The i7-3770K can overclock and cannot use ECC RAM only non-ECC which is only important for mission critical jobs, the i7-3770K is more expensive, requires an after market cooling solution if overclocked and is a faster CPU than the E3-1230V2.Įssentially, for business usage the Xeon and for home and gaming the consumer Ivy Bridge e.g. * Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of individual CPUs.
(Credit: Asus) While that’s how modern TPM implementations function on a most basic level, it’s far from all they can do. Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) add-on for Asus mainboards. Xeon E3-1230V2 vs i7-3770K - Xeon cannot be overclocked, but allows for ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, but I see no listed support of ECC memory and instead the following so you'll need to contact ASUS if it's possible to run ECC RAM instead of non-ECC Specs:Ĥ x DIMM, Max. Observation - the Xeon requires BIOS version 1401 () or later which with most MOBO's would be an issue BUT the ASUS P8Z77-V PREMIUM includes USB BIOS Flashback so you can update the BIOS using a USB Flash Drive without the need for a donor CPU, Repair Shop or RMA. There's only (2) two supported Xeon's listed for the ASUS P8Z77-V PREMIUM which I already listed above (E3's).
