One of you lucky guys or gals

Csn take the bundle off my hands for only $215

Someone pickup

Hey guys,

I think I may end up going with the quad core option since it has a higher clock rate and as stated they are cheaper - would it still be good for use with virtualbox though? (Assuming there is two of them, so 8 cores)

Does it crash when playing?

FilipM · Dec 16, 2016

It did once. I will move it back to 4.3 and leave it there...or maybe 4.4

What is the max safe QPI voltage for a Bloomfield chip?

Hey Guys,

I also want to join the Xeon Club

My Setup currently consists of:

i7 920 @ 3.5 GHz
Gigabyte EX58-UD5
GTX 680 2GB
12 Gb RAM @1600 MHz

I want to exchange the i7 for a Xeon X5650/70.
I could get a new X5650 for 99 Euro with 24 months warranty or I could get a used X5670 with 12 months warranty for 85 Euro.

Which one should I get?
I also want to overclock the CPU. So would it be better to go for the X5670 then or go for the new X5650 and maybe risk less overclocking potential?

If I should grab the X5650 I will have to order soon since there is only one new one for that price left in stock.

I will also replace my GTX680 for a GtX1070 once it drops from 400 Euro to 350. Otherwise I may go for a GTX1060 instead.

Any advice is much appreciated

welcome to TPU

that's some warranty Are you sure you do not mean Months rather than years

Yes, of course months (not years). Sorry for the typo.

Any advice on which CPU I should get under the circumstances mentioned above?

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Dec 26, 2016

Get X5670, its faster and cheaper.

Even though the X5650 is completely new with 24 month warranty (instead of 12) and the difference is only 15 Euro?

Or does the X5670 in general offer better overclocking potential so it would be the better choice?

If the overclocking capabilities are nearly the same would then the X5650 be the better choice?

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Dec 26, 2016

warranty against what?

X5670 is a 2.9 ghz cpu. I run mine at 4.6ghz............i think i invalidated my warranty...

heres my X5650.....nearly as good but not quite.

Fully agree with @CAPSLOCKSTUCK
Clocked higher at Stock
with decent Cooling X5670 should overclock higher than the Damm good X5650
well worth the Extra 15 Euros (warranty Diff not really relevant with these older CPU's) and as Caps said if you overclock it (and you will

) there is no warranty

Ok, the X5670 is even the cheaper one (but it is not new).

I will probably go with the X5670 then so that i may get a better chip and have some more multplier options for OC.

My current cooler is a Noctua NH‑U‑12P SE2 so I should probably have some room for overclocking

Just need to get some new thermal paste and cleaning liquids.

Hey guys, sorry
Y if I'm hijacking a thread, I have recently inherented a ml350 gen 8 server and I'm thinking of turning it into a gaming rig (if it's possible ) I figured this would be the best place to ask.

As mentioned it's a hp ml350 gen 8
Not sure how much ram yet but I believe it has a xeon 2640 v2 processor. It's running server 2012 at the moment as well. Can I make something useful for gaming/vr with this? Is there anyway to put a gtx 1080 in it? Or are there no compatable drivers around.

No problems with drivers however the power supply might be an issue? Was just looking over this PDF: https://www.hpe.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04128239.pdf

The entry level Pre-configured Models only have a HP 460W Common Slot Gold Hot Plug Power Supply. It might be enough for a Geforce GTX 1080 considering HP mentions the Tesla Compute cards.

Each ML350p server will accommodate up to three NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla GPU PCIe cards for high-end QUADRO® graphics and accelerated high performance computing.

Ok , I'll look into the power supply. As a gaming rig is this worth fixing up? Would adding a second 2640 make it good enough? I love the idea of running the xeon but that 2640 that's in it seems slow. Now I'm new to xeon, but everything I find so far tells me they aren't over clockable is that the case?

The 2640 V2 already has 8 cores/16 threads so if you could you'd be better off overclocking. The only overclocking you can do is on the motherboards base clock from 100 MHz to if your lucky 105 MHz giving you 105x20=2,100 MHz for the Xeon.

WiCkEdOnE · Jan 2, 2017

My X5670 arrived on Saturday and I already installed it yesterday.
So far everything works fine.
I have not overclocked this baby yet but even on stock settings Battlefield 4 runs great and also the benchmarks look promising ;-)

I also want to upgrade the graphic card since I still have a GTX680 with just 2GB VRAM.
Should i go for a GTX1060 (6GB) or a GTX1070 (8GB)?

The GTX 1060 would cost me ~250 € while the GTX 1070 is still at ~400€.

Or should I wait a few more weeks to get a GTX 1070 at a lower price tag (e. g. when AMDs Vega generation comes out)?

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Jan 4, 2017

Cinebench R15

7700k @4.5............998
X5670 @4,5..........1035
