[SOLVED] X5650 MSI x58 PRO

[Pedro Pimenta]

So recently i managed to get a cheap MSI x58 Pro and a x5650 xeon, so my problem is that im trying to oc the CPU using the switches on the MB, that being said i tried 133 Base clock and worked fine with some voltage tweeking, now im trying the 200 Mhz base clock and i manage to get into windows and load everyting just fine it shows 4.00ghz when booting and on the bios, but for some reason when i try to stress test the cpu its not reaching that value but staying on the 2.66 ghz from the xeon, i tried to give it more voltage did not work, i already have my windows on high performance nothing, i realy could use help. BTW my motherboard is locked at 20x Multiplier.

Runing at 3.33Ghz just fine
Stress test

What did you do to get X5650 function with MSI X58 Pro?
Because I have the same mobo and tried today that very same CPU on it -> boots without post/video.
I saw some articles that a lot of people are actually using this CPU in this motherboard (even its not officially supported) and in the other hand others have same issue than I have :/

had you increase the voltage ?

had you increase the voltage ?

Yes I had and didn't set bios to default before that, so I assume that was the problem?
