I've search around google and newegg without much luck on finding any information for a LGA 1156 Motherboard with HPET support.
site:newegg.com HPET 1156 gives no results, but take out the 1156 and plenty of LGA775 out there.
My dell rack server has it and no where on the site was it mentioned. I had to ask several people to finally get an answer, figured it'd help to know a good place to start.
Thanks all :)

I would honestly put my money on that the board supports HPET but I wouldn't know as we have yet to build a 1156.
Please let me know if you for sure find out :)

Any board that we've used in the last 2~ years has supported HPET, it's hard to picture any new model not supporting it.

Which brands or model do you usually buy?

Anything SuperMicro is safe, but as for a specific:

If you need something a little cheaper:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121336
We've used both with good results and no issues

Those don't support 1156's (i7 860's cpu's) as far as I know.
