I have E5620 on the shelf but i am aiming for X5687 if the BIOS plays nice. I know the E5620 will do 4.0ghz but i want a stab at 5.0ghz.

@CAPSLOCKSTUCK,
Looks great in my opinion (ecstatics) although I probably lack the knowlage to know Just how good IT is ;-). Though 5.0 sounds amazing 4.4 is my max (for cooling at least).

Just another question has anyone ever had a x58 board fail? And is there some kind of life expectancy? Because these boards are Getting pretty old or are these boards that reliable?

Kind Regards,
Techninja.

X58's rarely fail...*knocks on wood*... still going strong since 2009 :)


On a side note:

GTX1080 - 535 Eur

GTX1080 Ti - 740 Eur


What should I go for? I can sell my GTX1060 for ~250.

Wouldn't you bottleneck you x58? I know this isn't an answer but i dont know the answer tot be fair... Though privé/performance wise: 535 x 1.35 = ~€720 out of my head si that would really matter. I think it depends on your resolution and money you want to spend. Getting ~€250 for a second hand 1060 might be a problem as far as i know.

To be honest i'm still not sure:
Schermopname (15).png


Although Aida seems to detect my ram also at 700/1400 mhz...

Schermopname (16).png Schermopname (17).png Schermopname (18).png Schermopname (19).png Schermopname (15).png

Don't think these are the same benchmarks though the write speed seems to be the same. But these results also don't seem conclusive. Any thoughts or possible answers are welcome :).

Thanks for your help and time,

Techninja.

I know there will be / might be some bottleneck, but I do alot of sim racing on a tripple screen set (5760x1080), and I have to lower some of the graphics down, especially in full grids and packed races...and i think I will gain more than doing a CPU/MB/RAM.

Regarding ram performance, what is your NB speed?

I'm not sure which clock is the nothbridge in my bios. Seem tot use all kinds of different names compared tot most mobos i've seen.But on page 96 you can see all my bios settings.

Looking at you resolutie (triple monitor) more gpu is always nice though like In said before i dont know if the cpu Will be able to use that power. Beside that I really dont know what frame you Will get now on a 1080 maybe nice to research? I assume you use 60Hz So that may determine your choise? Looking at it from a economical perspective "frames will likely get cheaper every generation" . So that might be a reason to go for a cheaper gpu because in the future you will probably pay less for each frame.

Little bit shorter but i think more useful ;-)

Looking at it from a economical perspective "frames will likely get cheaper every generation" (of you understand what mean?). So that might be a reason to go for a cheaper gpu because in the future you will probably pay less for each frame (if that makes sense?). But this theory is depending a lot at improvement and competition which needs to be as strong as if now is regarding AMD/Nvidia to make cheap frames and does not take in consideration the 2e hand value of you gpu. I'm don't have the knowlage to say for certain which gpu Will hold the best value over time. I suspect the cheaper one because of can loose less value although i've seen in reality that "legaxy" of a card can mean it keeps it's value better.
Though the last economical points arent really Clear because i cant predict the future (my glass ball stoped working today). It MIGHT (???) help you choise at least it did my best trying to look at a few possible views.

I hope it is usefull information. (Sorry pretty long :))


can you add your specs please, it makes life so much easier for everyone

I have a GTX1060 and all of the benchmarks report no/very little bottleneck. Will move to 1080/1080Ti soon.

My son is having this board. To start its having E5620. 8gb ddr3. HD7970 and Extreme freezer pro cooler with cx500 psu.

I saw a X5670 sell for £36.00 on ebay today....i should have bought it....mine was 70.00....:banghead:

You may want to look at AliExpress it's $50 it may only take a little longer. But why a 5670 and not a 5650?

£ 36.00 is $ 46.00 .....:)

i was looking for X5687 but the X5670 caught my eye as being a particulary good buy.


I've had 3 X5650 and currently use a X5670. The quad would be for my sons pc...we are aiming for 5.0 ghz with it

Yeah its none ECC sorry my bad. I never seen such tinny memory sticks in my life. Edit how ever it does support it
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117231

This is the specs for my CPU
ECC Memory Support With the integrated DDR3 memory controller, the Intel Xeon X5650 processor enables three channels of ECC DDR3 memory, resulting in up to 32GB/sec memory bandwidth.

yeah i have a xeon but it didnt work on a consumer motherboard :/ perhaps ill try and fiddle around with something until it works one day but im pretty happy with jsut 12gb of normal at the moment

i still dont get why they dont work. they have the exact same number of pins and the memory controller is on the cpu, perhaps some bios fanagling would force it to work?

if your mate in the woods takes too long you can borrow mine.

how are you planning on hitting 5ghz? are you gonna go full wet with loads of radiators? cause my one chucks out a looot of heat, i could barely get it past 4ghz before it started hitting 90 on my big air cooler. but maybe i just have crappy silicon :/

Straight from manual :
Note:
DO NOT populate DIMM2, DIMM4 and DIMM6. The system will not
boot when DIMM is installed in one of these sockets.
Basics :
ALL Nehalem based systems CANNOT BOOT from secondary DIMM's (usually the ones on left for each channel, check MB's Manual for exact info), if at least one of the primary DIMM slots isn't populated with RAM module.
That is by design, and there are no exceptions to this rule.
