The Xyratex 0944037-03, also known as the Xyratex HS-1235T-ATX, supports 2 CPU's, 12x DDR3 RAM slots of both registered, and non-registered variants. It took me a bit to understand that I "HAD" to power it with 2x 4x2 12v power connectors. This also requires a Server or Pro series OS to make use of both CPU's. Supports an ASPEED on-board graphics adapter heavily suited for text, and offloads a lot of the graphical bits inefficiently as CPU instructions, and can cause a lot of stutter. Although it supports 7 PCI lanes, they're limited to PCIe x8, and required adapters, or a special GPU to get away from the on-board graphics. The Board is completely obsolete as far as support goes, but Windows does a nice job at providing the basics needed. There was also a LOT of CPU noise that I couldn't identify since I got the thing, but it seems to have warmed up and smoothed out. Overall, this is an absolutely amazing board for it's price if all you want is a couple of game servers, virtual machines, or a database server. Highly suggest you look into a proper case, as it will NOT fit in a traditional desktop case.Read full review

If this would have worked, I would have been able to write a better review. However, I never did get it to power up. I have many matched pairs of 5670s and 5645s with countless RAM sticks and nothing worked. I have three dual 8pin EPS 1000 watt PSUs and that was not the issue either. This board is a OEM solutions motherboard designed for a specific OEM chassis. There are no CPU fan power ports or system/case fan ports. I spent the better part of a day scouring the internet looking for a manual, schematic, pinout guide, or whatever I could find for documentation to figure out the front panel connectors... This board is a ghost in the internet. I couldn't find a thing. Maybe it's just me, but I cannot recommend this board.

Well, I Bought 2 of them for my HP Z800 system, I was building it for my 3d modeling/visualisation needs (at this moment i'm learning basics) my whole build costed me about 350$, and here are specs : M/B : HP Z800 Ram : 16GB DDR3 1333MHz (HP approved) CPU : 2 X Xeon X5570 2.93 GHz (8 Core 16 Threads) GPU : Radeon HD 6790 1GB PSU : Raidmax Modular 850w (80 GOLD) Case : Star Citizen Constellation (Handmade) Keyboard : Sven 7600El Mouse: E-Lue Mazer II (Wireless) Pad : Razer Galiathus XXXL This pc performs like some of 1000-1500$ ones from newegg/amazon and other various stores.... You can get pretty good peformance from it, compared to i5 2500k price difference is 15$ vs 120$, and performance difference only bout 20-25%.... well i guess its not worth to buy i5..... thats why i builded my pc, and it rocks ( considering I have 2 of them cpus !)Read full review

Xeon processors are for Server and Workstation systems with CPU intensive operations. Since the performance of current generation processors has surpassed Xeon's from the late 2000's these are not used as much anymore. Few individuals shelled out hundreds of dollars for the better Xeon's back then. This processor can now be had for a great price. If you are still using an older workstation this is a great upgrade. It is not going to make your gaming any faster as that is all handled by the GPU in your video card. But for editing and mixing and even creating music or video projects which I am doing on Linus this was perfect.

Purchased 2x of the X5570 for a HP Z800 workstation, the CPUs arrived on time and in great condition. After a bios update, I stress tested the two CPUs and they performed amazingly! Didn’t overheat, clock speeds we stable and Were so much faster than the CPUs they replayed
