I was thinking of upgrading my motherboard and was wondering which motherboards are already supporting the new X58 with B3 stepping?
Thanks in advance

I assume CPU-Z should show it, as well as, Everest and the like.Originally Posted by iboomalot

ps, I just checked and Everest shows revision/stepping as 12/B2, and cpu-z just shows rev 12, but no stepping.

Uhmm am i missing something here ?

Well, Intel revised the X58 chipset from B2 stepping to B3 stepping about the same time they did the 920 CPU's to D0 stepping.
It's been a few months now and was looking for a new X58 board with this chipset in it as I bought a new 920 chip with D0 stepping and I'm hoping for a better OC.
I see Asus has a rev 2 of the P6T Deluxe and assume it has the new X58 chip, but haven't found out yet for sure. I'm not a big fan of Asus and was hoping for another option. I heard Intel did update thier X58 chip on thier BOXDX58SO motherboard, but I read it has limited OC options.

Great, good to hear some are out.
Hopefully more will respond with more boards supporting the B3 stepping.

There is no performance difference between the steppings, a few errata were fixed but performance improvements were not addressed.
I just ordered the Asus P6TD Deluxe which is supposed to have it. I heard that this board will only support D0 revision CPUs which is kind of crappy. wondering if that has anything to do with the chipset revision or not.
As someone else pointed out though, I don't think the newer stepping chipset allows better performance...although I would love it if it did

c0 is also supportd look @ asus cpu support page
E760 classfied has the B3 chipset, the newer ones atleast do. Also the evga LE X58 has one for sure.
So what is a rev 12 then? As that is what it shows on my board in cpu-z.
Very lame. My RIIG does not have it

Seems if they released a B3 fix they should fix all the boards though really. But i'm still not sure what has changed or what has been addressed. either way the person with the rev 12 or under is losing out then.
