    Are you sure that the EVGA boards have to be modded for Xeons? None of my Giga or Asus boards needed to be.

    I'm unsure about E759, E762 and E770, but E760 and the black X58-SLI definitely need the mod. We had quite the drama in PCGHX when someone recommended a Xeon to someone with Evga SLI and it didn't work... the E760 I tested myself.

     

    Afaik some of the later PCB-revision run Westmere EP without mods as well. Asus and Gigabyte are the safest bet, never heard of problems with those.

    There was a huge pricedump for Gulftown in 2013-14 because all these $50 Xeon X5650 flooding the market could do the same speeds at ambient.

    But as prices for those went above $100, Gulftown climbed back towards 200... :(

    Moving from Extreme to Apprentice ?

    I like the idea of the league, but the name is awful and sounds like a downgrade compared to enthusiast. It seems a bit weird to call people who have been overclocking for a decade apprentices.

     

    Maybe something like "Icy League" instead of Apprentice and "Nitrogen" instead of Extreme?

    Or collect a few ideas and make a poll?
