Hehehe... I mean I already have their albums. I got enough music (from many bands aswell) that I simply let my music player running the whole time I'm on PC (and I work from home) with random tracks. And it can last for months before I have to shuffle the playlist again, lol.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Which track? I'll listen Firestarter!

I am the fire starter, twisted fire starter...
I am the fire starter, f*$king instigator!

I still remember when I heard that first time in Wipeout 2097.. damn I miss the 90s.

That's like E6550, I'm interested how it overclocks

Oh it doesn't or at least this one doesn't - it's hot as a furnace at stock: needs the thick cooler with a copper core. 2.33GHz is all she wrote.

Weird, everything under 3GHz with any C2D based CPU should be illegal..

Fire Figher song was the formula one intro song back in the early 2000 if I am correct
Turned out that it was featured on RTE One tv in Ireland between 1997 to 2000

I have an asus rampage 4 extreme with a xeon e5-2697v2 my doubt is ddr3 ecc 16gb sticks would work on it?

As far as i know 100% they will not work. You 'll need a WS board... like P9X79 WS or Z9PE-D8 WS or Supermicro models...

ECC? Yes. ECC Registered DIMMs(as shown in photo)? No.. Not on that board anyway. The 2697V2 can handle it fine, but that ASUS board is a consumer board ans is not configured for ECC Reg DIMMs.

this motherboard using x79 or c602 chipset? suddenly it is not x79 but c602 maybe that's why it worked RDIMM we need to confirm this
but if it is x79 like in rampage then there is a chance it will work here too

Asrock X79 Extreme6 work RDIMM 8 sticks of 16gb each total 128gb​

Hmmm interesting......but are you sure is registered ECC maybe is unbuffered ECC?

I seem to remember the old nehalem xeons on 1156 could work with registered dimms on some consumer motherboards, I wonder if it is because socket 2011 and 1156 both had chipsets that used unbuffered and registered dimms, so the hardware was technically present in the CPUs and board? The Xeon and ECC features were rarely mentioned back then, even on the CPU support page.

The newer ddr4 xeons based on consumer cpus don't have chipsets that support registered dimms anymore, the hedt stuff is completely separate.

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.

I vaguely remember building a Lenovo M58p, I think it was...and wasn't able to get a modded 771 Xeon to work in it. QX6700 was what I ended up getting, I think...or maybe it was just a tape modded Q6600. This was quite a few years ago now and my memory hasn't been the same since I was hit by a car. During that time though, I was putting modded Xeons in everything, so I am nearly positive it didn't work, for whatever reason. I still have a couple of X5450 sitting around...if someone here wants them, PM and I'll probably send 'em to you. They probably don't have the stickers though.

EDIT - nevermind, that was very likely due to chipset...and 65nm <1066 Xeons weren't worth it over a tape modded Q6600 / Q6700 on the Q45 chipset. Are you having issues running one? What system(s)?

It also depends on BIOS support.

I appreciate the response, but I already bought a Q9550 for it.

@lexluthermiester
a possible solution for the boards to support more memory, replace the bios module that controls this by some other bios, extract from asrock extreme 6 the module "IvtQpiandMrcInit" P32 IMAGE SECTION gave 420kb and from my asus rampage 4 extreme the same module of 320kb is replaced and generate new bios and rewrite maybe the motherboard supports more memories what do you think?

taking the same pe32 module from supermicro x9sra that supports Up

• Up to 512GB DDR3 ECC LRDIMM
• Up to 256GB DDR3 ECC RDIMM
• Up to 64GB DDR3 ECC/non-ECC UDIMM

8x DIMM slots from 447 kb little more than asrock I suppose more types of memory is supported if you can put this module in the rampage bios theoretically it would support the same modules as supermicro x9sra https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/xeon/c600/x9sra.cfm

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?

Running a e5-1650v4 here!

 

[Edwired]

Hey guys had a funky moment with the x5675 and asus p6x58d-e as it was powering on then shutting off straight away (This was repeatable when I press the power button) since it was showing signs of the cpu or the vrm have giving up till I checked inside the case nothing was touching anything no burnt cables. It just started to do that when I added two more hard drives to the marvell sata port for testing purpose (never did raid set up before). Then decided to unplug everything blew out any dust bunnies then lastly I pressed the power button it started to work like nothing happened. Can't afford to start all over again on replacing computer parts

 

[1freedude]

My Sabertooth does that sometimes. It takes a few tries to post. I narrowed it down to a messed up ram stick.

 

[Mr.Scott]

Memory training. Turn it off.

 

[Edwired]

There's no option to turn off memory training in the bios

 

[Mr.Scott]

That sucks.

 

[Edwired]

This is what I am getting with two exact samsung hard drives that came out of the broken xbox one in RAID 0 with super mode enabled on the Asus P6X58D-E what surprised me is the buffer read is off the scale I even doubled checked with the task manager that peaked at 1.9gbps

Ran into abit of a snag while updating the driver for Marvell it just cause blackscreen of death it fixable by going back in the restore point. Looks like I have to figure out why the driver decided to disappear during the update unless the driver have to be installed first before the hard drives get connected for it to get working again.
