check my thread about the X3460 ;)

Probably not to hard to run 19x200... if you got a good chip with decent cooling I would think you could do 20x200 turbo enabled (24/7). I don't see many people running these "i" series at 210 bclk except for some limited benching. I tested mine up to 3.9 and I'm still working on getting 4.0 fully stable. The last couple of weeks I've been testing i5 750.
So the x3440 @ $250 CAD > core i5 750 @ $220 CAD if you get the Turbo and HT to work, right?
any one confirmed whether Xeon X3440 will work on a Gigabyte P55M ud4?????
i've seen some guys at those "hackintosh" forums using a x3440 with a ud2 and even a h55m s2h...
i have the latest OFFICIAL gigabyte bios "F11"...so....
I could save almost 100.00 canadian by getting this xeon instead of the still overpriced 870 and taking it to the same 4.0ghz...(in theory anyway - maybe 3.8)

gigabyte lists no support or option for it on their joke of a support site....if you can even call it a site...LOL :rofl::rofl:
edit: nevermind found over 10 others on other forums using it with everything from a h55m to a ud5 and of course the ud4 and it's brother the ud4p
i think i'll be alright
and most NOTABLY this...

thanks:up::up::up::up::up::up:
by the way it seems a bit confusing...how many threads do you get at 20x200???
cause i would rather make it pull its WEIGHT for once and do 19x211 for a true 4.0ghz unless the 20x gives youl the FULL 8 threads-i mean otherwise the 4.0 ain't real.....
and yes i can convince this board to do 211 fsb...

know what i mean????
i mean if i'm going for 4.0 i don't want it to be just "in my head"....
