I'm waiting on an RMA of my X58n 4Way Classified and asked for them to mod it for hexcores.  I was told by tech support that they do no such mod.  Funny because I have seen references to the mod for  $60 elsewhere on the forums.



As far as I've been told, we do perform the mod. If you would rather have us do it, call up or send an email to EVGA tech support, tell us which board you have, and ask for the Westmere mod. We should be able to help you through the process.

Hi. Maybe it s possible. Please look at the corner of your mother, near the pci ports. It's printed the rev of mother on it. Mine is 1.1, but when i do the mod, cpuz says rev12.

I just looked and my board is REV 1.2 but i'm thinking my bios may be to old as it worked great out of the box and never updated it.. cpu-z reports bios date 10-30-09 and 6.00PG .. would I need ELEET to really see what bios i'm running?

I don t know. I put latest bios ver 83, that fits microcode for some cpu.

Thank's.. it already has Xeon support under current bios but not for 32nm which as u say ver 83 is the magic ticket..

Yes. Last version of bios is the key ;-)

There is some one with a bios layout to make this xeon overclock like a beast? I ll try a layout for i7 920 in my x58 3sli and didn t work properly for the xeon. Bsod screen appears or has an erron on boot.

Any help?

There is group over at HardOPC that is working together on Xeon's but all of them have Asus boards I think.. they may could help you.
