[Opteron146]

Question for JF-AMD

I have got a supermicro H8QGL-6F ( quad socket motherboard ) with only 2 opterons 6128 HE. Now i want to buy two others 6128 but not HE. So my question is : is it possible to mix opterons 6128 with 6128 HE on the same motherboard ?

Thanking you in advance for the answer .

Last time i checked all CPUs had to have the same vcore. That would not be the case with HE and non-HE CPUs.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Gigabyte 970a-UD3 with BD? Seems like a very good board for the money, 8+1 power too

I would prefer the older 870A-UD3 Rev. 3.1. It has better VRMs (low-rds) and more connectors (IDE, eSATA). Furthermore, where I live, it is a bit cheaper, too.
The only thing which is missig is the VRM heat-sink, but well, the low-rds parts are getting less hot:
