It's worth noting that W680 boards are not a server board, they're a workstation board, and often times they're overclockable (or even overclocked by default). Wendell actually showed the other day that the ASUS W680 board was feeding 253W into a 35W (106W boost) 13700T CPU by default[1]. Supermicro and ASRock Rack do sell W680 as a server (because it took Intel a really long time to release C266), but while they're strictly to the spec, some boards are really not meant for K CPUs. For example, the Supermicro MBI-311A-1T2N is only certified for a non-TVB E/T CPUs, and trying to run the K CPU on these can result in the board plumbing 1.55V into the CPU during the single core load (where 1.4V would already be on the higher side)[2]. In this particular case, the "non-OC'd server-style motherboard" doesn't really mean anything (even more so in the context of this announcement).
