Hey guys, curious I'm looking on ebay and noticing that the T5810(which i am using) supports Xeon e-5 v4 cpus, is this true? i can use v4 cpu's?

Make sure you have your BIOS fully updated, but yes the T5810 will take any Xeon V4 you want to give it.

Thanks, bios is the latest A34

Then you are good to go! What were you thinking of upgrading too?

And yes... my new toy for the Sabertooth X79 just arrived... View attachment 235378

I'd like to get my hands on a 2011 platform, but haven't been able to stumble upon the right deal. Most of my old Intel stuff comes from the IT surplus auction at work, but nothing 2011-based has ever shown up.

Doing abit of testing since then 0x0a error popped up last night which points toward dram/uncore unstable bumped the qpi voltage one notch. Since the overclock is at 4.25ghz @ 1.272v with turbo enabled bclk is at 170. Also bumped up pcie freq to 103 noticing the gameplay is a lot smoother. Bumped up other voltages except vcore and dram. Trying to narrow down once in a while bsod. Since it seems to hold up good since

Turned out I had to bump up the dram voltage from 1.60v to 1.62v which I think cleared up the 0x0a error

So I have a question for everyone. Has anyone used a modded X5470/X5460/X5450 in a Lenovo Socket 775 PC? In standard DIY motherboards they work fine but OEM systems can be different.

I'd welcome any input or experiences on the subject.

That looks like the thinkcentre pc. Could be possible to get the xeon chip to work but don't know for sure do you have any link of it

 

[lexluthermiester]

That looks like the thinkcentre pc.

It is. Model M58P Type 6137-A2U. It's a DDR3 type board and can take the Q9650. I also have a concern about the wattage(120w vs 95w).

do you have any link of it

Like from Lenovo? Yeah, already visited and the documentation didn't show anything Xeon related.

desktops and all in ones :: thinkcentre m series desktops :: thinkcentre m58p :: 6137 :: 6137a2u - Lenovo Support US

pcsupport.lenovo.com

On page 371 of the Manual(here) is shows the Q9650 being supported, along with the rest of the Q9xx0 models in the same list. This suggests the presence of the Xeon microcode in the system bios, but does not guarantee it. Thus me asking if anyone has tried.

The thing is to get the bios file and extract it or possibility of reading it using a software so it could give an idea if it needs the microcode or already have it. This is usually my guess.

Second thing is if the board chipset is q45 it will not work with Xeon chips as it wired differently. Could work with x3363 but that about it from my searches

Just had a look at the bios it looks like it does have the microcodes for the xeon chips which are 1067A, 10676 and 10677 it a matter of updating the bios and testing the xeon chips which I think it the 775 socket board so it should work without a hitch

Another thing the website delidded.com that had the list and other things is gone can't find the site anywhere

There's a good resource for the 775-to-771 Xeon mod at overclockers.net.

So those are for the actual 775 Xeons then? That my guess. The X33** series very likely. This is a workstation PC so that would make sense.

I knew about that thread and looked through it. Didn't see anything specific to Lenovo systems though. However it is a BIG damn thread and I haven't been able to get through all of it..

Did they make 775 Xeons? I thought they were all 771.

EDIT: They sure did. The X3000 models, at least. Didn't immediately find others browsing ARK.

Hi there!
I registered mostly to ask a question, if someone can help me. Sorry if something similar has already been discussed and I didn't see it.

I got myself an old Asus P6T SE, running a Xeon X5650, on 18GB RAM (3x2GB + 3x4GB), and I was wondering if I could upgrade the RAM to 6x8GB. Since the RAM controller in on the CPU, and it supports more RAM, I'd like to give it a try. Thing is, I don't want to order 6 sticks and find out they won't work at all...
The RAM sticks I was going to get (not many choices at the moment) was: G.Skill NT 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3-1333 CL9.
From what I could find online, it's probably this: https://www.gskill.com/specification/165/186/1532583620/F3-10600CL9S-8GBNT-Specification

Does anyone know if these may work or not?
Thanks in advance.

Hi mate,
Yes, X58s with Xeons supports up to 48GB of RAM. You could also try DDR3 @ 1600 very easily...

Probably it would work as the maximum supported amount of the motherboards back then was limited to the capacity of the modules available back then. And with Xeons there isn't that 24GB limit like with the i7 series.

Hey...First of all Welcome......As I remember I was using on my X58(Asus/p6x58d premium)3x8+3x2gb(total 30Gb) but I am 99% sure that 6x8Gb will work without the problem 'tho I can't be sure if that works on all motherboards.....and yeah X58 could be tricky with certain ram modules.....

 

[Mr.Scott]

No official support for 8 gig sticks.
Max board official support is 24 gig. 6 x 4 gig

 

[Abilio_KID]

Thanks. I was trying to get some used sticks online, near my location, but I could only find 2GB or 4GB, ocasionally a single 8GB here and there. To be honest, the prices people ask for used stuff is just sad. May aswell buy new.
Maybe I'll order 3 sticks to test them out.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Maybe I'll order 3 sticks to test them out.

Do this, then if they work, which is possible, you can then order another kit or be happy with 3x8GB + 3x4GB, which equals 36GB, a very solid amount of RAM. Like MrScott said, 8GB DIMM are not officially supported, but a lot of people have been able to make them work.

I'm 99% sure that it's because 8GB sticks didn't exist back then so board manufacturers didn't mention that. Also the i7 900 series support max 24GB and probably they just went with that.

Yeah.. I've read many successes from online that people have got 48GB working just fine.

Xeon X5650; running stress test @ 4268MHz
Me; listening to The Prodigy and drinking beer

 

[Abilio_KID]

Just a little update about my RAM thing.
Sticks arrived a few minutes ago. I removed my old 3 Kingston 2GB sticks and replaced them with the new ones making it 3x4GB Kingston + 3x8GB G.Skill.
It was literally "Plug'n'Play"... I now have 36GB of RAM, from 2 different brands... Both BIOS and Windows detect it without any issue.
I don't think I may need any more RAM for the moment. Lets hope no problems show up later

Btw, I already have The Prodigy (gosh, I'm getting old), I just need the beer^^
