Not all socket F boards support 6-cores. As far as I know, these chips require split VRM phases for CPU and CPU-NB... and older board don't have that (including mine Tyan S2932-E http://www.tyan.com/support_download_cpu2_amd … spx?socketid=16). So unless you board officially supports Instabul CPUs, it is likely they won't work.

The only thing holding it back is the 1.8ghz clock speed.
There I'm recall you could get upto a 2.4ghz 6 core cpu for lga1207 and I upto something like 3ghz for a 4 core cpu.

I bought the 1.8ghz cpu's are they pull 40w and have a max TPD of 60w. That and I got 2 for 4$, hopefully they will work with my mobo.

Yeah the only problem I see is the total wattage request when oc... 😵

I did not really plan to OC them. The board I bought is a old MSI board from around 2008-2010, MSI did not use the best VRM back then and I don't want to kill the board.

one look at the VRM and most will not OC it

I'm believe it does.

EDIT:
the boards supports Instabul cpu's and I seen a few with hex's in them, just not the EE models.

Nice, but what about the case? Is it standard?

Get rid of those two 9800 cards, throw in a decent video card and you've got yourself a nice render machine or daily driver. Here's my HP z800:

2xXeon X5690, 48gb ram, Asus RX 470 and runs like a dream.

Nice looking case, I like HP for its 'business' line - I own a Proliant ML350 G6, really sturdy machine.

Good call. The motherboard is ether ATX or Eatx. Cant recall off the top of my head.

The case is a old intel server case from around 2003-4 and is a full EATX case meant for 604 server boards. Has 2 120mm fans 2 60mm fans 2 80mm fans and one 92mm fan. It will be abit of a sleeper build
