I'm thinking about trying out the l5640. Does anyone here have experience with it? It runs a 19x multiplier and if it can run 220 bclk like the l5639 it might be a decent chip. Or would the x5650 be better overall?
Just get the 5650

I've had good luck with the X5660 and X5675 as well.Just get the 5650

Good luck. The Gigabyte boards are a PITA and never clock as high as other boards. I couldn't get past 4.2Ghz with a Xeon X5670 no matter what I tried. Sold all my Gigabyte stuff for that reason.
that's no option, the r9 is a killer for computation. Actually I sold one 960 to get space for the r9...Again, sell the R9 and get another GTX 960..
Didn't even thought about that... But if I'm not mistaken, the board won't lock the turbo multi :/Also, you said the Gigabyte will do 166bclk. The X5670 has 24X multi, giving you 4Ghz! Plenty for what you're doing..
My Gigabyte X58A-UD3R is currently running bclk of 221 with an E5620@4,2GHz. I guess this is the famous exception
Would you mind sharing your full settings set? Could maybe help me a bit as the bios are the same. Worst case, it could help me with my setup at work (ud3-r with a w3550)
Here's my settings, but i think they are of no use to you because the only voltages I changed are CPU vcore and QPi/Vtt voltage. These voltages shouldn't have anything to do with bclk overclocking ability. The images were taken with a potato, so their quality is utter crap.
