I run an i7-960 in my work rig clocked at around 3.87 GHz. Decent machine for its age. Was considering additional cores for some of the virtual machining I do.
'Officially' -- the Sabertooth X58 doesn't support Xeons on the CPU Support list at Asus. Has anyone had success with running the hex core Xeon's clocked 3.0 or better in this board?
Yap running a X5670 Xeon now at 4.4ghz. I could hit 4.6ghz, but I did want the CPU to last a lil longer. Just make sure you get the latest bios first and you should be golden.
I would go for a X5670 or X5675 IMO.
