Hi, so I was putting an Intel Xeon E3-1290 v2 into my system to run some comparison benchmarks.
So, it boots into windows no problem, the bios and certain programs(CPUZ, Geekbench) identified it correctly.
However, Settings>System>About identified it as a i7-3770 @ 3.4 GHz instead of the Xeon. And Cinebench R20 identified it as the Xeon E3-1290 v2, but had it showing up as 3.4Ghz instead of 3.7Ghz.
Finally, Geekbench said the benchmark was invalid because of timing issues? I'm not really sure what the issue is here. I didn't change anything about the system except swapping out the processor(from i7-3770 to Xeon E3-1290 v2).
For further info, the mobo is a MSI H61-P23 (B3) and I'm running 16GB of DDR3-1600 non ecc memory.
