Very good very good, welcome to the xeon life the ultimate beasts of cpus.

Talking about that and AMD. Epyc might take over as the ultimate most powerful single cpu at some point?
Would any of you perhaps make an epyc build in say 6 or 7 years?
Have any of you made an opteron build?

i sticking to the asus p5q premium with 8gb rams by mushkins and gtx 660 2gb and all that paired with xeon e5450 im still finding more headroom for overclocking one time for a short 5 minutes i was idling in windows 10 i just had the overclock at 4.5ghz just about to stresstest it bsod i was thinking i blown the chip but no still the same chip 3 years im still beating it up it just dont want to die not by large amount of voltage

@lyra

I have my X5670 at 4.4ghz max temp at 100% load is about 80c using a H100 pump and 120mm rad and a single fan

 

[FireFox]

I have a better idea for you @lyra

 

[lyra]

Is that a full on refrigeration unit lmao, surely thay would be louder?

Think our mr Knoxx29
Missed the post where you said your Skint /broke/Poor ( like most of us )

example just how many Euro's has it cost you to get to that CoolerSystem Knoxx29 ???
and a parts/cost Breakdown list???

Yes i missed that post.

The Waterchiller costed 379€ the rest i had it from my previous Watercooling System, i didn't pay the full price because i had an old Waterchiller and sold it, that said i just added a few €.

hi joined to say got an xeon e5450 clocked at 4.07 at 1.24v such a beast of a chip to go toe to toe against q9650.

Almost same here with my Xeon...except I have E5645(6core)working stable&solid on same frequency as yours,Vcore in Hardware Monitor showing 1.232v but in bios is 1,245V.......anyway hows your temps under really heavy loads?

 

[Edwired]

hwinfo64 states 1.232 vcore when loaded it bumps up to 1.24 bios states 1.25000 with llc enabled in the asus p5q premium. the temps in idle about 29c to 32c depending on the room temp but loaded it hit about 60c to 63c with intelburntest. while gaming it under anywhere from 50c to 57c depends on games. still have to readjust for lower temps

Hmm...thx for respond....well my temps go High in heavy loads like Intelburntest or prime on few cores goes even on 87c, anyway it´s hot in here and If I leave my case open temps get lower for 5-10 degrees,I am not that concern as in gaming and every day use my temp usually stay bellow 60c......

 

[Edwired]

well gotta check the offset for the temp on the tjmax as mine is set to 85c before it was set to 100c as it was misreading the temps in high 50c or more in idle

 

[TheMakina]

Well hello guys, just joined this forum. Didn't read ALL of the posts but just a few.
I'm the proud owner of a X5660 with a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 motherboard.
I oc'ed it to around 4.0 Ghz but my Vcore jumps to 1.37 V when I stress it with IntelBurnTest (max). So I put it back to standard clocks.
I've set it to 1.25 V in the bios but it still jumps to dangerous voltages as I assume the max Vcore for Westmere Cpu's is 1.35V

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

hiya @TheMakina welcome to the gang

can you fill in your specs please so we can all get a little bit excited by your build
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/account/specs


The Giga X58 is the board i have lusted over..............one of the best overclockers. Provided your cpu is staying cool 1.4v isnt a problem.

as i am posting i may as well add the wallpaper that @Rezasam1 made for me yesterday for a DFI and W 3520 PC

heres my X5670 with ASUS ROG ii extreme

 

[TheMakina]

Well I already guessed it wouldn't be a big problem, when I game it doesn't get over 50C.
But I couldn't help myself from asking why the Vcore fluctuates.
With stock settings I get like 50-60 fps in BF4 with Ultra settings on 1080P with my own GPU (GTX760).
When I borrowed my cousin's GTX 1060 it went up to 140 FPS.
So I tried his PC (i5 7400 with GTX 1060) and the FPS was like 150-160.
So these Westmere cpu's are still beast! Bought the cpu with MB and 12 GB RAM for about 140 euro.
Just need a GPU upgrade although the prices skyrocketed with all that mining.

 

[Edwired]

your voltage jumps sounds like llc is enabled or the auto settings are overvoltaging

I'm gonna take a look at it tonight. Maybe, that will sort some things out.

 

[Edwired]

just following up on my pc specs, voltages, ram timings, and graphic card it stable for me for gaming. Let me know what you think. Also added the picture with the stress testing done on graphic card and the xeon e5450 as well. The temperature never reach that high in gaming as in games the graphic card hit max 65c and the cpu hit about 55c most of the time.

You need to turn on LLC in the bios so that your Vcore fluctuates less.....try regular LLC(load line calibration)do not go extreme.......

 

[Edwired]

on my board the llc is on auto as it idles at 1.216v when gaming it goes up at 1.224v but when stressing with intelburntest it goes up to 1.232v so it fine as im keeping it on auto as it helps with the tempatures on the cpu.

i think he is talking about rhe cpu go according to the cpu vid and check with hwinfo64 to see where the voltage is at then tweak the bios with llc enabled but beware this llc with overshoot the voltage more as it creates more heat on the cpu risking a fried egg

 

[TheMakina]

I didn't have much time to take a look, so I put everything on stock settings.

The GPU prices are still too high for me to upgrade to a GTX 1060/1070.

Wanna buy a 144 hz screen at some time as well, but 3rd baby is on its way so some things come in second place at the moment.

Maybe this board will be part of my collection

EVGA X58 Classified

The Owner will give me the answer tomorrow lets hope for the best.

Ahhh true GEM........

Ahhh true GEM........

Yes it is.

If the answer is Positive i will buy a Xeon X5690, i have a few X5677 and X5675 but are in my others SR-2 CLASSIFIED.
