ANYONE- EITHER HAVE ADVICE ON HOW TO USE A XEON E5-1660, OR
WOULD LIKE TO OWN A BRAND NEW, PERFECT, SEALED IN-THE-NEWEST-BOX, WITH NEWEST
SPEC, BATCH ETC., AND WITH MORE THAN A FULL WARRANTY
I SOLD AN ASUS X77 EXTREME V AND INTEL 3770K AS I NEEDED A
FULL X 16 PCIe 3.0 AND A FULL X8 PCIe 3.0. I PURCHASED AN ASUS P9X79 PRO AND
INTEL 3930K. ALTHOUGH THE LARGE ADS WITH ALL X79 MOTHERBOARDS SAY PCIe 3.0
DOUBLE THE SPEED OF YOUR GTX 680, THE SMALL PRINT WITH THE LITTLE DEAD END *
SAYS THAT PCIe 3.0 IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH THE COMPATIBLE PARTS; MEANING GRAPHIC
CARD AND CPU.
WHAT THIS ACTUALLY MEANS IS THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE AN EVGA GTX
680 FTW+ 4GB $569 CARD AND A $320 ASUS PCIe 3.0 CAPABLE MOTHERBOARD, THERE IS
NOT A SINGLE CONSUMER DESKTOP CPU ON THE MARKET TO COMPLETE THE QUALIFICATIONS
FOR PCIe 3.0 SUCCESS.
MY INTEL $590 3930K CPU WILL NOT MEET THE STANDARDS THAT
INTEL SET FOR ITS OWN CHIPSET- SO MY QUESTION IS WHY ARE ANY MOTHERBOARD
COMPANIES ADVERTISING SOMETHING THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE? WERE THEY MISLEADING ME
AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS OR WERE THE MOTHERBOARD COMPANIES MISLED;
BELIEVING THAT OF COURSE THE X79 CHIPSET MAKER WOULD CERTAINLY BE PROVIDING THE
KEY COMPONENT TO MAKE THE GRPAHIC CARD DOULBED SPEED (PCIe 3.0) A SUCCESSFUL AND WORTHWHILE
INVESTMENT?
I HAVE SEARCHED EVERY FORUM, TECH OUTLET, REVIEW, MAGAZINE
ETC. AND I AM AMAZED THAT EVERYONE IS TAKING THIS LAYING DOWN. WHERE IS THE
FIGHT? I LITERALLY HAVE BEEN DENIED THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE WHAT I PAID DEARLY
FOR.
SO I BOUGHT A XEON E5-1660 FOR MY ASUS PRO AND ASUS SAID IT
WON'T SUPORT IT. I HAVE TO PURCHASE AN ASUS X79 WS WORKSTATION DESKTOP. THAT
MEANS SELLLING MY BOARD AND THE 39030K.
I OWN A BRAND NEW BOXED XEON E5-1660 THAT IS THE MOTHERLOAD
IN BATCH, S-SPEC, AND INTEL VERIFIES THAT THE WARRANTY IS A COUPLE MONTHS
BEYOND 3 YEARS- IT IS THAT NEW. I AM SELLING AND GOING BACK TO THE Z77.
#ONE--ANY ADVICE
#TWO--- ANY ONE LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT BOXED XEON E5-1660, BRAND NEW AND
UNOPENED DROP ME A PM. DON'T BUY A 3930K AND X79 AND EXPECT WHAT YOU WANT. THIS
CPU WITH THE DREAM MACHINE MOTHERBOARD WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT WE ALL SHOULD HAVE
GOTTEN. PM ME FOR A PATHWAY TO A SUCCESSFUL PCIe 3.0 BUILD.
THANKS ALL
