Xeon Owners Club

It goes further, but the voltage required isn't worth it to me.

I need to get my board swapped out so I can get the Xeon chip running, I'll loose some single threading due to clocks, but damn I can't wait to see that multithreaded bench.

no not at all doing it wrong but the reason why my temps are surprising?

"Caution: The NH-L12 is a low-profile quiet cooler designed for use in small form factor cases and HTPC environments. While it provides first rate performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking and should be used with care on CPUs with more than 95W TDP (Thermal Design Power). Please consult our TDP guidelines to find out whether the NH-L12 is recommended for your CPU."

That's impressive considering the cooler...really impressive mines on water for comparison (albeit fans are set to silent for that run)

That's a beautful PC mate well done

Thanks I am swapping some stuff around it will be this board and a 2650 V4 ES chips shortly. I am hoping that it works well together and the single thread performance drop wont be much. I also ordered 3 slim 120mm fans in hopes to get GPU temps down some. Damn AMD cards.

I'm sure it will all come together nicely,

Yes Especially if you can get them to go for free postage

Postage is free

 

[dorsetknob]

Go for it then and later you can recoup some of the cost by offloading your W3540 xeon

Unlocked?

Unlocked?

Don't think so. It's for rendering rig, so I have little intention to fiddle around.

Didn't you forget a fan under the GPU

Nope it's attached to bottom of case xD

Along side the Xeon X5650 i picked up some new RAM. Kingston HyperX 16GB(4x4GB) DDR3

Hopefully i have everthing done by next week

 

[biffzinker]

Those poor unappreciated sticks of RAM deserve a fan.

Got a Xeon X5460 to replace a Pentium E5400. Not bad considering it was $15.

I'm curious, does anyone here have the Xeon X5698? Surprised to see Intel set the clock speed at 4.4 GHz in 130 watt TDP.

While ago i wanted to buy one but it's not worth to pay 330€+ for 2 cores.

Damn, missed the 2 Cores/4 Threads. I guess that explains how it manages 130 watts.

Have you seen how much they were?.....$ 1,245.00

Been honest i was thinking that maybe and i say maybe wouldn't be a bad idea to buy a X5698 for benches and to have some fun overclocking it

 

[Recon-UK]

Should hit 6 gigz on that bitch pretty easily

They overclock pretty nicely too, if you have the right motherboard.

I have a E5450 and i'm sure I could get it over 4Ghz if I didn't have a crappy G41 motherboard.

I was getting a 400fsb easily on my old G31, even with the stock cooler (just not stable) until the mobo died

 

[Durvelle27]

Thanks for the care package from Stinger

I got some IC Diamond to play around with

Hoping to hit 5GHz on the X5650 on all cores with HT on

Best i got was 4.475 ghz and I've owned 3 of them.
