Which 980's did you eventually go for? I remember posting in your thread in gpu section. Id probably say that the p6t dlx is the best board ive used for sli, (and ive owned quite a few sli boards).

I'm getting a few random crashes, and I've no idea what bios settings to tweak so anybody fancy posting up their settings would be great.
Maybe give some of us a chance to see what different people are running to keep their systems stable.

Been wondering if a xeon would run in my x58 P6T DLX 12GB 3X4GB for WCG.
A 930 running at 4.0GHz could some one recommend which one to use, also it would be H2o cooled.

I run 2x 970 in x8/x8 PCIe 2.0 and it's fine. I couldn't notice a difference from x16/x16. I moved them for cooling reasons.
Max QPI voltage is 1.35 but if you've only one set of three channel mem you won't go near it.
200x22 1.375v core / 1.25v QPI here. 1.66 DRAM, CPU PLL boosted slightly and everything else stock. IOH at stock but used to run 1.28v on the 920, not sure why but it seemed to survive the last five years.
I also have LLC on level 1.

Got an x5660 coming in the mail...
Am wanting to change from 6GB to 12GB of RAM though, but finding a 12GB (3x4) kit seems hard.
What are you guys using? The corsair vengeance 3x4gb 1600 seems like a good option?
Will be OCing the cpu to 4ghz if that makes any difference to Ram choice

I know most people will be wanting to buy a hex to clock the balls off it but I thought I would throw this out there as motherboards are seriously hard to get hold of now.
Means running stock but 6 cores are 6 cores right
Anyway, on a well known auction site there is a seller with seemingly millions of supermicro 1366 server/workstation boards for relatively cheap.
Only problem is that they are designed for rack cases and as such the expansion slots are intended to be used with a riser.
That behind the 16x slot is a 8x slot.
Sadly it blocks the retaining lug on a pci-e slot
But its a bit of a blessing really as it reduces the boards value and presumably is the reason they are being flogged.
Quick buzz with a small drill bit later
All sorted!
Seem quite nice boards, no sound so will need PCI card (needs to be a modern 3.3v compatible one with 2 slots in it) and the onboard VGA is useless.
Might not be any interest but I thought it was a bit of fun as the xeon 1366 chips are peanuts.

How much?
I think my loaned out Alienware hex rig needs a new board. Not interested in overclocking.

To be honest I went from 6Gb triple channel to 8Gb dual channel and if someone else had of changed the ram over I would have never known, but obviously because I changed it myself I knew.
Any performance difference would only show up in benchmarks.
Just the 3x2gb that I've always had with this. I thinks hats why I get away with low QPI.
I think 6x 2gb would definately need the QPI moving up

With 6x2 gb of corsair vengeance, iirc i needed 1.31 on qpi with a 920. Later switched to a kingston hyperx 3x4gb kit that ran on 1.300 qpi.
I'm running 1.35 vcore and have tested at 1.35 v on the QPI last night...
I'm thinking now I push up the vcore.....
I'm happy with 4ghz....24/7 but I'm running triple channel 12gb ....
I'm trying to ascertain wether more vcore is needed or QPI.... 12gb ram all slots filled is tricky IMO....

Leaving 3 slots free? Filling all slots seems to be tricky for me...

Lowering PLL was another setting that helped stabilise my oc, 1.84 iirc. Yep, 3 slots free with the kingston kit.
