My X5650 arrived today. Previous owner said the chip reached 4.2/1.38 but run at 4ghz daily.

X58 Sabertooth arriving in a few more days

My first decent cruncher is nearly complete !

did he say what board he had it in?

 

[dorsetknob]

you got a excellent board there and at a brilliant price good luck with it

 

[Silvertigo]

excellent board

yeah I still can`t believe it.

And Dia01 was super nice guy during the sale, and wants me to contact him straight away if theres any probs with the board.

edit: nearly bought the dominator Ram he had until I read the X5650 doesn`t take 1600mhz

My Xeon E5-4620 8 Cores - 16 Threads arrive Wednesday or Thursday and my Asus Rampage IV Extreme Mainboard (Intel X79, ATX, DDR3, Sockel 2011) arrive in one week.

 

[Silvertigo]

did he say what board he had it in?

I`m assuming he had it in the Saber.....

 

[dorsetknob]

in europe/uk that board would go for $200 to $250 AUD easy so you got a bargin

they are like Rocking horse shit easy to recognize damn hard to find

 

[FireFox]

And if someone is interested I could be selling that Asus Rampage IV Extreme in two weeks.

sorry, i couldnt see any reference to it being in a board when you bought it.

Perhaps im just confused...it has been known.

 

[Silvertigo]

$200 to $250

Oh for sure. I bought the x5650 on a whim 3 days before, and expected maybe i would save for a few months and get a x58 of ebay ($250-300)

Then when CAPS alerted me to the board (my eyes nearly popped out of my head) I pounced.

Left me stoney broke for a week or two, but couldn`t be happier.

Sorry for the confusion the x5650 was bought on another forum here in OZ and was in a Asus RAMPAGE III EXTREME

 

[silentbogo]

How about that?

Hey guys, can I run my X5650 with 1600mhz ram ?

Intel specs state only 800/1066/1333.....so in dual config 1600 runs at 800...?

Yet, I`m coming across builds with this chip on the net where guys are running 1600mhz

One guy seems to be using his X5650 on a X58 build with 1866mhz sticks running at 1600mhz....

the soon to arrive Sabertooth states 1866/1800/1600/1333/1066 ram compatability

 

[stinger608]

It will probably choke the 1600 ram down to 1333 @Silvertigo

Although there will be settings in the bios to manually adjust the ram so you can push em up to the 1600 mark and see how the system runs.

 

[Silvertigo]

It will probably choke the 1600 ram down to 1333

That`ll be fine then if they downclock, and I have always got the memok! feature on the board, which has saved me before.

 

[johnspack]

Can run my ram at over 1800mhz fully stable with my x5650, so no, it won't be a problem.

 

[silentbogo]

Should be fine with OC.

I am currently running DDR3-2133 sticks at 1600MHz CL8.
With OC I can go as high as 2000MHz CL11, but anything higher is a no-go. Won't even boot on XMP profile(2133 / CL11-11-11-30-1T).
It all depends on your motherboard, of course, but any decent x58 board can usually handle up to DDR3-2000.

The Motherboard is here
Monday i have to go to the post office and pick up the Cpu

 

[silentbogo]

That's bad-ass. I really like how X99 boards have RAM slots on both sides. Dunno how practical it is, but it sure will look intimidating with 8x8GB Ripjaws installed!

That's X79, @Knoxx29 is getting a SB-EP Xeon.
3 QPI links on that board is just a waste though, should have gone with at least a 2P board IMHO since that CPU can handle 4P configurations.

 

[silentbogo]

Oh.. crap. Misread the Rampage IV as Rampage V.

I think it's really time to buy glasses

@Aquinus i am just doing some test, i know it's a waste but anyway I just want to do some test, after that Motherboard and CPU will be sell, btw I did not find a dual socket board for that CPU, do you know any?
