Hey guys, sorry to be a bother, I spotted this EVGA X58 SLI3 motherboard for 90 total (including shipping) in my country, should I go for it?
Currently running Bios 1204 and still nothing, still continues to ignore voltage changes.

I have an SLI3, though I believe it's a newer model (I have USB 3.0, and SATA 6). Works fine. Boots funny occasionally with my R9 290, but that's it.
I ran an evga SLI3 with a hex xeon without any issues. It should work fine.
What is the best processor that will work with an Asus P6T Deluxe? Currently running an i7 920 as seen in signature.
With the latest BIOS your board can run any 32nm 6 core Westmere-EP Xeon processor, meaning, all X5600 series W3600 series processors are supported. The best "bang-for-buck" Xeon today is probably an X5675 3.06GHz, which can be had for around $100. The fastest processors out of the box would be Core i7 990X, Xeon X5690 and Xeon W3690 (all being 3.46GHz parts), however, their clock advantage can be easily "rectified" with some overclocking. Pretty much all X5670 2.93GHz and X5675 3.06GHz CPUs I've seen go all the way up to 4.2GHz+ without too much hassle.
Yes this one does have those too, the Sata 6 and USB 3.
It's a shame my Sabertooth is busted, that is a really good board ._.
If it's the CPU that isn't accepting voltage changes I'm going to be very upset, I must say.
Oh and that's fine, I don't use AMD GPUs if that's the problem with them.
Just bought a X5675 to place in my old Gigabyte X58-UD3R V2. 24GB RAM. nVidia 970. And SSD and a HDD. 2 case fans and an Arctic Freezer Pro v2 on the 5675. It's been running for perhaps 4 hours now, total.
I can set BCLK to 200, CPU voltage to 1.25 or so, and I can reliably get and stick to 4.0 ghz (and 3.8 at slightly lower voltage). When I try 4.2, the machine BSODs all over the place, and I'm not thrilled about increasing voltage even more.
@4.0/1.25v, CPU temp is 60s under load (per HWMonitor) and each of the cores can go all the way up to 88! That's hot! (Right?) My load test is H265 encoding for 10 minutes or so, which will take the CPU to 100% and keep it there the entire time, but even in Windows 10's 'power save' or 'balanced' power modes, it sticks to 4.0 and never drops or goes lower (or higher.)
I noticed that when I switch from stock 3.06 to OC'd 4.0, I lose all turbo functionality (it's still enabled in BIOS...) -- the multiplier of 20 applies to both turbo and non-turbo settings. How does one set turbo settings? All EIST/Speedstep/etc. settings are enabled - I haven't changed at all from stock.
Any thoughts on what to do? Be happy with it?
My X5670 needs 1.29375v in BIOS to be rock-solid stable at 4.2GHz. You can push the vcore all the way 1.35v without degrading your Xeon as long as the temps are in check. That being said, 88 degrees is too high, my chip hits 80 degrees only if I do stability testing with LinX, otherwise it peaks at low 60s under maximum load and that's with a Cooler Master 212+ Plus air cooler. My ambient temperature is about 20C/68F.
As for your motherboard, unfortunately I can't speak for the X58-based Gigabyte as I've never really owned one. Are you on the latest BIOS? Are you sure speedstep and turbo boost-related settings do not get overridden once you apply overclocking?
Is it preferred to go with a higher multiplier and lower blck or higher blck and lower multiplier?
I did some quick overclking but before I was at 23x175 rock solid and now I tried 20x200 with more voltage and I can only do about 20mins of prime95 before it crashes.

I would say definitely higher mult. Some motherboards won't like 200 bclk no matter what you do.
I am confused. How do you score so high when mine is running at 4.4 and its not even hitting 1000?!
post some pictures of that....cause thats impressive!! What is your total investment as well? I bet that thing converts videos pretty fast
Why does your CPUZ only report 24giga cookies? Is it dropping out? Edit: Ohh it must be per processor. I don't know how any of this dual CPU stuff works.
I'm jealous of your graphics card. My old ATI 4870 just doesn't cut it, and provides no acceleration in Adobe Premiere. My Xeon really helped in Premier, but nothing like what a good GPU would do. I want to make more videos, but the though of having to wait hours and hours for a render puts me off.
since we are sharing....
my T7500 did 819 in cinebench. Single X5690, 24GB, 240GB SSD/64GB SSD, 4x 2TB RAID 5, 9800GT (soon to be 560Ti). Total investment in tower: $635
These older X5690 servers are great bang for the bucks!
you don't by chance ever rip blueray movies for archiving to hard disks? or to put in another way? what are some real world tasks that take full advantage of the 24 threads? just curious what your real world improvements were after going dual socket

Not overclocked but figured i'd share my Cinebench R15 and CPU-Z scores of my X5690s at stock clocks
