You stand a better chance of hitting 5.0ghz with X5687.

I say go for it.

I could try to achieve 5.0GHz but it would be just for fun, for 24/7 i would prefer 4.3/4.5, i have the 5677 running at 4.1GHz 1.23V
( Dynamic overclock ) i have tried to push it to 4.5GHz Dynamic but it doesn't work because the low voltage, i have overclocked to 4.5GHz Static and it worked perfectly, now running Dynamic once again.

My X5670 benched at 4.6ghz......i run it at 4.2 so temps stay good.

 

[FireFox]

4.6ghz

Static?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Static for benching then dynamic at 4.2

 

[FireFox]

Static for benching then dynamic at 4.2

Which Voltage while Dynamic?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

i cant remember and im running at static 3.2 till i fix my cooler.

1.316 at static ....4.6
1.197 at static ....3.2

I believe two things:

1 - more GHz less Overclock
2 - single CPU get higher Overclock

That's why i am not sure if buy the 5687.

P.s I have tried all settings possible to make it run 4.2/4.3 but every time it failed

My board came in today

ASUS P6T Deluxe

Sexy.

 

[Durvelle27]

Sexy.

Waiting on my RAM, Radiator, and GPU

I also need to find a PSU

Board came in last night.



Obligatory benchmark pic. Don't have a system pic, that'll come later when I get the case.

After a few BSOD and more than 20 resets i have managed to overclock the X5677 to 4.3GHz on Air.
The only thing that bother me is temperatures, one CPU is running hotter than the other maybe someone of you guys knows something about it.

CPU 0 will always be 5-10 degrees warmer due to the increased load it experiences. No way around it that I'm aware of, you just have to plan for it.

Those CPU's need Water

 

[Fouquin]

Those CPU's need Water

No doubt. Even under water CPU 0 will continue to run warmer however.

That's for sure but at least not that hot.

I have found this on internet:

I usually offset my VCORE to combat this issue, and it works pretty good.

The socket temperature should be kept less than 96 degrees C to avoid damage. (Reference: Intel Xeon Processors 5500/5600 Series -- Thermal/Mechanical

Tested GTA V on my XEON... it literally uses GTA V like it's bitch, over 90FPS in one of the sections and never dropping below 59FPS! And my 670 is the bottleneck lol.

Driving through city i hover around 66-75FPS o.o

 

[FireFox]

my 670 is the bottleneck

My 750TI is the bottleneck on my system too, a few days ago i was playing Titanfall and after i closed the game i got a warning from Windows telling me to change to windows classic in order to have better performance

Edit: I can't even play at 2560 x 1440

Uploading vid of this... was not expecting such a high frame rate in this game as it's very CPU heavy.. regardless i have population sliders maxed, high grass settings, tesselation and most things on Very high - High and normal textures due to 2GB Vram.

Card is always pegged but FPS is way above what i was expecting.


My CPU comes between the 4690K and 4790K.

Not too sure why because well the 4790K should be a lot better.

 

[FireFox]

60 FPS?
Love it

I'm still waiting for the Evga 1080 but it's not available till next month

 

[Recon-UK]

 

[FireFox]

Nice video plus 60+ FPS

Xeons rock

 

[Durvelle27]

Coming together nicely

Also ordered a XFX RX 480 GTR to go along with my chip

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Ace.

Love the dangling fan btw....
