Did anyone use Intel XEON E5620 with X58 board?

would love to know if the the E5620 works in any of the low end Asus mobos..

Does anybody know, if it's possible to overclock this CPU with 20x multiplier (though it has 2,66GHz Turbo clock it shouldn't be a problem?)
I found information it works on GA-X58A-UD3R which is not so expensive, anybody confirms?

I bought an E5620 cheap on South African forum , bought Gigabyte X58A-UDR3 ver.2.0 and Corsair XMS3 1600 CL8 6gb kit . Tried cpu with default bios ( never was able to see what version BIOS was - no boot ) . I couldn't update bios as I had no compatible cpu for the board , so I sent the board back to my supplier and asked them to update to latest official BIOS ( FE at this time ) . Tried again - still nothing . Then I updated to latest beta BIOS ( FF1 at this time ) from Stasio @ the Techpowerup forums ( this time I had i7 950 to update ) , then , with 950 installed , changed multi to E5620 multi , and set uncore , DRAM and QPI ratios to lowest possible . Low and behold - the damn thing started ! ( All this is today , after 2 weeks of missioning and tears ) . Now I have CPU set to 211 x 19 ( you have to have turbo enabled to access 19x multi ) @ 1.35v under Corsair H70 . Must still check for stability and mount cooler properly with TIM properly applied . I will post some screenshots as soon as I've confirmed highest stable OC . I hope this helps - I struggled for 2 weeks trying to get this going and am now fully amped and stoked and happy ...... ad infinitum .
