5.2ghz on 2 cores and i havent even overclocked it......


i love hwmon

 

[Duality92]

dafuuu?

5.2 and 5.6? lol

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

i didnt even see the 5.6ghz

hahahahahahahahahaha even better.

 

[Duality92]

god status. You'll take over hwbot with that.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

17 Ghz ..........WORLD DOMINATION....

 

[Duality92]

all the single coar performanz.

I think this beats yours Caps, HWMonitor. 27046MHz FTW.

Try just shooting some isopropyl in the slot with a spray bottle after dusting it very gently with a small art paint brush (don't want to bend DIMM pins). Let it dry a day and retry, it might just still work.

Triple channel boards also sometimes had problems when the CPU cooler was on too tight, it'd cause warping and some slots to not work.

i pulled them all out (again), gave them a wipe (again) and swapped them around, l just reinstalled them and they are all working fine.

i have it at 4.0 ghz and the mem is at 1560. My mate is dropping off a spare soundcard later so i will start using it for a while. I found the 1 TB WD Caviar green and i have just installed W 7. I will probably put W 10 on it when i get bored later.

@Caring1

i might start a 75.0 Ghz club on TPU


pretty good score on WEI too

 

[Duality92]

WEI master race.

Request HWBot to add it as a benchmark.

You aint quite reached 75GHz close tho

i cant wait to tell my wife and kids.

 

[Duality92]

I told mine, they looked me wierd.

Maybe it was because my phrase started with "OMGz HE GOT ALL THE MEGAHURTZ, ..."

Can i join the club?
but, it should be named 1k giga hurts

Any idea if a HP z400 X58 motherboard supports a xeon 5620 CPU or a X5650 ( or any X56** series CPU)
found a board with a W3503 2.40 GHz reasonably local for £15 (2 core CPU fitted but will take a 4 core up to W3570 3.20 GHz, 8MB cache, 1333 memory, 6.4 GT/s QPI, Quad-Core, HT,Turbo

board is rev 2 and comes with
586968-001 HP Workstation Z400 Motherboard System Board
CPU INTEL XEON W3503 2.40 GHz
2x ram samsung 2gb pc-3-10600e-09-10-e1

i have a duel xeon e5606 server that i am planing on putting a graphics card into. is the e5606 a good enough cpu to run some games at medium settings

 

[lyra]

is the SR-2 the only dual socket 1366 board that overclocks? do you have to use setFSB on all the others? cause i have a dual socket board from my old server that could be used if games start gaining significant benefits from more cores.

how does something like setFSB work? is it really any point in trying?

is the one in your pfp the one you are talking about? that's a hp proliant ML350 g6?
if it is then i had one and i would recommend getting a pair of x5672s as they are the fastest cpus that board will take. you can even just use 1 of them in socket 1 if you cant afford both CPUs right now,
i had that with a 980ti and it worked pretty good but i wouldnt really recommend much more than a 980 as i was bottlenecking in some games

I would say: forget on overclocking if you are going to build 1366 dual socket (server) pc
saying server because too much dual socket 1366 boards are server oriented
If you like overclocking buy workstation or desktop MB and some fast processor like w3690 ...just saying

and friendly advice, set FSB is not for anyone, it can freeze pc in a moment if you do something wrong
Better use BIOS to overclock Cpu more than any software solution

i already have a x5672 and an x58 board that i have an alright overclock on, i was kinda just thinking of the future as things are likely to be able to use more threads but the x5600 series xeons dont quite have the legs at stock speeds. also the sr-2 is total pornography, oh well ill prolly just get a newer xeon perhaps on x99 when i need to get a new computer.
