    Different Xeon CPUs (771) on one motherboard?

    What about same bus, different multipliers (5320+5310)?

    Different Xeon CPUs (771) on one motherboard?

    Is it possible to use different CPUs (for instance, a Xeon 5320 and a Xeon 5310 (or even a Xeon 5320 and a Xeon 5160)) on one motherboard or would there be problems? Thanks!

    NVIDIA nForce 680i Solutions

    Ironically, I don't even expect them (NVIDIA) to, but damn is the 680i still flawed. On a sidenote, my P5B Deluxe is up and running, reaching a higher FSB than the EVGA (470 MHz to be precise). No problems, whatsoever. Too bad I can't use SLI, I might switch back to the 680i once everything...

    NVIDIA nForce 680i Solutions

    Sorry to hear that. I have lost all my faith in the 680i chipset as no board out there that uses it seems to be flawless. I ordered by P5B Deluxe today and can't wait for it to arrive and replace this piece of crap eVGA board.

    EVGA 680i problems possibly identified!

    Make sure you read page 2 and you'll see that this actually doesn't fix anything.

    NVIDIA nForce 680i Solutions

    I thought my board was rock-solid until now, but now it has begun giving me random C1 (memory) errors, random freezes and random reboots. I have double-checked every single component - it's the freaking board. I've had it with the 680i and am going to buy an Intel based board this week.

    Some 680i overclocking observations...

    My board is running at 497 MHz with the northbridge fan at 50%. Perfectly stable :)

    eVGA new BIOS P23 Final is out!

    P23 made my memory bandwith go up 500+ MB/s. I'm not kidding - other people have reported this, too. My system is now extremely fast and stable :)

    New Bios update EVGA 680i P23 BETA

    I can confirm this! My memory bandwith went through the roof after the update (at least +500 MB/s), reaching 8600 MB/s :)

    Your maximum EVGA 680i FSB?

    Never said it was :D Just wanted to see what others are getting :)

    Foxconn does the actual manufacturing, BIOS etc. is done by EVGA, though.
