Must be poor contacts in the cpu socket resulting that. There's a trick i used is a strong sewing needle and start with the ram slot and each pin i push inward force just a small bit to give the pin more contact surface. Second trick i used is a dead ddr3 ram module with no ic or caps present on it that way i can see straight down on the slot which pins is misaligned and work from there

I've simply no clue and you can quote me!!

I'll have another look at it when time or the Mrs's allows, but I've had it with a few X58 boards that they just appear to have delicate memory slots.. I don't believe there's any damage to the board but it does seem odd to me that I could have pushed down on the RAM and got that channel/stick working and then when I went from 4 sticks to 5 sticks then to 6 sticks, it would go from 8GB to 10GB back to 6GB... Blows my little mind, I can't deal with things like that!!

It's a pain sometimes!! I'd just check on the bios and see if it reports it as I found if it's not there, it usually doesn't show up anywhere to be honest... Although, I'm sure there'll be something to tell me otherwise! lol

Lovely board there mate, I hope you can get it working Oh, try some different RAM as that might be faulty but I'm sure your there already

I just picked up a X5670 today, installed on this board "Asus P6T Deluxe V2" with no issues, have it running at 4.0 GHz @40° temps, with 28 Gig of ram. It made a LOT of difference from the i7 920, and I was running the i7 @ 3.78 GHz. I've been running it for over 4 hrs. now, just surfing the web, and watching some YouTube video's, temps still @40° hopefully it's good to go.

4ghz is a breeze for the X5600 series of Xeons. You're good.

Interesting techniques!

I have been busy lately bashing the x5675 about to see where it hold up at the moment it running 172 fsb with every power saving options enabled it currently at 3.96ghz (turbo mode to 4.30ghz) @ 1.288v (bios stated 1.300v) QPI/DRAM Core Volt = 1.21250 V while the dram is downclocked 1,376.4mhzm, fsb:dram ratio = 2:8 dram voltage 1.60v, uncore is 2752mhz and qpi clock is 3096mhz.

I'm wondering am i on the limit on any of the above speed?

You're not even close to being near the limits. 1366 CPU's can, as general rule, handle 200mhz bclk if voltages, QPI, uncore and memory settings are just right. That X5675 should be able to do 201mhz x 20 at 1.32v, uncore at 3000mhz, QPI at 3000mhz.

EDIT;
At that bclk running RAM at it's rated speeds will be trivial as the mutli's work out perfectly.

You can drop it down. Even though the X5675 is multiplier locked, only the upper range is limited, you can drop down it at will.

My daily. Overclock that bad boy.
You're just getting started.

I noticed that you running dram 935.2 x 2 = 1,870.4mhz. What your vtt set to? And last question is that ram timing is that in auto or manual

Ah crap he running dual cpu set up no way i can compete with that

I see what i can do when i have free time to tweak

VTT is 1.35v
Timings are manually set stock settings.
Screenshot is old. I actually run 7-7-7-21 timings now. Same speed.
Wasn't meant for you to 'compete' with. Just wanted to show the overclock. Air cooled 24/7 stable daily machine.

Nice to know

Around 40c give or take.

Came across this video about the 48gb ram on asus x58 board as i dont understand german

The general idea is that the supposed 24GB limit is not a thing on that board. This is actually true for many X58 based systems.

On July 2018 i quit the PC world but I am coming back at the beginning of next year.

Ah i say you taken a break to reflect on important things in life. It good that you are still around and sure keep in touch with the forum

I been tweaking mine for ages trying to squeeze more performance in different setting and mixing them up to get the best overall

 

[Edwired]

Ended up tinkering last night to about 4am just to see how far I can get it with with most settings in auto except vcore, qpi and dram set manually got to 4.40ghz at vcore 1.325v qpi 1.31 it pass both r15 and r20 cinebench then decided to just to apply maximum voltage to vcore and qpi and go all out for the last ditch it pass both cinebench at 4.50ghz but the scores started to degrade from there so it looks like I got a good chip overall

 

[bobbybluz]

I know I could do a OS reinstall but being lazy I'm trying to avoid that. My dilemma is getting the chipset and other CPU related files to install on a previous Win 7 Enterprise install on a SSD I transplanted into my recent ASRock X99/3.1 E5 2683 V4 build. I've got everything else working but the correct CPU drivers. Safe mode hasn't helped and I had to use Geek uninstaller to remove the previous older chipset drivers. This isn't the main OS in this rig (triple boot) but I'd like to get it fully functional with the least amount of effort expended.

 

[Edwired]

You mean keep the os but in different conpoments you should done the oobe method that basically keeps everything but reset the drivers so the operating system can detect new hardware

 

[bobbybluz]

I did that but the OS doesn't have any info on the much newer CPU. Installing a newer chipset driver should cure that but so far it doesn't want to install. It did work on a Win 10 Enterprise SSD I also plugged into it. As soon as I put the chipset drivers in all was good.

As it's getting a little chilly here in the northwest of drama country, I can vouch for the x5680 processor in being a fantastic mini heater.
