I think you know that this is the exactly same processor as the E8400. Therefore, whatever works for that will work for the Xeon. All P35 and 38 mobo's should work fine. Don't know about others.

Co-worker installed on on an Abit IP35-V board. I thought that the E3110's had the same CPU ID string as the E8400, but his system recognized it as an E3110. No problems so far.

Asus P5K-VM
G33 chipset
ID's it as Xeon E3110 with latest 0407 BIOS
OC'd to 3.8GHz

If you write E8400 on it with a permanent marker, it will run in any motherboard that supports the E8400. Seems to be no real reason why it's sold as a "Xeon." Maybe it doesn't have the same temp problems as the E8400? Anyone from Intel care to comment on this strange marketing strategy?

(Yes, there are Intel spies lurking here.)

I hear you need to do it with a #2 pencil. It's the "new" pencil trick.

:beer: :thumbsup:

EDIT
Didn't read down far enough...you may just have an old BIOS revision on your motherboard. Do you have any way to flash it and try the chip again? Otherwise contact abit customer support about the problem, they can probably help.

LOL, I love this post.

there were about 8 short posts totaling 17 sentences in this thread before this. hahahahahahah

depending on the size of your text and monitor resolution, in order to read the op's post and zap's post that you responded to you probably only missed 1 post by "toadeater":

I'm guessing it passed higher standards in QC?

Wafers are rarely perfect from one area to the other. Some chips just come out better than others by virtue of this fact.

My Asus IP35-E (bios 15) saw it right away as a Xeon E3110.
