I figured I'd ask about this as Anandtech doesn't seem to care about it or the fact that the Giogabyte X58 Extreme and EVGA X58/Classified have issue's with certain power supply's.
Anybody who has these or had them care to chime in and share anything you have learned, or issue's you are having with them? I have read over at the "E" forum that Intel does not certify the EVGA board for the W3540 Xeon CPU'S, so if you buy this combo and the CPU should die on you then your SOL as far as they are concerned.
Not trying to flame or bad mouth ANY COMPANY! but as we spend the money for this stuff we should be kept in the loop or atleast made aware of these issue's. Matter of fact I think the two company's I mentioned as some of the best hardware company's out there, and both have gone out of there way to make me a happy consumer. So props to both of you!!!!
I can not say the same for Intel, as they sell these chips know ing they will be over clocked and done things with that we should not do, but then they pull the rug out on us when we need there help. Let's face it, there products are the most expensive we buy, so If I buy a $600 cpu and it craps out on me cause I put it in a certain board then yeah I think I should get a replacement or money back.
Iggy me if you must, I am NOT trying to stir to pot merely help my fellow geeks out and maybe save them a few head aches along the way. So we work together to better everybody all the way around, and we learn stuff as well.
Regards!
