Seems like the multiplier problem is related to the motherboard, at least that's what I've experienced. One would go only 9.5x the other full 10x, with the same BIOS firmware. You'll have to see this for yourself. The newly posted BIOS works 100%. Good luck.
Just put the xeon on the computer with Ben's 5.43 bios,
i didn't tried that 5.0 from o'clockers neither the 5.43 updatet at 2015 microcodes by lost_n_bios, hence i opened a 5.25" bay to leave more heat come out from the case i'm afraid the computer got fried hehehe as the q8200 was very quiet and cold, i just noticed with the xeon onto that i had different temperatures depending on the monitor program i use, as with CORE TEMP who monitorizes on the system tray, it's said currently 80-75-75-72 with the closed case, while HWINFO32 shows 65-58-61-61 at the same time..... so i don't know which temps should i realy on... any idea on how to real monitor??
With the x5470 on mi mobo and with the discussed bios flashed, i see that multiplier starts in 6x and when i stress cpu with cpu-z it bumps into 10x, so 3333mhz, on that time the Artic Cooling xtrem 2 goes faster, but nothing to care about as this is quite silent although louder than at idle.
Antidot, i saw a little sticker on the mobo that says A2 or A 02, that matches with your comments, CPUZ also shows it so maybe the revision also affects to the multiplier.
Lost_N_bios, i do not see on this firmware in bios any option to modify FSB, however my mobo comes into an HP Pavilion A6641ES that it's owner's computer, maybe this one is hidden, and i was not able to enter advanced bios, but i will try at least to check, i won't overclock this computer, as it has beeen fairly one year without switch on, just for browsing at home and home user photoshops, but instead buy a new one i will deal with this some years more.
Regarding the qty of memory, i will keep here just to see if antidot achieves to put 16gb, currently on my mobo there're 7gb (2+2+2+1) as i didn't have more 2x per combine, but as i'm still running win7 32bit, only 3,25gb are used although recognised, waiting for another 240gb ssd to format and install 64bit version, any suggestion about upgrade to win 8 64 or win 10 64??? or better keep this machine with win 7 @ 64
thanks guys for your help, lots of aknowledge here i see!
