Make DOS USB-stick (e.g, by Rufus), download and unzip all files for the modded version of CHECKUP7 to this DOS USB-stick.
Install your X5470, boot from this DOS USB-stick and make a photo of the screen with results.

You are awesome it worked and i was able to boot into windows 8.1 now windows, cpu-z and the bios show the correct cpu.

Now the only problem is that the xeon is running at 2.33ghz instead of 3.33ghz is that something to do with a speedstep issue? but i don't have an option to disable speed step.

Run HWMonitor and run Stress CPU in CPU-Z.
Make a screenshot.

Did you do Load Defaults in BIOS after CPU change?
