So you can build a Dual Xeon with not exactly the same CPU?

 

Yes it's possible if both CPU are the same generation. E5 v1 with E5 v2 doesn't work.

 

What are the rules for that?

 

I d'ont know but I think it's not a problem because when all the core are full the turbo frequency of the 2696v2 goes to the level of the 2695v2.

 

In the end it's as if I had two 2695v2 in all the benchmark that uses all the core at 100%.

Thanks!

 

My Dominator Platinum kits are certified for 933 MHz and they can't be OC. I'm surprised because a can bench at 980 MHz.
