Dang that's not very promising

What was the limiting factor

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I didnt touch volts with mine.

Im pretty sure i ran them at 4.20 ish to keep temps down.

6c/12th your probably looking at X 5690 to get 5.0ghz though i have never owned one.

I wanted to play around with volts maybe upto 1.45V

I'm using a custom loop so i don't think temps should be a problem

I had FX 8350 @5.4GHz and my loop was able to handle it so the X5650 shouldn't be much of a problem.

Just installed a x5675 (2nd hand) on a sabertooth x58 with a Noctua nh-d14. It runs pretty cool.

It's now crunching at full load, and the tempature is at 45 degrees. I haven't done much oc'ing yet, and
read that it could be difficult with xeons. I probably will look into it next week.

4.6 ghz i reckon and you will find its very easy to achieve.

It's difficult just if your Xeon isn't a good overclockable one or need too much voltage to achieve your goal, otherwise it's easy easy to overclock it, as @CAPSLOCKSTUCK said 4.6GHz shouldn't be a problem.

Not a bad card, i have had one Gainward 580 and it was great.

Had a Gainward 4870 the card it's self was excellent but it did die.

Gainward GTX 480 reference lasted 4 years before dying.

The 580 that i had i bought it in 2011, i gave it to a friend of mine and he is still using it.

[FireFox]

I love the Design of that GPU, i hope is that good as he showed in the benches.

 

[Recon-UK]

Yeah it will be bought as soon as i find work as i'm not in a job right now so in due time.

 

[FireFox]

Mine should be here on Monday.

 

[Durvelle27]

My Xeon X5650 and Kingston 16GB of RAM arrived today

Let the benching begin

Hot damn, that card is going to require 3 slots, got enough room for it? Wouldn't mind access to Gainward, and that other brand in North America.

Yeah it will be bought as soon as i find work as i'm not in a job right now so in due time.

Could always move to Alaska, that way you get payed for staying in Alaska (PFD.)

[Durvelle27]

So far i can't get above 4GHz

And i can't set the ratio above 22

Running Prime95 and the temps haven't broken 55°C

Update: Been running P95 over 20 mintues and so far no core has failed.

@CAPSLOCKSTUCK @dorsetknob @Recon-UK could give you good tips

check power options in windows
(right click start button....2nd option down)

make sure its on high performance

when you say you cant set x22 are you using the + and - keys to do it in BIOS?




EDIT


For reference @silentbogo s X 5650

Good observation

I had the same problem till i found out that i need to use the + and - keys

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

@Durvelle27 if you are setting x22 and it is not holding it try speedstep on and enable all C states.

EDIT


For reference @silentbogo s X 5650

The problem I'm having is when under full load the CPU won't hold the 22 multi. It would drop to 20 keeping me stuck at 4GHz

I have tried everything i could think of but it just won't work

Update: Seems the problem only occurs above x20 multi

Now i currently sit at

x20 multi
215 blck

And it hasn't throttled or crashed

 

[FireFox]

Update: Seems the problem only occurs above x20 multi

Try x19 and increase Blck or try x18

Edit: My 5677 has x26 but i have to use x23

Edit2: which board do you have?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Just because CPUZ shows a multi of x23 on the X5650 it doesnt mean that x23 is available.


i havent seen an example of X 5650 that will hit x 23.......x 22 is the max. no matter what board or BIOS

I wasn't trying to get x23

I was trying to get it to hold at x22
