Those are damn decent temps for that voltage and ghz level! Solid performance as well! Personally would not keep it at that voltage for anything longer than what is needed to benchmark it. Just too risky. But I'm also very cautious.

Temperatures will be even lower when I connect everything, of course it will not be at this voltage, 4.8ghz ds adjusts fine with some 1.43v ...
... although it doesn't stay with me much, I'm looking for 1680v2 but a good copy ...

In case someone is interested - Asus P6X58D Premium works with these 2rx8 4gb Ecc registered sticks. It didn't work with 2rx4 though. I'm using Xeon X5670 and latest bios.

That's interesting.....usually only non-ecc/regular or ecc/unbuffered working on those X58/branded motherboards....thx for the info!

There is a thread on overclockers where someone is using 48gb ecc reg on Asus P6T and he said the same thing that only 2rx8 are working and 2rx4 not. Probably 1rx8 should work too but haven't got any to test.

Yeah I remember reading something about that ages ago....good find @Rumcajs997 and thx for your confirmation,personally I don't own atm X58 platform but there are many members in here that might be interesting in this topic so PLS. feel free to share any news about this subject!

Thats the reason why I share it so others can find it as when I was looking for this info few days ago, 98% of answers where saying that it works only with unbuffered memory. I bought those registered sticks 3x cheaper than regular ones.

Nice.....and BTW I also owned Asus P6X58D Premium before and that motherboard is just Perfect......also don't be shy&feel free to post in here your benchmarking results or your OC achievements....

Just bought it so need to get my head round it as its my first X58 board

I've bought Asus Rampage II Extreme too. Unfortunately I seem to have first problem with those rams. I've installed 3 sticks in blue slots and MemTest went fine, no errors and it sees 12gb but CPU-Z under Hirens Boot shows that they work in Dual Channel (but it sees all 3 sticks correctly)... not sure if its a programme error or what.

Hmm...maybe you can try to tweak memory timings&speed in bios especially If you OC your CPU see if that helps....anyway Passmark test have memory benchmark also so you can see the result and compare it dual Vs triple should be significant difference if that ram working only in dual channel.......

I'm stupid. I was looking at SPD tab and it was showing Rank - Dual but under Memory channel it shows Channel - Triple. When I installed all 6 sticks I had to reseat them as only 4 where detected but after reinstalling them its 24gb triple channel now.

BTW. When I turn on this motherboard it takes like good 15s before anything shows up on the screen. Do you remember if you had the same?

Heh

happens to anyone.........Yeah If I recall correctly you have Asus Express Gate in bios options and enter the os timer or something like that....try to enable/disable and to put that timer on less seconds this will speed up things....I believe that I keep Asus Express gate enabled and soon as that shows up I just skipped and it was way faster.....but you can try all different options....
P.S.VRM on that motherboard is just INSANE......

Cheers, ill try that. I've got Asus P8P67 Deluxe as well and it seems to have quite similar VRM, like 16 phases or something. But its over the top for P67 as 4 core doesn't really need that much. But this X5670 probably does after OC.

Sounds great for the ram I seen a few that works but couldn't find exact ram but thanks for giving in the insight of type of ecc type ram. For the motherboard taking time to load from post to os is disable the asus expressgate and make sure the hard drive with the operating system is set to the first boot priority in the hard drive boot list. That should speed things up

Another tip for increase boot time is change the setting like the full screen logo to disabled (it might be different on your board)
And disable any other things in onboard device menu like 1392, spdif, lan rom boot etc
This should cut down the time in booting

Good news, Asus Rampage II Extreme booted just fine with these 2rx8 sticks too. I was not testing it but if it boots to bios, I'm sure that it will work fine. So we know that Asus P6T, Asus P6X58D Premium and Asus Rampage II Extreme work with 2rx8 ECC Registered sticks.

I wonder if other brands would work too. If we have got someone here that owns X58 Gigabyte or other brand board and could spend 3$ for humanity buying 2rx8 ecc ram to test it, that would be great

I got the asus p6x58d-e here that I might try it some day soon as long I can get it at a reasonable price as seen some going for €25 just for one ram

Nah, that's way too expensive. Ecc registered should be like 3x cheaper than regular ddr3. But p6x58d-e is pretty much the same as my premium, so we know that it will work.

Good to know

The thing is that there's 2rx8 ECC Registered and Unbuffered versions of the ram I don't know which one to get as there's too many
brands and timings scattered everywhere

Unbuffered = expensive as its pretty much a normal ddr3 and should work on any board.
Registered = cheap as its mostly for servers but as we know, some work on consumer boards too.
Look at the photo I shared above, its got 10600R and R means registered.

What I want to know is how all of this is working. X58 isn't "supposed" to support Registered DIMMs, so what gives?

All Chinese motherboards named X79 are built on B67, Q67 etc chipsets and they support quad channel, ecc registered and lga2011 Xeon processors so everything is possible.

That's a different platform. X58 is not supposed to work with Registered DIMMs. It's not in the spec. But then again, the IMC is on chip so maybe there is a microcode instance being triggered in the BIOS when 8GB DIMMs are installed... I kinda want to try it on one of my T3500s but I don't have any spare 8GB RegDIMMs..

B67 and Q67 are not supposed to work with Quad Channel, ECC and Lga2011 socket

These are lga1155 chipsets. But chinese made them work.

I'm sure that ecc feature doesn't work and the board sees those sticks as a regular ram without this middle chip. That might be the reason why 2rx4 don't work as they have got 2 rows of ram on each side which is totally different to regular ram.
