my evga 3x sli x58 board for my rampage Gene III board because the asus board supports dual QPI Xeons and the evga board doesn't. Which one do you have? I have the e770 and was able to run dual QPI (x5xxx) XEON's, just had to make sure I was running Bios 83. If you have an e759/760/762, then this simple mod will fix you up; forum.kingpincooling.com/showthread.php?t=599Vin

you know I'm not even sure back when I got it I ran an i7 920 in it and ended up getting a Xeon to run in it but I'm not sure that it ever worked been a while. the evga board is a good board just a little quirky its kinda moot now that I even changed over to the Rampage GENE III board cause ultimately its going to receive the 980X I just received after I'm done with putting under the cold. so I could have stuck with the EVGA board, I have always been more partial to Asus though. I will have to look at the EVGA board in the next couple of days (it's in the Download Rig along with a $1K 965EE) the 965EE + a Rampage II extreme used to be my gaming rig along with 3 gtx 280's now the RIIE is in the living room Pc with 3xGTX580's and A Xeon. the 965EE is in the evga board, I bought that hardware the very night it was released it predates Phenom 2's and was the pretty penny the board cost $400 the cpu was a lil over $1K and it ain't worth a quarter of that today lol But it lasted me till my 4790K rigs. current gaming rig and daily driver is two rampage VII hero boards and two 4790K's. the Gaming rig has 2 GTX980's the daily driver has two 4gb GTX 680's. the 280's have been moved to the garage pc lol and now there is only two I sold one. at one point I had 4 GTX 280's 3 in the gaming rig and one in the Bench rig. all in all, I sometimes think that I spend far too much on something that is a hobby lol.
as a matter of fact I have decided that I have a lot of games to catch up on and have moved to benching only on the weekends and playing more games during the week. I just picked up watchdogs 2 and I have part one but have yet to play it.
I'm currently playing fallout 4 and Dead island definitive edition Co-op with my stepdad (he's a 70-year-old PC gamer and the person that exposed to me to all this)
I got mass effect andromeda coming up been wanting to finish GTAV, and many others lol
