Xeon Owners Club

[dorsetknob]

any one got the 6 core X5645 been hunting for one (or even a pair) for a while
seems price wise they fetch similer money as the X5650
do they overclock as well as the X5650 ?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I just put the E 5640 in

 

[MIRTAZAPINE]

Just dropping by I can't wait for the skylake xeons. Finally and overclock-able updated xeon that would replace the westmere architecture. Plus points for intel reintroducing bclk overclocking and board partners double crossing intel releasing board supporting overclock like supermicro. Lol supermicro, what have you done. I thought you are on intel side being the biggest server board partner with intel. I just need a job to get those babies. Sigh could just put this on my wishlist.

Not my just a review about how to build a xeon rig here. Still reading still, may update the comment. Its a tiny baby xeon monster! It is a quad core and it beats the i7 3960x!

LOOK..................XEON..........

Hey what clockspeed are you at for this. I have been trying to compare how my opteron sits (yes I know this is the Xeon clubhouse)

Sorry for the late reply.
Btw the clock speed was 3.06GHz

 

[dorsetknob]

i could have told him that by looking at your picture then again he could have looked at your picture himself
all the info was there he just not bothered to look

Thanks was just curious how those compared, I need to play with mine more.

The one I linked says 2.5ghz on cinebench if you look closely at the cpuz you will notice it was at 4.2, that however is just a middle boost clock normal clock on the chips was set to 3.8. This is why I asked.I didn't assume because I have used cinebench and know it doesn't record anything but the stock clock.

sorry but you linked to

that says 3.07ghz and no CPUz screen shots

No my post which is above links to my capture, it shows both cpuz and the cinebench. There is only what a 1700mhz disparity between them? I made my post based off of what I know about cinebench it makes sense if you have ever run cinebench.

 

[dorsetknob]

you asked knoxx what his speed was
It was in his cinbench pic he confirmed it to 3.06ghz
end of story
you either ignored what the picture said or you did not look properly

Cinebench said 3.06, cinebench isn't exactly the most reliable way to get cpuz info. This is why places such as hwbot require cpuz to be included in the screenshot. I read the stock speed of the cpu and asked if that was what it was actually at. Why this is causing you (someone who has nothing to do with this at all) heartache is beyond me. He answered my question which I appreciate. You? Don't really need the stupid postings.

 

[DarthBaggins]

would love to play w/ a Xeon after seeing my 5930k in Cinebench (Thanks to HWBOT I tend to always include a CPU-Z and GPU-Z App open in my screenshots)

The Xeon below you

is 2 Xeons

 

[DarthBaggins]

well then I need to acquire a pair o' Xeons lol

Knocking on @silentbogo 's door................look out Buddy.

EDIT.. KNOCKING LOUDER

[silentbogo]

Oh crap! He's about to beat me with 4MHz CPU

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I need 11 more points.....


i have cooling adjustments to make.......see you soon, if not, something went wrong..

EDIT @silentbogo the first submission was 4.410. Hwbot hasnt recorded it correctly.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Job DONE

I am going to take out the X5650 and put the X5670 back in with my new (to me) H100 on my ASUS board.

hello all,

this is my first post and i'm by no means as well informed as you seem to be regarding xeons, so please be kind !

i've got a relatively small secure storage warehouse that i monitor with 16 cameras. i currently have an hp proliant ml110 gen 7 (dual xeon e3-1240) that has been running some video management software, but it's starting to have some reliability issues and so i have begun to look at replacements. with the 16 cameras and monitoring software, it runs at about 60-70% load.

i'd like to stay with dual xeons as they've performed really well, but the hp has been a pain for a variety of reasons and i am happy enough to retire it to pasture. i've been thinking about putting a dual xeon motherboard into a fractal design r5 node 804 (the case looks well built, has tons of storage capacity and seems to be well planned for ventilation), and am interested in your opinions about the various components that might be used to give me a system that'll handle the load comfortably and run both quiet(ish)ly and at a reasonably cool temperature. in terms of budget, i don't have any particular figure in mind; i'd rather get a decent solution than build down to a price and regret that later.

from what i've compiled so far, i'm thinking about:

- a motherboard that could support thunderbolt 3 as well as dual xeons
- maybe something like noctua nh-u9dx i4 coolers
- an asus strix evga gtx 960
- a creative sound blaster audigy rx
- a samsung 850 evo series 250gb ssd m2 version
- kingston 32GB ecc pc4-17000 KVR21L15Q4/32 x 2

i'd be grateful for any constructive comments and suggestions - am i thinking about a decent (and matched) set of components; which xeons and motherboard would people recommend; etc ?

thanks for your feedback

 

[dorsetknob]

are you sure of your current specs???
intel says that Cpu is single socket only and you say yours is duel
http://ark.intel.com/products/52273/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1240-8M-Cache-3_30-GHz

What is your location so members can suggest prices and places to purchase from

 

[WiseOldElf]

you're absolutely right and i'm wrong - apologies, i was thinking of something else

 

[WiseOldElf]

so maybe I am being too selective, as i can't seem to find a board that supports twin xeons and thunderbolt. rats...

if i was to look at a single xeon, would anyone be able to offer a suggestion regarding a 'sweet spot' motherboard and xeon combination that would fit the other requirements, including thunderbolt 3 ?

thanks

 

[dorsetknob]

single socket server board with thunderbolt

view this and i will see what else i can find

ps what is your location again

This one is duel CPU and thunderbolt

Review here

thunderbolt can be added as a plug in card into other motherboards it does not have to be part of the motherboard
