I'm so confused fused by the chips set and socket of this thing. Can some one tell my which socket types are compatible?

SupervanillaiceNewegg has this board listed at $156.19 USD. They also list the C232 chipset with the LGA1151 socket.

SupervanillaiceThis board's chipset is compatible with Skylake Xeons, Pentiums and i3s. It doesn't work with i5s or i7s.

McMoronThis is 100% incorrect, this chipset supports any 1151 Skylake CPU. Confirm here: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=5802 The C series chipsets just support ECC and Xeons in addition to the consumer grade hardware.

techwizWell, colour me wrong. I only made my previous comment as I current run a similar MSI motherboard with a Xeon, which had specs saying i5 and i7 CPUs were incompatible. If Gigabyte is right, then great. However, I'd be very careful with buying this motherboard on the assumption an i7 will work in it.

McMoronIf that board was a server board then they would not work with any consumer CPUs at all, this includes all Pentium, Celeron and Core series CPUs. This is to prevent consumers from putting much more powerful enterprise grade Xeons on cheaper consumer motherboards and prevent enterprise from bulk purchasing much cheaper prosumer high end CPUs for enterprise environments.

SupervanillaiceThat is correct according to Gigabyte's list of supported processors for this board.

McMoronSkylake Xeons do not exist. Current Xeon generation is Broadwell.

SkipPeWhat are you talking about, dude? The E3-1200 series (http://ark.intel.com/products/series/88047/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1200-v5-Product-Family) are all Skylake and they're all compatible with this mobo.

techwizMy bad, I was thinking E5 and E7. I forgot about the baby Xeons. Thanks for correcting me.
The sad thing is that I just built a bunch of Haswell E3 machines a couple years ago.
