Asus Rampage 3 formula support X56** Xeons

[jabjab90301]

I can't seem to find and information on support for X56** Xeons for my Asus Rampage 3 Formula. Anyone out there running a Xeon on a Rampage 3?

There is the "official" support which doesn't show the Xeons - but I'm running an ASUS P6TD right now as I type this with a Xeon W3570 and I also know my board supports the X56** Xeon as well. I had a Rampage ][ Extreme before this which did so I'd be real confident in saying your Rampage ]I[ Formula will.

Would be worth spending the extra 10 bucks to get a X 5660 or stick to 5650?

Not really.. You can run higher bclk on X5650 with less heat..
