Evga X58 Sli ultimate overclocking/ overview/ discussion thread

@
i am reading the manual and it says the PCIe slots are"reserved" for video cards...i was wondering if the last 16x/8x slot (4th 16x slot) could be used with an Areca 1210 8x Raid PCIe card...anyone seen posts by users employing this card on the 760 version board?...i'll give it a try anyway...first post will be without the card just to confirm the board is working ok.

I am sure it will work ok, even if I never tested.
I have an Asus Rampage II Extreme with an Adaptec Raid SAS controller PCIe 8x and naturelly it works in any PCIe slot.


Anyone here with a Xeon W3520 cpu?
If yes how is the lock situation with latest bios?

On my Asus I have:

- memory dividers available only 2:6 and 2:8
- Uncore clock locked
- QPI link speed locked.

Thanks,
