Re: X58A-UD3R CPU Support plz help

I cant say for sure Maybe LSD or someone else can say for sure but im gonna say probably not because of the 2 qpi lanes vers 1 qpi lane that all the i7-9xx uses along with the xeon w3xxx uses.

If you already have the cpu you may needed to use a i7-920 first and make sure motherboard is upateded to the latest bios.

Forgot to mention that the UD3R is rev2.0 with latest beta FG1 Bios. I would apperciate an answer from a Gigabyte tech supporter

No, not supported. Did you even bother to look on the Gigabyte site? supported CPUS

Re: X58A-UD3R CPU Support plz help

Yes, it works fine



There are actually many supported CPU ID Strings in the Microcode that are not mentioned on the CPU support lists

btw that temps are with what heatsink? Temps and voltage needed to go to 3,8ghz seen awfull high. I was plannin to build the pc with that processor cause 1st i can find it very cheap and 2nd it uses 32nm built process so i thought it would require less voltage and generate less heat that i7-920 for example

PS. LSD iv sent you a pm about a bios mod request

That was from a random forum, so not sure could be stock? You could join and ask the user
[Feeler] Xeon E5620 - LGA 1366

More temps here, see post #30
E5620 owners. - Page 3 - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

In general yes, they are cooler than the older 45nm CPU's.

How cheap you finding these?

The cheapest i7 D0 i can find here is the i7-950 for 200euros and i can buy the e5620 for 10euros less.

I've had i7 920 , 950 and E5620 in X58A-UD3R ver 2.0 ( my home rig ) and got rid of the 920 and 950 and kept the Xeon because it runs cooler at same clocks air-cooling with Zalman CNPS10X Flex with push/pull . I had hassles getting the Xeon to work till I installed beta bios FF2 , and , with 950 installed manually set QPI bus and uncore and memory to lowest multi and cpu multi set to 16 . Voila! .

Quite funny - that other thread was also me selling one of 3 Xeons - picked 'em up really cheap , new , sealed in IBM boxes with passive low-profile cooler . Still got 2 of them , one I'm using , and one spare .

Thanks for your added info, how did you find this thread - linkback?

Are you really in Africa? If so bummer, I was gonna ask if you wanted to sell your spare cheap :)
