Xeon Owners Club

Hyper TX3 Evo air-cooler.

I also have one of those cooling a newer Xeon it works pretty well. I wasn't sure once I actually held it in my hand if it was going to be enough cooling, but seeing as how the Xeon is a pretty modest (power wise) CPU I think it works out nicely

Where's the Memory's screenshot

Srry....here it is

my memory is nothing special atm I use 3x8gb 1333Mhz in triple channel mode

It doesn't matter, for me it's enough to see numbers

That is not good. It's the CPU VTT you want to look at, and that is at like 1.5V...Turn it down bud, you don't want to kill it

NB Core is probably the IOH

For now, this is the best I can do.

But there is always a price to pay.

I have to lose some NB speed, from 4093.6 MHz i had to decreased it to 3411.3 MHz

 

[FilipM]

3400-3600 is the sweetspot in terms of performance vs voltage. But 1.392 for just over 3400 seems a tad high tbh.

EDIT. Try 2T instead of 1T on the Ram, see if that improves things. The loss of RAM speed will be "outrun" by the increased performance from the NB speed

Tried 2T and no luck, if i want to run the NB speeds at 4000+ CPU VTT voltages needs to be at least 1.44v


1.376V is the minimum i can go.

The Machine crashed today i had to increased the voltages to 1.39V, on Google i don't find that much about X5690 OC, the only thing i know is that the X5690s love high voltages beyond 4.5GHz, i don't mind to increase the Vcore voltage up to 1.47V/1.48V but for sure not on Aircooling.

 

[FilipM]

I meant 2T to retain below 1.4V on the VTT and yet have at least 3600MHz.

You seem to have an awesome chip with a bit of a dud memory controller

I'am back.

Sorry for the late reply but i have been busy.

However, i reset the old overclock and tried a new one, i left the Machine running AIDA64 overnight and it didn't crash, i intend to run a heavy stress test but that would be just when the Machine will be Watercooled.

Here the results.

 

[FilipM]

Much better!

Now move to CR10 or CR9 again

9-11-11-31?

 

[FilipM]

9-9-9-24 would be Ideal, what is the SPD on the RAM?

2133MHz

 

[FilipM]

Drop them to 9-9-9-24 and see what happens. Should work.

I will be home in 3 hours, i let you know as soon as i tried.

 

[FireFox]

As you suggested 9-9-9-24

I left Memtest running for 4 hours and not crash.

Don't pay attention to the cables hanging because the Machine it's not finished yet.

For this 5.0GHz challenge the CPU will need a lot of voltage maybe less than 1.5V ( I doubt it ) or maybe more than 1.5V ( I am sure ), however, i am not sure if a 360 Radiator will be enough to keep the CPU cool enough before it could die, any ideas?

 

[Tomgang]

I think for 5 GHz you will properly need to get in the danger zone of voltage of 1.6 volt or around that. I have not worked with Xeon´s but only a I7 980X and with air cooling. But for that to do 4.77 GHz it needs 1.55 vcore and for 4.72 GHz it needs 1.53 volt. At these clock my cpu scales badly on voltage vs. clocks. But Xeon maybe be better capable of 5 GHz with out going to high n voltage.

Well to give an idea. Here is my none xeon system.

i thought you were adding the chiller?

 

[dorsetknob]

One would think Knoxx29

Would use the 360 Rad and the Chiller for maximum cooling capability
but then again i do Believe the chiller is looped to the Other system(s) and that would be a plumbers nightmare

Keep us updated ( i do Believe polish Plumbers offer the best Service and competitive Rates in Germany)

 

[FireFox]

That's/was my idea but i am unsure because if i add the X58 Machine to the Waterchiller loop when i need to move one Machine from one place to another i have to be unplugging tubes and if i want to turn on just the X58 Machine i have to turn on the my main Machine too because the Water pump it's powered by the Main Machine.

Exactly.

Sorry i was typing when you posted.

I am not a Ram expert at all.


8-8-8-24 - 9-9-9-24

Which one is better.

 

[agent_x007]

@Knoxx29 :
A hint to low latency/high bandwidth, I used 1,42V on IMC/VTT (NOT tested for stability, only for demonstration purposes) :

I know, I used 32-bit OS, but I can't be bothered to install Win 7 x64 right now

Need some help.

This morning i ran CINEBENCH but when the test was almost finished i get this error

Here bugreports

Any thoughts?
