So I've just flashed the P6T SE with a P6T WS Pro bios and so far it looks like it's cured the cold boot issue I had.

Interesting can you email me the bios please ?

Had anyone tried the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R rev 1 board with these chips?
I have one running a i930 and would be interested in upgrading to a X5570 but am unable to find if my board will run these. Gigabyte site does not list these Xeons as compatible.

I'm using a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R rev 2 so I don't see why your V1 wont.

Completely different layout boards tho, think the rev 1.0's have 4 ram slots or something whacky.

Give it a try, if there is noute on the net.

Does it list the 980/990x ?

Or the 970?

If it does there's a good chance it will work

Yes, it supports the B1 130w versions of the 970/980X/990X Gulftown CPUs.
Not sure if Westmere will be supported though.

Dude, Gulftown *is* Westmere.

Go back a few pages and look at the blueprints for the socket that I uploaded. The only difference between the two chips is that one (the Xeon) has pin outs for a second QPI.

NM, core tech, cores etc they are identical.

Thanks, have taken a punt on an X5670!

You can always return it so there's no major risk other than about a fiver for return postage

Hi mate, the bios is on the asus site:

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket1366/P6T_WS_PRO/BIOS/P6T-WS-ASUS-PRO-1205.zip

Then you need afudos229es

http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=168923&d=1383494180

The dos command to flash is:
afudos /iP6T-WS-ASUS-PRO-1205.ROM /pbnc /n

Settings I'm using:

Everything else memory timing wise is auto. Touch wood it's still cold booting fine, now I just need to invest in some decent cooling!

What are your auto volts at 4GHz in CPUz under load?

1.302v since the bios flash using extreme on intel burn test. With the P6T SE bios I had it at 1.320v to get it stable.

ferret face · 8 Oct 2014 at 23:15

Can anyone help with a problem please.

I've clocked my x5650 to 4.1ghz at 1.28 vcore but when using HWmonitor during gaming i am seeing the voltage spike up to 1.7 volts. It doesn't do this in IBT or Prime95, it only goes up to 1.303 volts and is stable for 5hrs.

Can this be right and if so how do i set my cpu voltage to not go over a certain voltage? i have manually set the voltage 1.28 so there must be some other setting that is auto changing the voltage.

Help!

See what CPUz reports instead.

Cheers mate, I'm still cooler shopping but I'm limited to a height of 16cm and I've not had good experiences with the last two aio's I had, h55 and h80. Considering sacking the case offl, it's shockingly bad for cooler options unless I get creative with the dremel and move the hdd cage back a few cm so I can get a 240mm rad in there. Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 wtf was I thinking, oh yeah £38 haha

I've heard nothing but bad of Corsair's lower priced products. My lady and I both got Raptor mice for £16 each. Mine lasted about a week, then the scroll wheel stopped working and just jerked the web page. A month in hers snapped off at the USB socket.

Must say it's put me off for life tbh. My mate had a 01 and said it was utterly lousy for managing cables.

Gotta admit I don't have any working corsair products.............all the H series all in one water coolers pumps broke on H60 H80 H90 I think were the numbers. Corsair usb stick is the only one that no longer works for no apparent reason. The other cheap ones work ok still. Corsair Ram is the only stuff I've ever had to RMA and that was the super fast DDR2 stuff that was £400 for a pair........My corsair HX1000 exploded with smoke and tripped the power too and took out a gpu.

I've not had any other hardware fail in 15 years only corsair. Actually thats a lie the maxtor diamondmax 9s were rubbish.

cheers but i cant find a way for cpuz to log the highest cpu voltage while i'm playing, it only seems to show the current value. The voltage spikes happen at random. ive tried the "save report" option but it only gives me the current value too. any ideas?

cheers

It is awful for cables, the stupid thing is it's got cut-outs for all the cables but no room between the side panel and the motherboard tray, it's so tight that once you get just the atx power cable there it starts bulging as your mate no doubt discovered. Theres even a cutout for the p4 power but it surfaces beneath the motherboard right next to a standoff :confused:

I'm sure I read somewhere recently that it's a budget manufacturers case rebadged.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I've sorted my temp issues with the use of some 1500 and 200 grit sand paper, I think the cpu ihs was concave because the temps have decreased massively from 84c to 71c under intel burn and when sanding the centre of the ihs remained nickel until last.

Now can anyone tell me why running standard instead of max on ibt gives me higher tempratures?
