hello everyone, in my collection I have the mother detailed in the title
currently with an I7 975 it boots without problems, but when placing a Xeon X5690 it does not boot indicating FF error
Looking at evga download center I see that your last BIOS is "83"
The BIOS version that I see when I boot is "IX58S683", it ends in "83", will it be the same? I will try anyway to do a BIOS update with the .bin from evga download center? Or do you directly believe that this mother does NOT support Xeon?
Thank you!

very great evga collector

    If you have the latest BIOs version this should work Unless a hardware mod is needed). Please contact EVGA tech support.

    https://www.evga.com/support/motherboard/legacy/
     
    (excerpt of link)
     
    * Westmere
    • Xeon X5690 - 3.46 GHz
     
    * Westmere processors are only supported natively on the X58 SLI3, FTW3, and Classified3 Models. A product modification may be needed for older models.
     
     
     
    I am not clear about what exactly is meant by --> (excerpt) "A product modification may be needed for older models."
     
    -->Does this reference some early Rev of the MBs that are listed in the CPU list?
     
    Might have to ask EVGA (see)  EVGA X58 SLI LE Westmere (Xeon) Mod help! - EVGA Forums

    I think some of the early versions of some MB needed a hardware modification in order to support that CPU
     
    Ask EVGA support if your specific MB Should work with that CPU - provide the "Rev number" & the serial number
     
    If it should work & it does not work, then the MB or Xeon CPU has an issue

    Here is a used i7-980x hexcore for 50$, its the best bet easiest thing to do.
    That board you have will need to do a hardware mod like here, post 18.

    Thank you very much everyone for your answers, it is clear to me that this mother does not natively support the x5690, it requires a hardware mod
    I think the best will be, or get a 990x, or get a newer mother
    thank you!

    Thanks everyone for the help, I got an I7 990X for the X58 Classified, and to my surprise, I thought that only Xeons supported 8GB RAM modules... I put 6x8GB EVGA SSC DDR3 2400 on it and it popped up to 48GB with no problem, a beastly combo :)

    The X58 was one of the best chipsets Intel ever made in my personal opinion. Glad to see this working for you.
