Hi, I have two Xeons socket 771. One is a 5120 and the other 5110. They are almost identical bar a minor difference in favor of the 5120 in frequency. Can both be used in the same motherboard?

No. They have to be the same CPU.

Thanks I thought that being the same CPU but having just a slight diff in frequency might have worked like diff ram tend to work
