A bit like Some Nvidia graphic cards and that slow 512 meg of mem :):):)

Welp I plan to add 2 more sticks to make 24Gb. So I forgot all about it.

Sometimes i forget that the SR2 it's not a Server Board:shadedshu:

We don't and as necessary we will remind you
Now About those Server boards that are usefully Overclockable
have you got your list for us ???

I'M Intrested got a pair of X5650 that i would love to have on one Overclockable Board

ps hint when u give up on your SR2.....................................................:)

Not overclockable Server Boards but Workstation Boards
Knoxx29 had a Duel socket 2011 but could not overclock it and he Could not even remember it To "List" :)

I never had a dual socket 2011 Board, single socket:slap:

I stand partially corrected o_O:p
 
Of course if you want to play with older stuff you have:

-Intel D5400XS Skulltrail
-Asus L1N64-SLI (lol Quad-FX)
-Asus KFN5-D SLI
-Asus K8N-DL
-MSI K8N Master2-FAR
-MSI K8T Master2-FAR

Most of that is off-topic AMD stuff, but still. Fun to play with.

Also pretty sure you can stickermod or pin mod 1333MHz FSB 771 Xeons to run at 1600MHz on dual socket boards that support the faster bus speed.
 
Once you go dual socket, you can never go back to just the one.
 
Hi lads.

Two days ago i have OC'ed my CPU's at 4.5GHz, since then i have been playing Games for hours and hours and no crash or BSOD, I have used Aida Stability test for more than 2 hours no crash no BSOD but when i run Prime95 after 15 minutes BSOD.

@dorsetknob said that Prime95 it's for testIng CPU's at stock speed and not for OC'ed CPUs.

What should i believe, it's my System stable or unstable?
 
Hello guys. Just signed in as Im planing on taking a step to a xeon and cant find a answer for my question.So im going to make a small micro atx workstation (4x32gb ram) and a e5 2690v4.Its going to be used for intense photogrametry rendering and game dev(unreal engine).I see that the base clock is kind of low 2.6ghz and my question is, does this thing turbo boost always.For example in unreal engine (or a game)it will most probably use 2-4 cores for the testing/game purposes.Can i expect to see this to turboboost to 3ghz and stay there during work?
The reason im asking is because most xeons i see on youtube when playing a game(for example) i see them stay at their base clocks.(im not sure if turbo boost is activated in bios,but by deffault i think it shoud be)
Cheers

Like i said before...dont run P95.
 
It is stable till you run P 95. When you use it in real world it is fine.
Your system is stable.

If running P95 is important to you reduce your clock speed and try again.

Or

Uninstall P 95 and enjoy your gaming.
 
Knoxx29
Some people will "Run Prime 95" on their overclocked System for 1 hr and be Satisfied that its Stable Because it did not crash.

Others run prime 95 till it crashes on an overclocked System and then fret that their system is unstable because it crashed. ( "Doh it Crashed after 8 hours is my System Stable ")
You seem to be in the second Camp ( take mogadon and dont worry so much )

As Said before Prime 95 is intended for non overclocked Systems Ie "STOCK SYSTEMS" to STRESS Test for instability in NON OVERCLOCKED CPU's.
Overclockers use Prime 95 to gauge if their System is Stable Enough to use

How many times have you read the Advice
Raise the clock speed
Then run prime 95
if it dont crash
Keep increaseing the speed and retest till it Crashes then decrease the Speed slightly
test if it then does not crash you have your MAX Overclock.

AGAIN PRIME 95 IS A STOCK STABILITY TESTING TOOL

You may not see full all-core turbo unless your cores are loaded heavily enough. If you find this is a problem for some applications, particularly games, you can use something like system explorer to set and retain affinity and priority settings so you are more likely to turbo when running them.

Also, is that E5-2690 v4 an ES proc? If it is, make sure it's a QS or QA proc as early steppings could be buggy. Got burned a while back with some "E5-2667 v3" procs that were cut-down 14-cores with the 35MB cache, these procs would boost across all cores and then for no reason at all just down-clock to 12x multiplier while under full load. Essentially, completely useless.

Luckily I was able to get a full refund on them.

Most games don't seem to be properly optimized for multiple threads, and even the ones that are multi-threaded do not seem to be able to utilize the threads fully. Exception to this is Battlefield 1, that game utilized 8 threads pretty effectively and utilizes GPU very well. The previous couple BF games may also be the same.

Fallout 4 seems to utilize about 8 threads max, but the game is poorly optimized so it runs like shit whether you are getting full turbo or not. I restrict it to 8 threads and it seems to do well enough on my current E5-2690-0 build.
