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