DX58SO BIOS update?

[CanadianSuitcase]

Hey, I have been having second thoughts on my latest purchase and information is scarce so that's why im here, I currently have a i7 930 stock with a intel dx58so motherboard, yes I know not the best at all but I have purchased a x5675 xeon (on its way home) and going to be putting it in, the problem is that I don't know if A the motherboard doesn't support it or B I just need a BIOS update ive been looking around for about a week but no definite answer(like the intel website for the motherboard doesn't show x56 but people have done it because its lga1366). My rig works fine everything I have added was compatible, its just that a 3ghz boost clock and 4 cores doesn't do that well for gaming or upcoming architectural designs (college next year).Any feed back would be amazing or else I will come back with results(hopefully good ones).PS open to new mobo if 100% required.

PC specs (the important)

Well it seems that intel has discontinued the bios updates straight from their websites (pretty weird could have left just the most recent) but I found driver scape did the update for my specific motherboard and os and in theory everything should be fine for the xeon hopefully. Will definitely post back when the swap is complete and maybe functional fingers crossed.

Well what happened next ? I currently have dx58so mobo and i7 930 and i wanna try x5675 processor in my mobo.

Hi Guys, 

Any update on that story? I've just bought this motherboard and have the same issue, X5670 is on its way to me but I don't know if my bios will recognise this processor. I've attached the version of my bios, can't even check anywhere whether it's the latest one as Intel deleted everything from their site (shame on you Intel).
