The error code is the same no matter which slot. I tried the first 3 slots.

You sure ECC RAM is gonna work with that board?

It actually depends on CPU rather than mobo. If CPU supports it, it will , since ECC or not, RAM will be electronically compatible.

Slots 1-3-5 are the 2nd, 4th and 6th slot, looking left to right.

Maybe needs a bios upgrade.

Maybe needs a bios upgrade.

i know it does, it works with 920

 

[FilipM]

Sweet, go on then

 

[lyra]

i had one of them for a little while but my server didnt like it. it only liked max base speeds of 3.2 so thats why i have the x5672. fucking ebay seller never game me a refund. they jsut said it never showed up and paypal didn't help me out either.

should be a damn good processor

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Frustrating news.

My pal and his brother have hunted high and low for the i7 920. They managed to find a stack of well thumbed "Gentlemans' " magazines under the bed but no CPU. So, i have splashed out the princely sum of £ 4,00 ( free P & P) for W3520 which I am hoping will work with the current BIOS ...............we will have some overclocking fun and see where we go from there.

we will see if we can grab the UK record for R 15 which currently stands at 4.90 ghz

50 pence a thread for quality Intel silicon ............cool.

 

[FilipM]

I had 752CB with 4.55GHz on my W3520, didn't bother going higher. 4.55GHz bench stable at 1.36-1.37V it was I think...Awesome clocker, but ran hot.

Atleast I think it was 752...you gonna make me put it back again and clock it


PS. I ordered a 1080Ti FE. Let's see how much (if any) of a bottleneck the X5660 is. My 1060 overclocked is right up there on superposition, never dipped below 99% GPU usage.

Wanted to chime in, board has so many feature's..........

Well Caps it's a start but where is the 5 GHz overclock you promised though?

thats a different chip and i dont know if i will find a bios to make that one work either. I needed something to put in there to flash the BIOS and this chip was only £ 4.00


i set it at 3.80ghz as a comparison for that other thread. I havent fiddled much with it yet, my priority is getting it doing at least something so my son can start using it.

 

[alucasa]

Bloomfield, eh.

Sure brings back memories... Actually, I don't recall much. Sorry.

Anyhow, all salute at Captain Badger at Royal Welsh Xeoneers platoon 11.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I like it so far. The display code is "FF" it stands for Fuckin Fantastic

 

[biffzinker]

Really Caps? Going for that retro feel in this age of SSDs, and your still using a HDD? Do I need to send a SSD your way?

 

[jboydgolfer]

I haven't seen a LAN party splash screen in the better part of a decade if not longer(aside from @CAPSLOCKSTUCK posts). iirc, the lp board i recall had 3 ram slots

My son never complains about it. I could never go back, its painful.

6 slots.

i really enjoyed seeing the DFI splash screen.........

 

[alucasa]

The last DFI mobo I had was way back in Sandy era, I think. It was an ITX motherboard. Since then they vanished like one of my ex-girlfriends.

 

[Gasaraki]

Is anyone here running a 1366 Xeon at 5.0ghz ?

No. that's crazy.

 

[jboydgolfer]

I had a roommate many many years ago who was complaining about his computers performance ,so i agreed to take a look at it.it was a definite sleeper PC. He had no idea what he had. He just wanted to get rid of it , and wanted me to build him a new one . He ended up going with a 2600 K, custom loop, I believe it was a LAN boy case. I tried to convince him to keep the old PC but he destroyed it when I was away

 

[Gasaraki]

I'm running a ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution, X5675 @4.4GHz., MyDigitalSSD BPX M.2. Boot SSD. I've been running the board since it came out. I've had the i7-920 in it, the i7-960 and now the Xeon. I put the Xeon in last year.

If my memories are serving me right, those Lanboy case wasn't cheap. Wasn't it a mATX case though?

DFI appears to be alive just more focused on the industrial instead of the consumer market.

Looking at the website, I think they are done for consumer market. Their latest motherboard is for Haswell.

Makes me wonder what made them withdraw.

 

[biffzinker]

I see some boards for Skylake to Kabylake.

Here's one for A 7th Gen Intel CPU: http://www.dfi.com/products/product.html?productId=10082
