Hi all,

Does anyone know if a X5675 will work on a GA-X58-UD5. It's not on Gigabyte's support list but I'm not sure if that's because that haven't updated it or not. It's LGA-1366, but I'm guessing that doesn't mean it's definitely compatible.

I've searched for answers but can't find anyone using this combination. I want to because I have the mobo and can get the X5675 cheap from a friend.

Thanks!
 
It doesn't look like it.

The only motherboards Intel list the X5675 as being compatible with are their server boards.

They don't list any of their X58 boards as compatible.
 
I've seen an X5650 run on an ASUS X58 board (think it was the Rampage II). Not sure about gigabytes though...

But the 950 is only quad core, the X5675 is a hex-core. Cheap is £300, but you also need to consider the quality of the X5675 (cache etc). I'm also confident I could OC it to 3.6-4.0GHz quite easily. I'm basically looking for a sub £350 way to get a hex-core that will run at around 4GHz. I do a lot of multi-threaded video debayering (RED) and my 3.8GHz Quad i7 isn't hacking it (-:
 
I know this thread is kinda dead , but for anyone tryingto find out ,I successfully run a Xeon X5675 on a Gigabyte X58A-UD7 rev.2.0 . I also had E5620 runnining on UD3 , so UD5 should work too . Just update to bios that runs X990 first . ;-)
 
Hi guys,

I've recently bought a X5670 and I have the Gigabyte X58-UD5 Rev1.0 (Bios F13) too. Currently (until the Xeon reaches) I run an i7-950 @ stable 4,025 GHz (see signature). Are there suggestions to reach 4-4,2 GHz on the X5670?

Best regards,

Bclk 200
cpu multi 21 if bclk won't do 200 you can always lower it then raise cup multi, should go up to 24.
Vcore 1.3-1.35
Qpi voltage 1.25-1.35 depending on how high you try to push ram, over 1.35 is supposed to be dangerous on westmere
Uclk can be set to x2 ram speed on westmere and can even go a little higher but may cause instability, usually starts getting unstable over 3600 so if your using fast ram like 2000 or so you can always drop uclk to 3200-3600
Qpi set to the lowest setting but not slow mode if you have that option
Loadline calibration enable
Spread spectrum disable

Even though your gaining 2 cores over the i7 950 you will find that the Xeon runs a lot cooler about 10-15c and can overclock much higher. I was running 4.4ghz at 1.39vcore on mine and it would only hit 70c in stress test and I only had a hyper evo 212 it broke 1k in cinebench r15 which is excellent for a 10 year old cpu.
Had a lot of fun overclocking on x58 and is still one of my favourite platforms.
 
Nice and big thanks. My RAM is 1600 MHz but it runs only on 1050 because I didn't know, that I must OC the QPI voltage. Clocking the RAM much higher than 1600 MHz isn't absolutely neccessary for me. Any suggestions to run the UCLK and QPI Voltage low/stable @ ~1600 RAM and ~4,1 CPU (its enough personally, don't want to reach the highest OC-regions)?! Whats better, higher multi/lower BCLK or vice versa?

Greetings,

To run the ram at 1600 you would ether need 160 or 200 bclk with the ram multi at x10 or x8 at 160 even with a 24 multi on the cpu your cpu would only reach 3840 so going 200 bclk is better as it gives you 1600'ram and 4ghz or 4.2ghz cpu with multi at x20 or x21. If you are not bothered about running the ram at exactly 1600 then you could go bclk 186 with cpu multi at 22 for 4.1ghz and x8 ram multi would give 1488 ram speed. With qpi voltage I would start around 1.3 and work it down until it's unstable then raise it by 2 notches.
 
There is an option in the bios to set it on xmp this will automatically set your RAM to 1600.

Though the above option will give you the best results for the OC you want.
