MSI BIOSes for MSI Motherboards with 2011 socket

LGA 2011, also called Socket R, is a CPU socket by Intel. It replaces Intel's LGA 1366 (Socket B) and LGA 1567 in the performance and high-end desktop and server platforms. The socket has 2011 protruding pins which touch contact points on the underside of the processor. Socket R uses QPI to connect the CPU to additional CPUs. DMI 2.0 is used to connect the processor to the PCH. The memory controller and 40 PCIe lanes are integrated on the CPU. On a secondary processor an extra ×4 PCIe interface replaces the DMI interface. As with its predecessor LGA 1366 there is no provision for integrated graphics. LGA 2011 is compatible with Sandy Bridge-E, Ivy Bridge (microarchitecture), and Xeon processors, subject to motherboard manufacturers adding support for the new CPUs on their LGA 2011 motherboards.
