in terms of build.

But I get the confusion. Sorry.
