Good to hear, my A0's are still stuck at x18 Uncore with A49.

@Mydog
It's always a good idea with a fresh Windows-install when you change MB, specially when you get a new chipset.
It will be interesting to see how far those X5690's can OC. with x26 multi and unlocked Uncore, @5GHz should be within reach, if the vCore and cooling can follow though.

@Sam
Everything is working as it should now with Win7 Enteprise 64 bit

Do you think a Monsta Lite is enough for both CPU's and MB or should I ad another 360 to the loop?

Good to hear it is up and running fine

Well, I'm an air-man and don't know much about WC. But these CPUs run really cool with moderate voltages. The MB doesn't need much cooling either, except that hot and nasty VREG on CPU#0.
I don't think you would need a monster setup to cool it for 24/7, unless you want to go for really high speeds and voltages that wouldn't make sense as sweet spot for 24/7 anyways.

It really depends on the chip tbh man.... some run insanely low volts some take a lil more...

tbh, your running 2 cpus in close space so you might see a lil higher temp. but volts on Xeon are low so then again you may see better temps.

X5650 could likely do your clock with little tweaking, but the better you tweak it the better your payoff... (lower volts & temps)

thanks for the answer

as for the stepping, how do i know if i get the new one ?

All retail should be B1.... should not be issue man, just some are really good, but alot are average...

tbh man most all of them clock really well, shouldnt have to worry.

200 Bclk is a lil tough to hit for 24/7 usage, but you only need 175 MHz Bclk to hit your 3.5 clock.... Im betting with enough time spent tweaking you could easily pull off a 24/7 monster

If you need any help feel free to let me or movieman know or any of the guys in here

Many thanks for the help, i'll get back here as soon as i get the board

Put a Fan on Vreg @ CPU-0 and all will be well man...

CPU1 vreg is attached to main chipset cooler via Heatpipe therefore can offload some of that heat to the main cooler.... the cpu 0 cooler is up there all alone so is gonna need some airflow on it...

then again man they can run without heatsinks without an issue at stock clocks/volts

not overclocking but at stock speed will run without sinks for the most part.

As for A0, A1, and B0 CPU uncore is locked, only on B1 CPU have we been able to set adjust uncore Via Bios

[punx223]

edited post above.... B1 will have uncore adjust other cpu's microcode on taht stepping is different which affects ability to adjust uncore
