Me on GTA V, just driving around

X 5670 @ 4.4ghz
HD 7970 1070/1450

Sorry just bored while waiting for the rest of my system to show up... think I took a better pic of my xeon this time:

 

[FilipM]

Ordered the X5660, due to the higher base multi on 21...I don't want to crossflash the board and the 21 base multi won't give me turbo throttling issues, while still retaining decent QPI speed. Yay

I might have a gem of an W3520 for sale soon (4410MHz at 1.35-1.36V), will let you know.

I never complain about taxes and import duties in front of Europeans.

 

[johnspack]

It begins! Just stock for now:

 

[johnspack]

Well that was easy, already blows my x5650 out of the water:

 

[johnspack]

Nope, didn't get temps like this on my x58 xeon:

 

[johnspack]

I'm only at 4ghz, but I have a lot of headroom left... coming for this cpu!

 

[FilipM]

What is the max Vcore/QPI voltage for Westmere-ep? I've found 1.4/1.4 in an official intel datasheet, is this correct?

45nm parts have 1.55/1.35 respectably

New here, and interested in some of the things a xeon can do. I don't have a sr-2 or sr-x, but I got a dell precision t5500 for almost nothing ($100), dropped in 2 x5560's and 18gb of ecc ram, and a gtx 660. I do video editing, some rendering and of course, gaming. Haven't had any problems with it and it handles all the games I play. I was using an fx6300 and these old dual xeons blows my old system away.

Couldn't be more happy by the upgrade to x5675 from my old 920. Great overclocker and much less heat. 100% stable @4.4 and 1.33 volt. Runs BF1 great, 20 to 25fps gains and runs my 1080 at 99%. I'll post some other screens later on. I should have grabbed a couple in BF1 with my 920 to show the compare.

Really glad I stumbled across this thread.

What kind of performance did you get on stock speeds with the 5675? Will probably upgrade to dual 6 cores but want to see if the performance is worth the upgrade to 12 cores from 8. I cant overclock on my board so knowing stock performance in real life would be helpful.

2 x5560'

Those are rated 2.83GHz, the 5675 are rated 3.06GHz turbo 3.46GHz, but because you have a dual socket board i suggest you the 5677, first because are cheap and second because are rated 3.46GHz turbo 3.73GHz

 

[that_asian_guy]

So the faster 8 cores will be better than the slower 12 cores?

Well personally i would prefer 8 faster cores than 12 slower.

 

[that_asian_guy]

Well personally i would prefer 8 faster cores than 12 slower.

They are cheaper, and will probably run cooler....

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Well personally i would prefer 8 faster cores than 12 slower.

me too.

 

[johnspack]

How 'bout 6 really fast ones? I may have a cherry here, still at 1.33 max but 1.28 nominal due to LLC. May get to 4.5 with this, but as long as I can stay under 1.35v, I'll be happy.

 

[johnspack]

Realized my cache speeds were too low... needed more cpu speed! Still at 1.33v.

That's socket 2011 and you can OC on your Board, he has socket 1366 and he can't OC with the board he has.

 

[johnspack]

Well, that sucks. I never would have gone 1366 and xeon if I couldn't oc! That's where I got the bug to oc xeons!! Next, 1650v2 or 1680v2......

 

[that_asian_guy]

I got the T5500 for almost nothing....2011 boards are insanely expensive as are 1366 boards and dual socket boards are even more. 1366 xeons are generally cheap and having a dual socket made it even more appealing. The T5500 has been a solid pc so far and these 1366 xeons are rock solid. Maybe in the near future ill invest in a 2011 board, would love to get back into OCing. Until then ill work the hell out of this t5500.

Let's say i am a 1366 Dual socket Board Fanboy

Here is my Lover.

Nice board!! Literally need a house to house it

That's the second SR-2 i have bought in the last 7 months

It has been in the box since i bought it
