Re: Evga motherboard

This motherboard actually comes with pads for measuring with a multimeter... vcore, pll, etc...It's not working at all.

Re: Evga motherboard

From EVGA site:

"* Westmere processors are only supported natively on the X58 SLI3, FTW3, and Classified3 Models. A product modification may be needed for older models.
** Latest BIOS update is necessary to run"

It should be working there plenty of boards just like these running happily hexacore xeons.

Tomorrow i will unshort the pads reflash the bios and see if i can overclock a single QPI 45nm chip.

Re: Evga motherboard

well before going into something that extreme i would rather try to make it work "properly".

What could cause a motherboard to not adjust vcore, i mean any other setting i change in the bios is working just fine.

Re: Evga motherboard

Even with supported CPU's it doesn't adjust vcore. Unfortunately i never tested it before modding, maybe it's time to put it back to stock and start from there.

Hello, i own a [url=http://www.evga.com/articles/00481/]EVGA X58 SLI LE[/url] motherboard that i bought from ebay as untested/not working for cheap.

For my surprise it was working and I've flashed the latest bios, after that i've modded the board so it would work with dual QPI cpu's aka cheap hexacores

I've followed this diagram:




It was fairly easy just shorting a couple of pads...inserted a xeon hexacore and it fired at first try, it was all good till I've tried to overclock the cpu the board doesn't adjust the vcore regardless...
