I'm about to buy a INTEL Xeon E-2246G (if I'm lucky to get one here) and put it into MSI MB Sc LGA1151 Z370-A PRO (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z370-A-PRO) and I have two uncertainties:

  1. Does "1151" socket stating "supports 9th gen Intel..." also include XEON CPUs? I believe it does, I am just not sure and unable to find out. I used to think XEONs need special sockets...
  2. Anyone has got experience running modern motherboards like the one above on Windows Server 2012 R2? I am not sure if this OS is officially supported or not, because it is not stated here https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/125903

Thank you!

  1. No, it does not, XEON E-22XX needs special socket: C246 [source]
  2. There are no official drivers at all on Intel page (by 2019-08-07) [source] However, LAN drivers are available by some manufacturers, e.g. ASUS [source]
