Everything reminds me of this

I/m hoping the new board will be enough to get this Welsh lunatic to # 3

If anyone in welshland ( ) can do it, you can

Holy crap, where are these rankings? I hit 1008 on the 5650!

 

[Trinamo]

I can't wait to see where my new board gets me. I got it up and into windows last night. Now time to learn the bios.

Well, guess I'll be stepping up to a hex. A nice TPU member is hooking me up with a x5650. Now I'm really going to need to find a better mobo. My P6T is a little twitchy, don't think I'll be doing much ocing on it. Probably will have to save for a couple of months, because it looks like they want an arm and a leg for a decent x58 mobo with usb3 ect. From what I'm seeing around the net, I should be able to get 4ghz on my D14?

 

[Trinamo]

I was able to get an MSI big bang for $160 on eBay in good shape, and my previous board, alienware/dell j560m yielded the results you see in the previous pages with the 5650 and those can be had for around $150 as well.

 

[johnspack]

Yeah, much better prices. Guess I should stop looking at the popular names from Asus ect....

I got todays the MSI X58Pro-E, cheap ( http://postimg.org/image/w6kikfd2f/ ). I like the board design a lot. And tomorrow I should be getting the Xeon X5650 ... now I only need the rams. Noctua NH-C14S with the LGA 1366 adapter is ready too, so I'm good for roll, except the rams. And I fear that getting a good rams could be a issue... because I dream BIG

Good luck finding a kit of those.

On another note most other DDR3-2000 CL7 and DDR3-2200/2250 CL8 Hypers will also do 850-900 6-6-6 at reasonable voltages.

X5670 @4.620ghz a smidge under 60% overclock.....8th fastest clock speed

I have some HyperX T1 DDR3 2250 sticks running in one of my X58 rigs- those are supposed to be good for doing record runs too AFAIK

Nice results, but that is i7 in a way better mainboard. So... how can you compare this with X58 Pro-E...? With Xeon 5650?

the Xeon X5650

Well, what do YOU suggest that can be cooled w/o noise with hi-end aircooler to acceptable temps?

It is obvious, that it can take weeks or more. So what? I have to find such kit for the maximum performance What are "reasonable voltages" for you? 1.67V, for example?

Good for you. If they have the Elpida MNH-E Hyper chips ( http://ramlist.i4memory.com/ddr3/ ) then they are clearly capable of good results. Looks like Mushkin is proud to show the tightest timings:
Mushkin PC3-12800 Redline 998729 (3x2GB, 1600 6-6-5-18 @ 1.65V, Elpida MNH-E Hyper)
...so, show off some runs, mate!



Morgoth - nice image. Could it produce a CPU-Z verification and Cinebench score also?



Looks like the MSI X58 Pro-E "locked" settings in the bios are very easy to "unlock":


...just change the "Extended User" or "Supervisor" to "User"...

There is also one hidden setting - "CPU Smart Fan Tolence" (probably typo) ... but that it is. No more hidden settings. Now on the microcode injection for Xeon support in bios...



PS. There is the MSI X58 Pro-E bios with unlocked option for the CPU Smart Fan Tolerance and changed all options to "User" to make them visible for change. Enjoy!

my mistake, btw maybe the 5650 Overclocked it doesn't have that much to envy to that i7 Chip

hi-end aircooler?
it depends how far you will push the chip.
you have 2 options:

I used a H55 AIO with X5650 .......worked nice

 

[FireFox]

I have had the H100 with my i7 at 4.5, it did the job.

 

[emissary42]

Weeks? More like months or years

I was just trying to recommend looking for other high end hypers as well. There are quite a few other good clocking kits to look out for, mostly those with specs i had mentioned above (like ADATA XPG Plus AX3U2200PB2G8-DP2, Corsair CMGTX2, OCZ3B2000LV6GK, Super Talent WX200UX6G7/WS220UX4G8). If all you care about is getting the best perfect storms, you should be looking for F3-17600CL8D-4GBPS instead of the 2133 kit

What are "reasonable voltages" for you? 1.67V, for example?

The best kits will do these settings below 1.65V, but anything up to 1.7V should be safe enough for benching.

...so, show off some runs, mate!

My s1366 rigs are busy crunching so I'll do some runs when there is nothing left to crunch

If the sticks hold a value for someone making a record run or two I would be more than willing to let them borrow the sticks as long as I have something to put in their place so the rig can keep running w/o downtime.

EDIT- according to the link you posted the memory chips are likely:
Elpida BDBG-DJ-F

That looks like an HP Z600 or 800 series motherboard. Did you have any issues hooking up a power supply to it, or did a standard PSU work?

 

[johnspack]

Trying to research vt-d as the x5x series has it... I see I'll have direct pci access, how about pci-e or usb? Can you directly connect a wifi usb dongle to a vm? Or do I have to get a wireless card?

 

[Bad Bad Bear]

Hey guys

Has anyone here had any experience overclocking a Intel Xeon E3 1241 V3 ?

3.9GHz Turbo - can you expect 200-400 MHz overclock on this chip ?

Thanks for your advice in advance
