Xeon E5 series 1.25x and 1.66x multiplier?

[AdamK47]

Oh, me me me! So, you weren't able to overclock the CPU at all?

Update - the Asus board posted but ignored the forced 1.25x and the Gigabyte board refused to post.

evga, asus and gigabyte refuse to answer me.

In other news - anyone want a cool running 8-core Xeon with 20mb cache and ECC support for an X79 board?

No sales outside of FS/FT, no sales of ES components.
Consider yourself warned.

Gillbot, that wasn't a serious offer - they aren't for sale!

AdamK, you can force it to run at a higher multiplier within the turbo limits. And the fsb can be taken up to ~108mhz just like a normal SB, but nothing else.

Understandable, just wanted to be sure the message was clear for anyone that may pop in here and see that comment.

Thats probably the one I will get in my new mac pro...

Funny how these Xeons are now less than $70 on Ebay. Crazy how my last post was 11 years ago. Im alive and doing fine, thank you very much.

Yea the price of these xeons are dirt cheap. I have a asus p9x79 deluxe could someone confirm the e5-2670 v1 works in this board or is it just v2?

Should work fine. I have a 1650, 1660, 2650, 2670 all v1 and all work fine in my x79 deluxe.

Although if you do any gaming I would advise against the 2650/2670 because of the poor single threaded performance. The 1650/60 can equal or surpass the 2670 when overclocked to ~4ghz and have much better single threaded performance, and an average 1650 will clock to around 4.5ghz at safe volts. 1650 (3930k)'s now go for as low as $120 and 1660(3960x)'s go for as low as $180.

Where the 2670's really shine is in a dual config.
