Okay, so I aquired a Xeon W3550 ES from someone on another forum and it's not playing nice with me. CPU is running at stock speed. It craps out on me every single time if I manually set the memory to 1333 or 1600 with 1.65V vdimm and 1.35v QPI. Memory timing is left at Auto. If I let memor speed on Auto and it picks 1066 as the speed, then it works okay. As soon as I up the speed, the system wouldn't POST. I know it's not a problem with the memory because they work perfectly at 1600 (same voltages everything else) on my 920 D0. Is the W3550 having a bad memory controller?
This is on my MSI Eclipse Plus, by the way.
