You have tested them exactly with gigabyte x58 ud5?
Thnx for the answer.
Thnx for the answer.
Many others have, just Google search for both names..
X5650 onwards.. just make sure your using the last available bios.
A quick google also confirms the X5650 will work on early REV1 UD5 boards also do you know what revision your board is ?

You should be fine anyway
Just look one page back. at my post.
Running a 5670 @ 4.2Ghz 6x2 = 12GB
On my GA ex58 UD5 Rev1 i also have a MSI GTX 950 since im not a big gamer!

I'm running two rigs with EX58-UD5 / X5650 combos. One with 24GB (6x4GB) and one with 16GB (2x8GB) RAM. Both running BIOS F13 and working perfectly

thnx you all.
Also my xmp profile for 1600 ram make my qpi/vtt voltage 1.315.
for my i7 960 is ok, xeons have a problem with it?
Thnx again.

Just grabbed a X5660 to replace my 920 and so far at stock im happy, got it for £55.
Its so much cooler than the i7, idle sits at about 17c-24c using my Noctua D14 which is insane since my i7 was sitting at 45-50c.
Is it rather easy to get a small overclock on these? I dont need the crazy clocks some people need but was thinking maybe 3.4ghz as a start.
Also im running it on a Gigabyte UD5 rev 1 on the latest bios.

Just go straight in at 4ghz, it'll do that easily.
I'll second that. I couldn't get past 3.8Ghz on my 920 but my x5650 went to 4Ghz and in doing so I didn't have one failure as I stepped up. I'm pretty sure I could go easily to 4.4 but stopped at 4 as it's as much as I want / need and it's so stable.
My observations on temp are the same. I'm sitting at 19 degrees 20 mins after booting with one core @ 9.
I understand it will do 4ghz but tbh I just dont need it and would prefer cooler temps, longer life and cheaper running costs.
Is there a sort of rough guide hidden in this thread on how to get a modest 300-500mhz overclock on these chips?
Guys anyone using an asus board tell me what the qpi/dram voltage they are using ? or any idea what it should be i currently have it @ 1.3v
Have a search through the thread for some of my posts, I've a few bios screenshots for an asus p6t.
Considering one of these CPUs for a home server. What Motherboard do people recommend - cheaper the better !
There are some cheapish x58 server boards on the bay...No overclocking but fine for a server...
TBH
There are now lower power cpu's for a server build for home...The xeon is really a cheap upgrade path for people already on X58
