Posted January 25, 2019 Anyone else have any experience with dual socket Supermicro boards? I've got a Supermicro x8dal-i with dual E5530's (with dual 5675's on their way) and i seem to have a stuttering issue in most games as well as the windows desktop. I've done some research and testing and it seems to be a problem with having both cpus installed. When i removed one the system seems to be cured of the stutter as well as get better fps in games. I'm unsure if its just bios settings or something else as i have a lack of experience with there boards. I'm running the latest bios for this board as well as drivers.

Posted January 26, 2019 Both disabling hyperthreading and setting affinity hasn't made a difference in preformance. However I did install Ubuntu mate 18.04 and it doesn't seem to have the same lag.

Posted January 28, 2019 Author Barring this being a scam, I just scored an EVGA X58 SLI for $89 vs the $235-385 the others are. https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-X58-Classified-Intel-LGA-1366-Motherboard-141-BL-E761-A1/143106717422?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 https://www.evga.com/articles/00447/ It's the E761 without the NF200 chip but I'm not likely to need the PCIe lanes anyways and it should be an OC champ.

Posted February 3, 2019 So, I'm having issues with installing windows 7 from a usb. Every time it finishes loading and gets through the windows 7 splash screen, I get a BSOD with a stop code. MOBO: MSI X58 Bigbang-xPower CPU: Intel Xeon X5675 Ram: 16GB (2x4 + 4x2) DDR3 1333mhz Samsung GPU: Radeon HD R7 240 SSD: 60GB Patriot Flare I know the ram, ssd and gpu all work just fine since they were in other working machines previously and pulled for testing and setting up this board. I'm thinking its just some sort of setting that I'm not toggling or possibly that X58 doesn't like USB installers. I've used the same usb to install windows 7 on older LGA775 boards so I don't know what's up here. Zando Bob was able to get to work just fine with Windows 10 so I know the board and processor also work so I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have both Sata controllers set to AHCI, I turned off overspeed protection and Execute bit. Also disable the 2.2TB infinity thing. Edit: Fixed it. I threw in a X5650 and I'm currently installing windows. I'll get drivers installed then try the X5675 again to see if its just an installation issue or a support issue.

Posted February 4, 2019 Reciently my x5680 started to degrade. It becomes voltage hungry and unstable with sudden unpredictable freezes, sometime it refuses to boot and so on or it is the mobo is getting old. Something is slowly dying in that rig . It is feasible to get a "new" CPU but i decided to move on. Due to the fact that my coffee lake motherboard died I have a temperary free i7 8700k and 16GB of DDR3. After watching some videos on youtube I've figured out that it is doeble to pair z170 boards with the coffee lake CPU. After searching ebay and other second hand optiond I found a brand new Asus Maximus viii motherboard for $100US delivered to my door. so I've ordered it. It is a gamble but there is always a back up plan (7700K are not that expensive) CoffeeLake build: CPU: i7 8700K OC 5.0 gHz, Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Hero (Z170), RAM: 32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200 mHz, GPU: Asus Strix OC gtx 1080ti, Storage: Samsung 950pro 500gb, samsung 860evo 500gb, 2x2Tb + 6Tb HDD,Case: Lian Li PC O11 dynamic, Cooling: Very custom loop.

If you can get a decent overclocking board then you should get pretty good performance out of it for most games. AFAIK it's rare for an X56xx xeon to not hit at least 4.2GHz with proper cooling and a solid mobo, most can hit 4.5Ghz. I ran my X5675 at 4.41 on an ASUS Rampage III Formula (which @Troika has now, along with the MSI board) with my 1080 Ti at 1080p and it kept up pretty well in everything but Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Even there I get about 35-45fps but the frametimes are solid so it's still pretty smooth and perfectly playable. 18 hours ago, Troika said: Edit: Fixed it. I threw in a X5650 and I'm currently installing windows. I'll get drivers installed then try the X5675 again to see if its just an installation issue or a support issue. Awesome! Though that's weird the X5675 doesn't want to play nice with that mobo, it works fine in the Rampage board and support wise I don't see why a mobo would work with the X5650 but not the X5675. IIRC I updated the BIOS to the latest version while I had the i7 in it, since most of these boards won't support a 6 core if they have an old BIOS.

Posted February 5, 2019 Hi all. i want to ask to everyone who know about this. this is my history. i have an old but old rig rigth now. mobo: Asus Striker II Extreme Processor: Core 2 Quad Q8300 OC 3.0 GHZ Ram: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHZ Corsair H80 Water cooling close loop Video: EVGA GTX 960 SSC ACX 2.0+ PSU: Cooler Master 550W ATX 1x 300GB wester digital caviar HDD 1x samsung 1.5tb HDD samsung LED full hd 24'' monitor. i want to upgrade for something economically so i searched for an dell optiplex but after seaching a lot discoverd the Xeon X56xx processor and see many videos with good reviews. so i go to ebay and found an asus p6t Non deluxe non se just normal. for 50$ in good condition and with all accesories and box so i bougth it after i bougth a intel xeon X5675 for 25$ and bougth and ADATA SSD 240gb for 30$ new. my question is. is this motherboard going to work with the xeon x5675 without problems? and will my rams work good? i can't found on asus if the motherboard is compatible with xeon processors but i found on google so many people do it with p6t deluxe v1, v2 and se. but just only 1 thread with a guy doing on a P6T normal. im not a hardcore gamer right now like in the past. i play maybe 1 or 2 hours 2 or 4 days at week if possible. so i think this can work for some years for me. my core2quad get 60fps on ultra on battlefield 4 but on battlefield 1 i can't play on ultra and also BF5 is not going to run on it so thats why i want a cheap upgrade. i hope someone know about this and can help me if it will work without problems for me. thanks.
