'Bit too chicken-shit, waiting on xtra bios chips. And instructions still clear as mud for dual xeon mobos. But fantastic find and forum! Props to the gurus!

Well on an imported archviz, with Vray in maya, it only takes 2 minutes on hybrid render (lowly gtx 770 and 2 x e5-2696 v3), for basically production ready 2.5k render. In fact, using IR render is slower...so go figure! The only reason peps should even be here in the first place is; 1) They...

All, should get back to serious business of helping thread contributors and those wanting to do the hack..my bad for sidetracking! At least can post that VRAY works on more than 64 threads (very important for those who render in say C4D, Max, Maya, Houdini etc!) as that is potentially a...

Weeell those prices went up pretty fast! e5-2696 v3 are now 1100 USD to 1400 USD on ebay..Taobao crapping out on me at the moment..got mine for around USD 750 each, which I thought was a bit too much at the time, off ebay, but not having any Taobao experience, and + agent fees, just went for it...

Well so far as I know cannot unlock yet! V4! (as many have said already!) . And e5-2696 v3 prices are now 1100-1300 on ebay! But patience my friend, wait 3-4 years and they (v4) will be pretty much worthless! So patience, my friend...regardless, even with v3 processors you're looking at a...

More a BF4/BF1 FPS player..but yeah. Looking forward to the hack tho, rendering on those beasts for the first time was awesome (at stock! 2.78!)..happy iff I can make 3.1 ghz...of course bricking my setup would..wow that would really suck! around 3.5k usd straight down the toilet! 1k just in...

Uhhm am embarassed to say sitting on one gtx 770 4gb and still playing 1080p 144hz...guess all them cpu's ate up the gaming budget! (ok have 3x! e5-2696 v3), still the old 2x e5-2665 v1, and around 35 TB hdd of storage..can't get too paranoid about backup! Have a proper ips uhd monitor for work...

Bit off topic, but before this rig (ASRock EP2C612 WS) I had the good ol z9pe-d8 WS with 2x ES (B0) 2665...rocked at the time. But now with 2x 18 cores/72 threads (e5-2696 v3) a lot of my programs were defaulting to one processor, due to the windows processor group max 64 thread count BS. Well...

Have 2x h80i's so should be ok. Stable so far? Gonna wait until back from travels (Feb) and have some backup BIOS chips ordered from Netherlands, can't risk main pc at moment. What method worked best for you? And link to the v3x2_50_39_vcc? About 60% through reading the thread for 4th time, but...

Thanks anyway, struggling though it! Happy modding! Nice avatar btw ;)

See that, saw in the ftp you linked he had the v3x2 efi shell. Question is which of all the .ffs that are listed there I'm trying to 'inject"? . Still working through the whole thread for the nth time, at about page 14. Thanks 'heaps' as the aussies would say for the help! Looks like some more...

Roger that, would like to know as well before committing...

Uhhm, any idea which one I'm supposed to use? Go from 0 to 120. Starting to become a pretty long there thread here, is the post about it towards the back? Thanks for the help! :) EDIT: see these are the ffs files, I assume I'm safe still with the v3.efi shell? Sorry not a linux or vmware...

Great thanks for heads up..was about to use the original v3.efi.

Is this still an issue? Just about to flash same mobo with 2x e5-2696 v3. Will keep ploughing through thread...using same methodology as you.
