it might be the SUPERMICRO MBD-X7DA3+

 

Nope, you will notice that the board you listed doesnt use Riser cards for the RAM.

Also there is an issue where the MacPro board is mounted "upside down" on the opposite side for a "normal" motherboard.

 

The Northbridge is Intel 5400B Rev C0

The Southbridge is Intel 6321ESB Rev 09

 

The name for the Mac Motherboard is Mac-F42C88C8

Here is a whole bunch of info grabbed from CPU-Z

What socket 771 motherboard is curently in every MacPro out there?

 

 

There's actually at least two different logic boards.

 

The original Quad core Mac Pro 1.1 has one based on the Intel 5000X chipset. It is Mac- specific.

It appears to have been manufactured by Foxconn, a major motherboard maker who also makes them for HP, Intel and others. They also make a lot of the Laptops out there.

 

The 2008 model 8 core Mac Pro 3.1 logic board is based on the Intel 5400 chipset and supports faster RAM and PCIe 2.0, but is otherwise similar.

 

Was there a 2.1?

Anybody?

This is not Mac Pro board this is for pc, Apple one dissassembled, refurbished or reconditioned sometimes on e bay is around 650/700 euro (not dollars), there is a little bit difference, sata controllers are not on board.

In any case your post proves that self build Hack Pro with same same hardware is more expensive than the original, two e5462 intel quad are now quoted around 1600 euro, mine (with sofware) was at 2499 euro (original).

Probably but modified there are not Apple mobo with sata controllers as on this and others Motherboards
