I was thinking about punchasing a Xeon x5675 that i found around 108€ and upgrade my gpu to a r9 fury x because i fear a bottleneck with my currect w3520.
What should i do guys?

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Nov 26, 2016

You should move to a more recent platform. All 1366 CPUs will throttle that GPU.

Perhaps i should add, maybe not by a significant amount but all the same i dont think it is a good way to go if gaming is your priority.

dorsetknob · Nov 26, 2016

your mb supports it
its faster
more Cores
if its in reach of your Wallet then go for it
You will not regret the upgrade

Wot Caps recommending moving from 1366 :roll:

Yeh its true but a X5675 = less of a bottleneck than a W3520

I was looking for a much newer build like a i7 3930k but the x79 motherboards are gone,only a no brand one i have found.
So if a more powerfull cpu is in need il think about it thanks XD.

I know. I felt a chill as i was typing...

.

I just think that to get the best out of the GPU, which will be by far the most expensive component, it would be better served by a more recent chipset.

X 5675 is a monster CPU @Knoxx29 will confirm that. 4.6 - 7 ghz on 12 threads is not to be sniffed at.

The last GPU i will put in my Xeon system will be GTX 970.

@Capitan Harlock

if you are local to the UK you should PM @RCoon, he has good parts for sale

Durvelle27 · Nov 26, 2016

I think I'm in need of a new PSU

Thanks but unfortunately i'm from Italy so

FilipM · Nov 26, 2016

My memory synthetic benchmarks show around 2000MB/S less with the 12GB kit vs the 6GB kit...can anyone explain that? Subtimings, IMC?

PS.

Ferrum Master · Nov 26, 2016

Hey about that Xeon Bid... who will participate. We do not need a useless fight... And DO NOT increase the price now, one dork already did it.

FilipM · Nov 26, 2016

I am out of funds at the moment, I posted it for you guys since I think the price is nice

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Nov 26, 2016

It will double in price in the next 2 days.

I agree with that.

I am shocked :twitch:

That's true.

Or a X5677, cost way less than a X5675, but if he is obsessed about 6 cores CPU than X5675.

That's right.

The X5675 it's the best Xeon CPU i have.

Too honest.

Durvelle27 · Nov 27, 2016

I'm thinking about replacing my Xeon X5650 with a Xeon E5-2650

What do you guys think ?

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Nov 27, 2016

What are you going to use it for?

Coding
Video Editing (4K)
Gaming
Video streaming (4K)
VR Gaming
etc.....

Capitan Harlock · Nov 28, 2016

I have found at a good price a combo with motherboard and cpu , the cpu is a Xeon e5 1620 is a 4 core with 8 threads that would be good for a r9 fury x?

FilipM · Nov 30, 2016

I can't see why it should not be good. Is that chip overclockable like the normal K series, considering it is LGA2011?

X58's memory performance seems to fall off 6GB vs 12GB of RAM:

4200MHz and 6GB DDR3 1600 (9-9-9-24-1N)

4300MHz and 12GB DDR3 1600 (9-9-9-27-1N)

However, during gaming my FPS have become much more steady now, plus loading times went noticeably down.

The E5 1xxx and E5 1xxx V2 chips are, to the best of my knowledge, unlocked. V1 is SB-EP and V2 is IVB-EP. When you get into the 2xxx chips is when you'll find that almost all chips are locked down, only specific ES chips in this range are unlocked.

That's right.

I have had a 2670 and all what i got was 3.4GHz

I refreshed it with 1866 RAM
