In BIOS A04 supposedly support was added for a single socket W3680 (if you read the notes

listed on
the download page for A04). I have a rev 3 board with the latest A14 BIOS and it won't POST with the
LEDs 2, 3, 4 blinking after swapping my E5630 for a W3680. I have RAM rated for the faster 1333
speed that a W3680 should provide and have reset the CMOS without any luck. This leads me to
belive that the support of the W3680 was an error. Can someone from Dell confirm or deny the
legitamacy of a single socket W3680 on a T7500 please?
