I need the machine to run at least one week in a row before I can answer you that question.

Oh.

Have you modded anything else to get the system going and how many ssd or hdd do you need?

I did replace the cpu's Coolers, I have 2 x Seagate Barracuda one a 3TB and one 1TB.

Don't ask why many GB.

Purchased for £25 in 2013

Am I correct in thinking that this makes me our first 1156 Xeon owners club member?

My Xeon E3-1230 v2 is still running strong as ever and I'm starting to whonder at what point it'll make sense to wave goodbye to my beloved pal ...

Thats an epic o/c, have you run Cinebench R15 ?

Thanks

No, I haven't run Cinebench - but it tends to perform just slightly higher in most benchmarks than i5-7** at similar clockspeeds (it has 2MB more cache but is otherwise basically the same).

A week ago I have sold my 2 X Xeons E-3 1240 V2 3.4GHz becasue I think that it was too much clock speed just for 8 threads, now i am Upgrading my Xeons L5640 2.26GHz because i think that it's too much Threads for that clock speed

Btw, the new processors are Xeons X5675 3.3GHz up to 3.46GHz Turbo Boost, at least that's a good clock speed for 12 Threads.

As i have said Xeons are becoming very popular on TPU :rockout:

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Jul 4, 2015

Well if you can do stuff like this with them, I am not surprised

The X5670 should arrive on Wednesday. :peace:

FireFox · Jul 4, 2015

Unfortunately I don't have the right Board for Overclocking, I am curious to see how far I could push the X5675 on air and give a try on water too.

Trinamo · Jul 4, 2015

Hey guys. I'm running a X5650 in my AlienDell with a Corsair H100i watercooler with a very nice OC.

12GB Corsair Vengeance (3x4gb)
Three MSi R9 280's in crossfire @ 1100Mhz
1000WPSU + 450W Visiontek supplemental PSU

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Jul 4, 2015

You joined TPU to show us that...........well done Mate and a warm welcome to TPU :toast:

that is a monstrous o/c :rockout:

, now i know which board i need........the hunt begins, i have a feeling it will be a rocking horse shit hunt though.

Trinamo · Jul 4, 2015

I stumbled across this thread looking for something else and I was very pleased to see others rocking the Xeon's so I had to share! The sabertooths will yield the same results with slightly better voltage!

Heaven7 · Jul 4, 2015

Hi, @Trinamo and welcome to the club! :toast:

+1, awesome OC! Your build looks very interesting spec-wise, would you care to show us some pics? I'm sure they'll be fantastic!

Hold your horses, man!

Or are you "rocking"?

Trinamo · Jul 4, 2015

If i could keep my north and south bridge cooler, I could probably maintain 220 bclk, but I get temp shutdowns when trying to benchmark.
