Did anyone use Intel XEON E5620 with X58 board?

How about overclocking

i notice the low multiplier

(this is the cheapest 1366 32nm in my country)

One user on oc.net has one; Hey_zeus I think it is. IIRC, he had to get a custom bios from EVGA to get it running on an x58 classified.

How do you get a custom bios from EVGA?

updated i see some test

Asus Rampage II Ex can run it

Gigabyte UD7 UD9 [no boot]

Pretty sure most Asus boards will run the dual QPI Xeon's. The Classified will run it, but you have to do a hard mod to get it too. Not sure about the Gigabyte boards though.

I have the six core 5620 on a gigabyte-ud3r motherboard and can overclock it to 4.2 on air.

I had a 5630 running on a Classified and it ran pretty damn good. Overclocked quite easily to 4.4Ghz BUT it was a total waste of money at 600 dollars. The pro's is that it ran extremely cool. When i say extremely cool i mean 60C load's at 4Ghz with a stock intel cooler but the low multi def kills overclocking potential unless you get a board that can turn a high BCLK.

How new is the classified? I had to puchase mine directly from EVGA because the newer boards had a different revision then the older boards that allowed it to run the dual qpi chips. Let me see if i can find my post over at the EVGA forums.

I beleive Q4 of 09

**Sam_oslo** · 08-14-2010, 12:20 PM

My GA UD7 could run at @4.18GHz(220x19) with a X6550 for 24/7, but some new MBs are hitting pretty high BCLKs these days.

BCLK240+ will get a good OC out of E5620, and it will be interesting to see how these newest MBs can do with e E56xx.

I run a X5650 on a R2E, so the E5620 should work as well. The problem is the locked uncore that will probably limit your oc fun.

As there's no bios (as far as i know) that unlock the uncore on asus boards, i recomend you getting a gigabyte.

**ramfan** · 08-16-2010, 12:17 PM

revision 1 pcb classified will need a hardmod + newest bios
revision 2 pcb only bios update
revision number is at lower left

i think 4 way classy is only rev 2

**Zaxis01** · 08-16-2010, 12:37 PM

Yeah my board is a Rev 1 I'm selling it and picking up either a rev 2 or sr2

Any word on the R3E??

**ramfan** · 08-20-2010, 12:59 PM

R3E should only need a bios

**Zaxis01** · 08-22-2010, 12:38 PM

Can anyone explain this to me?

**~~-Sweeper_~~** · 08-23-2010, 06:11 PM

what about P6X58D Premium?

should work fine?

Yeah, I am currently looking at getting an EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI, but there is no way of finding out if this board will take an E5620 with high qpi.

PLEASE can someone who owns this board comment on the use of a 32nm cpu.

I hope it can, because for the price, Asus, MSI and Gigabyte start to look good.

It's a A0 ES chip. The retail B1 has been changed.

**PatRaceTin** · 08-28-2010, 03:44 AM

I see some result in my country
