So how is the parts search going Dave? You need to pump up that e-peener with some wattages.

**Bobsama** · 03-09-2010, 08:35 AM

That works with regular DDR3 ECC memory?

According to the FAQ on the EVGA forums, it does.

Yes, regular DDR3 or DDR3 ECC

if this board could possible mae any hardcore OC, imagine having a dual headed cascade like unrockstar is making and the 10 kw psu hipro5 is building..

The board is capable of doing well over 6GHz with the right chips,cooling and a talented hand running it.
I will not be getting to those speeds.
I have my goals and they are well short of those speeds..
The old line "Know your own limitations" fits very well here!

Great work Dave

**skycrane** · 03-10-2010, 09:14 AM

Any chance of sharing your goals? Shamino posted that it can get 200 to 205 MHz baseclocks on air in his FAQ, and given the multipliers...

So this weekend is the MOARgasm? I'm excited for you. That's a once in a lifetime "first kid on the block" experience there. God I love those.

Do I need to make a roadtrip up from CT to help with the build

**CyberDruid** · 03-10-2010, 12:45 PM

A long roadtrip would do me good...just need to sell my ass for gas

Nobody rides for free

**Sam_oslo** · 03-10-2010, 02:15 PM

People will need to buy MB when all these new 32nm CPUs hits the marked next week. Why isn't this MB released yet? Seams like a bad launch-planning for otherwise a great product that could sell like hot bread in coming weeks.

I got really surprised to find that EVGA E760 and E762 doesn't support these X56xx B0's either. Has EVGA's planners missed the news about 32nm-rash in next week?

**stangracin3** · 03-10-2010, 02:23 PM

he hasnt even turned the thing on and the thread is already at 13 pages...

like said before its gonna be a long thread.

WE EXPECT A BUILD LOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Movieman** · 03-10-2010, 02:41 PM

Reads, cringes..
Guys, parts are just hitting here. In fact the case arrived today, a day early.
My buddy at FedEx is into PC's, saw the company name and mine and got it here a day early..

I'd post pics but it's still in the box and every time I look I need to change my shorts.. A thing of beauty..

**Gamekiller** · 03-10-2010, 04:45 PM

Stop playin' around! We want pics!

EVGA is supporting the destop 6 cores in their boards BUT I hear there's a simple wire mod to support the xeon flavor 6 cores.
Gigabyte and Asus are supporting the xeon flavor in new bios.
The key to remember is that this is a pre release board.
According to the best I've found out release is scheduled for the ned of march, beginning of April.

Nothing to show yet..patience, just a few more days..
The day the Intel NDA lifts on the westmere's I'll be posting all with numbers.

boy, you certainly are milking the foreplay with this aren't we

[/joke]

now the real question is did you hit 7Ghz with it Yet

Not milking my friend.
The reality is I showed the pics as I figured the guys would want to see them.
Never in a million years thought there would be over 14,000+ views on this thread in 10 days.. Really, amazed me.
Then time to secure parts and get them here.
Remember where most of the PC parts come from: California and I'm in New Hampshire..
Thats 7 days to me by UPS ground which is what most of them use.
Doing my best and beleive me I want this sucker up and running myself..
I am also limited by the expiration of the Intel NDA on westmere's..
No signed NDA here but not going to piss at them and publish benches before that ends..
Not too much longer now and honestly, the timing works for me as I need that time for the parts to arrive,build,test,bench,write and post..

Will two of these work?
Xeon E5506

I have killed my 920 (got it when i7 first came out) and Striker II Extreme so it is time for an upgrade. I can get two of these and this MB for a doable price. Already have 2 HX1000's and 2 4870X2's on a great watercooling setup.

Yup, anything in the 5500 or 5600 series of Xeon CPU's will work, or at least should work with proper BIOS support
