Hi everyone, this is the first time i write here so i will try to explain myself better than Ana "bottle"...
The question is that i have a rampage II extreme with an old i7 920 c0/c1 oc at 3600mhz and i can't get past this, and even now i have insane temps and vcore voltage at 1.40 .... so i had the chance to get a second hand xeon w3540 for a reasonable price, and decided to get it to oc in order to make my computer last a year and then upgrade it all. I saw a lot of people using this mobo with this xeon with no problems, but for me, when i change my i7 920 for the xeon the computer does not even boot, no sound, no beep, just powered on but nothing happens. I tried two different bios, 2101(latest) and downgraded to 2002 with no luck, even tried 2 different set of ram memmory but no changes. Am i missing something?
My computer is:
Rampage II extreme
i7 920
6gb corsair tr3x6g1600c7d
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english
