Welp... Installed the x5670 once more... Well it is hard to setup the bios when the system will not post.
No beeps... no post code... Will try again with a new Chip... TY for the advice.
So nothing should be left on auto for cpu voltages as well?
Sorry for my n00bness but I have never messed with xeons much...
I did try 1066 not 1333... but did not set timings manually...
Well I'm having a "Heck of a Time" getting this x5670 just to post... I've set all voltages and clock manually and PC will not post on restart or shuts down starting windows...
Before I get a replacement I hope you guys have some recommendations for me.
I'm on bios rev 1502...
Mult x22
CPU core...
Welp... I just took the Xeon plunge... x5670 and some MX-4 is on it's way from amazon.
I hope to hit 4.2 under 1.35v.
I'm running bios v 1502... really any reason to go to the 1601?
I will be redoing the TIM on the NB/SB/VRM cooler as well.
Well I guess it is time for me to pile on my experience with ASUS as well.
Honestly I think ASUS makes great quality products... but their customer service is by far the worst ever.
During the "capacitor plague decade" I was using ASUS P3B-F's and P4B's for all my PC builds.
The boards were used...
