Pretty bummed out. I scored an Intel D5400XS (aka Skulltrail) off ebay from a good seller. But I can't get the board to post, it's stuck on post code 02 on the LED. I've looked through the manual and can't find anything on this code. Does anyone happen to have any experience with this board? I may just end up sending it back to the seller.

Have you tried setting the bios jumper to config?

I removed the jumper to reset the bios but I didn't move it to the config setting. I also removed the cmos battery hopefully to reset things but I still go the 02 post code. It would stay there indefinitely too, I let it go for about 20 min and it never posted

Edit* typo

I am not sure if the socket is fully compatible with v1 and v2 gen, it is listed as 2011 V3.

X79 only takes v1 and v2. X99 is needed for v3.

Okay I'm hunting one of these out.... there are oem 1681 v2 chips that are 10 core and v3 chips that are 12 core. F me... I want one or the other. I see whole boxes with them, but no single cpus.
Go!

Also the V3 are for a different platform I believe X99 so that wouldn't work too well on your X79

There is no e5-1681 v2. on X79, nothing better than E5-1680 v2.

If there is one, let me know! Lol.
 
Hey everyone been awhile i last posted here was busy lately was still tinkering with the asus p5q premium and xeon e5450 at the moment it running 4.33ghz @ 1.32v temp is good around 55c during games most demanding is resident evil 2 remake it runs but has stuttering issue i think it needs a patch to fix it. As for the fsb it 479 now. As a bonus i did manage to get the e5450 into 4.5ghz for a brief moment so at least i got my goal to get the overclock @ 4.33ghz if i get a watercooling kit it could do better :)
 
Here there are my two arctic freezer 33 installed on my S5520HC ; ok, just one is installed, the other one is only placed on the cpu. i added just 4 little washer to have a little more pressure on the cpu, because without those the heatsink could twist a bit; now with the washers is firmly secured on! I launch the aida64 stressbench for 10 minutes and the temps rise till 56°...not bad at all

 
Here the bios setting on asus p5q premium if there any adjustments needed just let me know :)

Have you returned this board, or still trying to get it to boot?
Do the LED indicator lights work on the board?
Is the RAM single sided or double sided?
Have you connected power to all 4 of the CPU 4 pin power connectors?

Fairly certain they sent it back as that's what they said they were going to do.

I did send the board back. Thank you for replying tho

All LEDs were on and fans spinning as far as I could tell
RAM was double sided I believe but I didn't really inspect since they had heatsinks on them
All power connectors were connected

Hello,

I am an enthusiastic of the Xeon cpu's, i am planning to build a computer around 2 x L5640 that i have ordered from ebay.

I would like to know what kind of mother board is recomended for these, i know that the socket needed are LGA1366, but i was looking on ebay and there are no too much of these on sale, and the ones found are over 160 usd.

i mean, the problem is not the price (too much), the problem is: To know what would fit perfectly with my babies.

If you have any comment, this will be trully appreciate.

Well if your plan is to go with the dual mobo socket for this Xeons and you think to do OC it will be very hard task to find something cheap,the absolute best choice is EVGA Classified Super Record 2 (SR-2) in my opinion but if you don´t want to do any OC you can probably find some "server" boards tho L5640 have low Clock speed so do not expect any miracle if you can´t OC them...GL
 
Try aliexpress that where i got the xeon e5450 as it came with the notch cut out and a perment adaptor on the pins not the plastic adaptor as it filmsy to get right as it cheaper. At the moment im currently testing for 4.43ghz @ 1.336v temp still look good it bouncing between 52c to 57c depending on load during resident evil 2 remake as the hottest core touch 57c around 85% to 95% cpu load in certain places
 
Here we are...finally all the hardware has arrived, and today I have installed everything

at first i have done some modifications to the case, a koolink stronghold that can handle E-ATx motherboard: but the S5520HC is a ssi eeb motherboard, and so some holes doesn't fit



after that the rest was easy; everything gone to the right place, and i also did a little bit of cable management (not so easy beacuse the psu is non modular)

EVGA SR-2 is the holy grail for dual LGA 1366 but they probably cost an arm and a leg these days. I'm running an Intel S5520HC for my rig and I would recommend it. I think Supermicro makes some good dual LGA 1366 boards too but I've never used them personally. Be warned though, most of these boards are large and probably won't fit in most cases.
 
That a hugh board to fit in that case jeez i wonder how the airflow is affected? Where the hard drive located as well. I have nzxt phantom 530 case even that could take that board but i would have remove the dvd and hard drive caddy just to squeeze in it in ha

As you can see from this image actually i have only one HD installed, an SSD drive mounted on the back of the motherboard

https://ibb.co/9pk4dQ8

I'll do some tests in these days, but the airflow is not bad; the cpu's temperatures are good (never over 60° on heavy full load like OCCT and aida 64 stress test); the gpu (a gtx 1050) the same, 55° max. the temperature of the IOH it's a little bit higher for me (68°) and the ram too (around 60°)
 
I have a similar setup to the above (nice rig btw) and my CPUs get to about 65-67c but my case has poor airflow from the front intake. I don't think the size of the board really affects it too much. As long as you have some decent coolers on the CPUs everything should be fine.
 
Is there one fan for intake and two fans for exhausting?

i noticed that the first cpu (the one close to exhaust fans) is 6/7° hootest than the other cpu; sounds normal, because a bit of hot air move to the first heatsink to the second one...maybe in the next week i'll try to rotate the heatsinks so they will blow hot air on the top of the case

Yes
