Because my Server use 600W i would need 2 like him

Nice processor but 120W wouldn't be ideal for Crunching, maybe when I will go to live to a Village or Countryside I can buy a few of those

 

[MIRTAZAPINE]

Everywhere in the World except here in Germany, second hand Xeons X5675 €150 because I always need a pair €300
Last pair of X5675 I bought 338€

That is still cheaper than i7 for that amount of power! Xeons looks good!

I am confused because i want to build a pc for Gaming but I don't know if go for Xeons, Intel 5960x or wait for Intel 6960x.

the e5 equivilant of the 5960x is actually better =P

Xeon is the way to go! I would prefer a gaming Xeon. Dreaming of a gaming Xeon. Though i7 have higher clock speed with overclock. Xeon do have good reliability and features like Ecc plus more instruction sets.

5960x is too much for my poor Pentium blood.

Xeon X5670 playing Project Cars @4.2 ghz just now with XFX HD 7970 at 98%

330 watts with no screen
154 watts on idle

4.2GHz, but you can Overclock a Xeon when running in single configuration but as you know when you use 2 of them in pair it's no the same history, and because as I have said before next build is for gaming and nothing to do with crunching i think that if i decide for Xeons has to be socket 2011 because has a few features that the old technology (1366) doesn't have and i guess a SLI configuration in a board socket 2011 shouldn't be a big problem if.

Yep. If you can afford it, there is nothing better than LGA2011. The best thing over 1366 and definitely over all other platforms is a quad-channel memory. It will probably not do much in terms of gaming, but productivity performance is crazy. Almost as crazy as when I switched my Athlon X2 5000+ BE to Core i7-920

If you can afford it,

In my case money is not a problem, I just need a pair of good Xeons socket 2011.

Holy shit! That board is only $399 @Newegg. That's more than $100 difference.

It's almost as bad as buying high-end hardware in Kiev : $600 if you can actually find one of those in stock...

As i always said Germany is Germany in prices are very high.
Btw i thinking of getting one of those board + 2 of those CPU's showed in the pic below

I believe the Xeon E5-1603v3 only has one qpi link. So it wouldn't be ideal for use in your choice of motherboard. Think that you need to look at the Xeon E5-26xx v3 series. Nice setup btw!

 

[FireFox]

E5-26xx v3 series.

The only problem is that those xeons are too poor in clock speed performance, at least the E5 is 3.7GHz.

I got twin X5690's =P

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

aaah shucks....that makes you cooler than me.

 

[Mercennarius]

Ditto. Awesome chips.

 

[dorsetknob]

aaah shucks....that makes you cooler than me.

2 x 130w......... V............. 2 x 95w only cooler for kudos but i'm still envious

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

2 x 130w......... V............. 2 x 95w only cooler for kudos but i'm still envious

no load .........144 watts
full load ........265 watts

no monitor,

3 fans, ssd, psu, 4x 2gb ram and the mobo of course.

i think i will win on the wattage but not on the coolage.

till tomorrow, when two of these go on.

 

[CjStaal]

My R710 is about 738W fully loaded.

@Mercennarius

you got a watt meter mate?

i would be interested to see what you are getting through at 3.7

@Mercennarius

I don't, but wouldn't mind trying it out. Are the ones that plug in between the power socket and computer adequate for this?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

that is what i have, though the UK version

, i think it was about 12 quid, 15 Euro.

 

[CjStaal]

I use iDRAC6 Enterprise to get the exact wattage usage
