WOW. I've never seen anything like this. Im assuming you can OC via FSB as well since its X79?

Most no brand motherboard dont support overclocking. Well my x79 micro and full atx from aliexpress did not.

Had a e5 2697 v2 12 core on them.

My dual socket SuperMicro boards with the C602 chipset don't allow overclocking.  It'd be nice, but I mean with 32 cores with HT you kind of don't need to.  I cannot comment on that board linked above though.

One workaround for this is to purchase a single 1680 v2 and use throttlestop to overclock from within windows. But trade off here is no second QPI link so single processor only. And only quad channel memory.

Yeah see, I need as many cores and as much RAM as possible as is with my 2011 setup.  Would be neat to try that out, I do have a spare dual socket board that no longer works with 2 CPU's......

the 5700XT is now considered an 8-900 dollar GPU according to ebay...which means we all made good investments

to be fair, anyone who bought any GPU at MSRP before COVID made a good investment. I sold a RX 580 for double the price I paid.

Sup bros, so my question about RX 5700 XT is do u guys know if its possible to BIOS Mod these cards?  Can I edit the values in hex in HxD or a Tool of some sort & save to correct checksum & get it to post BIOS & everything & work fine?  Do you need to patch the driver like on Polaris?
