nothing like that, thats for sure. I lowered my overclock today because the weather so warm.

My lowest idle was 35C and hottest 68C after 3 hours of GTAV @ 4.3ghz. I havent plugged my wattmeter in with my new GPU, i will do that tmrw.

Same here for my overclock, the outside 18C-22C temperatures have forced me to knock my overclock back to 4.6 GHz @ 1.23 mV. Honestly I don't notice the drop at all but the CPU temps are much better.
 
I'm tryin to get this thing around 4.5GHz stable, but it needs 1.4-1.41V on the Vcore, I'm not sure its worth it. Might aswell leave it at 4.4
 
X79 Xeon combo? Which chip is the one to go for?
 
P9X79 is the MB in question
 
Grazie :D
 
I was thinking if buy something like this:

The problem is that it would be too loud/noisy and for sure it will use more than 700W, one option would be watercooled but that's a lot to do.
 
what would you use it for
suggestion porn Server :) for TPU Members
 
You gonna watch VR porn again? :roll::roll:
 
You might need a diesel generator :rolleyes:o_O

I think that is a bug in HWMonitor. Mine crept up to 27,000 for one core, a refresh reset it back to normal.

I already knew it was a bug/miss read from HWMonitor, I was just being funny with our resident European Badger.
@CAPSLOCKSTUCK
 
HWmonitor and Windows 10 produce funny readings on mine aswell, Win 7 was spot on
 
I have a question for X58 platform.....
Ok,I could possible get mobo Asus P6T but bios on it is an older vers. so if I get this board and xeon(X5660)is it going to boot up with this cpu so that I can change bios later or do I need some old I7 920 first just to change the bios before I insert xeon?

you will more than likely need a 920 to update the bios, i got an asus p6x58d-e with the old bios and i couldnt get it to work without putting a 920 in it even after replacing the bios chip with one with the latest bios on it.

also looking at the odd bit of computex coverage, specifically x299 motherboards of course, they say they will either support the core X or xeons. are they going to be made totally incompatable? before you could drop an extreme edition i7 or a xeon in any x99 board (within reason) workstation or not. itll be a shame to not be able to stick xeons in consumer boards anymore if that is so
 
Hmm.....Thx for the info,then I will probably wait a bit more or stay with my FX for a while.....
 
ill let you have my 920 for a fiver and shipping. i doubt im gonna be getting any other x58 systems in the future
