Still not certain about the v2s yet.... I can get a 1660 v1 as well, might do alright. Fun part will be finding a mobo with 8 ram slots....

check my system specs. the RIVE and E5-1650 setup is running @4.5Ghz daily on 1.315vcore. Also will easily hit 5Ghz

Yep, pulling the trigger on a 1650 then.....

Hi

I’m new to this forum and building servers in general. I recently got given a hp ML350 G6 and was wondering if it would be possible to put a graphics card in it. It has duel 750w power supply's 48 gb of DDR3 memory and duel Xeons not sure what kind yet, I still need to find out the rest of the system specs. It’s got the basic hp ML350 G6 motherboard. Would it be possible to put a rx 480 or a 1050 ti in the system assuming I could power it using cable adaptors?


Thanks, aussamc

Check which cpus it has first or you may be in for a disapointing experience.


it has PCI- e x16 so it will work.

Hi, I'm looking to pull the trigger on a X5675, I'm currently using my trusty 920@4ghz but it really struggles in the open 64p maps in BF1.

I'm not even sure what kinds of gains to really expect or if it's even worth the bother at this stage of the game. lol I'm a little late to the party so to speak. It's really the minimum frame that's the concern as I'm pushing a XB270HU 1440p 144hz on a gtx1080. I'm guessing even @4.4ghz oc on the Xeon I'll prolly still be dropping frames quite a bit. I'm currently hitting about 70% Gpu usage on the 920 in said maps.

Anybody using a 1440p display playing Bf1 on a 1070 1080 with X56xx? If so whats your gpu usage in a map like Empire's Edge?

I dont have that GPU, i dont have a 144hz monitor and i dont play that game, however; to fully utilize your 1080 you need to consider an upgrade to a more recent gen socket.


Sad but true.........


On the flip side, your motherboard and cpu still fetch good prices and combined with the cost of the X5675 you should still be able to afford a tidy upgrade. Pretty soon plenty of Intel owners will be offloading their rigs when they move to Ryzen so there should be a glut in used ( but still excellent) Intel parts.

Got an e5-1650 coming now. Really need to find a good mobo. If anyone has a good deal on an x79 mobo like a rive, please msg me. I have a US address it could be sent to as well.

hey all. so i found an asus P6T Deluxe v1 for a hell of a lot less than most X58 boards on ebay. is it worth chasing or is there a reason P6Ts go for cheaper than something like a GA-X58 from gigabyte?

every Xeon i put in P6T deluxe overclocked by at least 50%. You wont be disapointed.

@lyra take out the reference to the shop from your post or someone else might buy it.

hey guys...i am new here..just wanted help regarding the current spec i am thinking of going for. there are 2 options i have.

1. intel xeon x5660, z800 casing, 16gb ddr3 500gb hd 128 ssd with r9 290 sapphire tri-x. psu of 800 W
2. alienware m18x r2 which has an intel i7-3rd gen and radeon 7970 crossfire.

which one would be better for gaming and future proof...kindly assist me.

 

[dorsetknob]

2. alienware m18x r2 which has an intel i7-3rd gen and radeon 7970 crossfire.

Probably better for future proofing with a Graphics Upgrade

 

[naveed88]

Probably better for future proofing with a Graphics Upgrade

what i failed to mention..xeon is a desktop pc while the alienware is a laptop.

 

[dorsetknob]

alienware is a laptop.

Then allow me to revise my suggestion

1. intel xeon x5660, z800 casing, 16gb ddr3 500gb hd 128 ssd with r9 290 sapphire tri-x. psu of 800 W

Go for the Desk top PC there are more options available over time for you to Spend money upgrading
Lap tops while handy have limited upgrade potential ( more ram / SSD and thats about it )
It may be older tech but its still very viable even today
just look at some of the I7 and Xeon 56** Overclocks in this thread and the I7 club thread
If you get the X5660 you get a 6 core 12 thread Cpu which with the right cooling can clock to over 4 GHz
and up to 24gig of triple channel mem
you got a system that will be ok for a few years

thx alot. my budget right now allows me r9 290 tri x sapphire which from what ive heard is a good card if not a top tier contender...what worries me is the single x5660..m not getting anything more than this one. would this card hold well with sapphire..would it bottleneck the system..and would it run the latest games on at least medium to high settings.

your motherboard will be the problem.

 

[naveed88]

how exactly..can u brief on it plz and a possible solution. i am going for a hpz800 workstation xeon x5660 setup.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

to get the best from the Xeon you need to overclock it, you cant o/c on your motherboard so you will be limited to the boost speed of 3.2ghz. Thiis will probably be fine for most games but as i think you are aware this is likely to cause a bottleneck on the system.

With an enthusiasts board and adequate cooling 4.4 -4.5 ghz is possible.

ohhh i did not knw that...though z800's would be oc'able out of the box...ill have to rethink now.

if there are 2 cpus in the HP you could sell one and that would part fund a different motherboard and cooler.

 

[FilipM]

I'm sitting at 4403MHz all day long now, gaming, office, work, internets, hasn't put a foot wrong... and I'm surprised there is still room to spare on this W3520...I'm kind of waiting to see what AMD comes up with but I'll probably go the X5650 route soon.

hey, im still looking for x58 boards to house my xeon x5672

i found this on ebay and the seller said i could have it for £30

does this look like a fatal wound to a socket?
i guess its thermal paste, do you think its salvagable with a thorough alcohol wash?~

should i do it?

Socket pins look fine considering it's age. I'd go for it for that small amount of cash.

 

[Killerdroid]

I could be wrong but I'm almost certain that I've seen 1650v2 with unlocked multi and 1660s as well.

EDIT: Check here http://hwbot.org/benchmark/cpu_freq...Id=processor_3787&cores=6#start=0#interval=20
It appears that the E5-1650 v1,v2,v3 are all overclockable.

Now I want to get rid of my E5-2670v1 and purchase one of these.
