GA-Z77X-UD5H + Xeon?
« on: April 28, 2012, 11:59:15 pm »
Hi guys,
Maybe u can help me, I googled a lot but still cannot find an anwser. Does GA-Z77X-UD5H support Xeon processors especially e3-1230? I would really like to combine these two but also I don't want to risk buying the processor that I can't use.Does this mobo support HT too? Thanks for any help.

giga doesn't mention this cpu to be supported http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4139
but you may ask their support directly (gts.gigabyte.com)

HT is inside the cpu's so should be supported with no problem

Hi

Again, I woulkd have thouight that they should be supported but I do know they aren't on the list. I can't see why they wouldn't be ok but as Beekeeper said check with GGTS to make sure.

Hi, thanks for replies. I did send a question to support stuff before even posting on this forum but as expected I just only got the link to supported cpus and answer "no" (which for me means "I just don't know, don't ask"). However in download section there is a new BIOS dated 26.04 where in comments is stated "Support Intel Xeon Processor" what sounds quite optimistic :). Do I need another CPU to be able to update mobo to new BIOS?

If you have a current BIOS that is lower than the one you need for the Xeon then yes you will need a supported CPU to run the BIOS update.
