Big Spender. ;-)

A quick, is-it-too-good-to-be-true question: No TRIM support for X58?????!!!
Just re-read a very early post, where Terry swapped his hexagonal computational platform for a square, dull, but new, 4770 system because he needed TRIM support. Fact or fiction? TRIM or no TRIM?
Thanks!
To the best of my knowledge, fiction.
Trim support isn't a function of sata controller support, rather an os level thing, potentially ssd level.
There may be issues with getting trim under a raid setup.
Trim works fine with single SSDs not configured as RAID on X58. Been using an Intel X-25M since they came out and no problems with TRIM. There is no official support for TRIM with SSDs in RAID but some people were hacking the OROM to support it, check the Memory and Storage forum.

You misread that post. The X58 supports TRIM on a per-drive basis. I was trying to RAID0 two SSDs and enable Trim which is only officially supported on Haswell and up.
There was a mod to replace the Intel OROM with a patched version that enabled the RAID TRIM support but my SR-2 wouldn't boot with that patched BIOS, a known bug over loading OROMs of a certain size.
I still have an L5639 rig, using that famous MSI board that those of us early on this deal got in on. That's when this was supernova hot.

Did you ever go back to trying that bios on the SR2 or did you sell the board?
I had the same issue originally with my P6T deluxe v2 not taking oroms over 100kb. And after a while dufus and fernando found a work around for it.
Ah, sorry, Terry, to impunge on your cheapskate ethos. Thanks for clearing that up. Just a little attack of late night paranoia on my part. Still kicking myself for not jumping on one of those $104 MSI boards back in August, but I was still under the spell of Hasweelie-E 8 core future-hype.
NP. They're nice setups you just have to keep their limitations in mind.
Somebody got 1 cheap yesterday.. You can still find them once in awhile..

I would have paid $88 for it.That's a great price!
I quit bidding because I thought you were the other bidder..lol Oh well, I didn't need it anyway..

kastriot, that depends on the board..
Anyone using an ASRock X58 Deluxe3 to overclock a 5650 successfully?
Otherwise, I'll just go pout in the corner with a Hasee quad and cheap Z-87 board.
