My X5670 is in! It's an older batch vs my X5660

The core is good, better than the 5660, I'm running 4.51GHz at 1.400V LinX stable, but the IMC is worse - X5660 had a better IMC (3580MHz at 1.356V, vs 3436 at 1.346V). Plus it doesn't like as high BCLK. On the other side, 4.5 is 4.5. I'll leave it running for a bit, see what I can push, maybe I can lower the CPU VCore, it might be the IMC causing trouble - at least if anything goes wrong I have a backup cpu

As would i
Especialy a side by side comparison of all your SR2 Systems Together (that's 3 now i Believe said with envy )
I just wonder if the benchmarks will be the same ( within say 5% )

Benchmarks cant be the same or even within 5% considering that the CPU's are different models and clock speeds.

 

[Techninja]

that is some insane board again nummer 4 or so do you also have a blue one XD?

 

[phill]

Very looking forward to seeing what you can make of this one

What hardware came with it??

What do you mean?

Nothing just to put it together with the others in the shelf, it is one more piece of my collection.

What hardware came with it??

Just Motherboard, the price was 500€ but i offered 450€ and the seller accepted.

 

[phill]

In that case I hope it was boxed and complete Looked like there was other bits in the auction but might have been for just show I suppose How many of the X58 boards do you have now??

The Board comes with it is original box and accessories and this is my first SR-2 that comes with it is external Overclocking-Panel EVGA ECP, yeap the Ram and Coolers were just for show but in any case i don't need them because i have my own Coolers and Rams, right now i have 3 SR-2

Maybe i am getting this one too

Very nice indeed I have that one and the 762 and the SR2 as well Won't be selling them, well, ever

 

[FireFox]

Won't be selling them, well, ever

The same here.

 

[phill]

A friend has been after the Classified boards I have for years, I think he gets most upset when I say no I won't sell them or I won't let him LN2 the CPU's I have

2 x X5690

No I meant if not mining, what will you be doing with the mining board? And if I may suggest X5680's? They're only 133mhz slower and half the price, unless you already have X5690's.

 

[dorsetknob]

@Knoxx29 did not get a mining Board ( as Shown in that ebay listing)

t'was me extracting the Urine in Fun

X5680 are cheaper but i prefer the X5690 even if they are more expensive, money it is not an issue.

Seems I misunderstood..

Not just that, as i said in one of my posts i won't be doing much with that Board it will be with the others in the shelf.

Fair enough. Sorry about the presumption of the X5690vsX5680. Most of my clients, family and friends live on a budget. Find myself leaning toward the mind-set of finding the "best bang for buck" and making recommendations of such by second nature.

It was just a joke because you have so many they are all red (and as far as i know all sr-2 are) you may have found one with blue accents

hi i have a question,

i last bought an asus maximus formula (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_FORMULA)
and i wanted to let my xeon x5355 but it won't boot
and i have de question if someone has an idea to let it work on that mobo?

 

[dorsetknob]

xeon x5355 is a Socket 771 CPU and the motherboard is Socket 775
to get it to work you would have to mod both CPU and Socket
with the mod it will work

Have a read here https://www.delidded.com/lga-771-to-775-adapter/

How did you even get it in the socket? While similar, the 771 and 775 sockets are "keyed" to disallow the use of one type with the other..

@Gabcraftia While the mod @dorsetknob mentioned above can be done, it is a very involved effort. Your time and money would be better spent just getting a proper 775 CPU. Now if you're doing it for fun or just because you can, then have at it! You'll learn a lot even if you fail to make it work. And if you succeed, that is a fun story to tell that comes with bragging rights.

 

[Gabcraftia]

i have already modded it i forgot to mention it

 

[lexluthermiester]

Ah, ok. So have made the mod. Have you gone over every step in the process to ensure nothing was missed?

 

[FireFox]

Finally arrived

 

[EarthDog]

Ohhhhhhhhhh, a classic. Nice!
