Hi guys! i have a question.. can Asus P7H55D-M Pro with X3450 use ECC ram? =D

im building this for my staff.

can Asus P7H55D-M Pro with X3450 use ECC ram? =D

As said earlier

The memory controller on the CPU is rated for ECC and non ECC thats mainly what determins what ram you can use

The Ram/memory controller is on the CPU (all xeons can use ECC Ram)
Physicaly for board fitting there is no difference between ECC RAM and NON ECC they fit the same Dimm Slot
while the motherboard does not list ECC ram as on the QVL it should work

im sorry bro i may have missed this out..

ok i know what i need to do now! thank you sir!

ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev.

I used them for Gaming and for Crunching, excellent performance.

Thank you Knoxx, I'll see if I can find a couple of them and install them to the SR-2! I have a pair of L5640's so they are lower power and hopefully lower heat output as well I'll let you know how I get on!

I have a pair of L5640

Yeap, those are the first Xeons i have used first time i started Crunching.

 

[phill]

I'm glad I bought two pairs of them to be honest, they put the price up by £10 per pair so saved myself a few quid there!!

With the X5650's I have as well, there's 72 threads total, if I can grab another R710 from work and get another heatsink for it, I'll get that up and running as well Still toying with the idea of buying a pair of X5675's just for the giggles, but we'll see how the wages go over the next few months as there's some big changes hitting at work.. For better for worse, for richer for poorer.. Not sure at the moment!

Hi guys. I have finally gotten my 212 evo yesterday. But I found out that the fan keep running at max speed. I have went to the bios to set the q fan setting to silent, but it's still at max. Any thing I can do to fix it?

This allows software control of fans.

Hi bro. i have done the setting and its working fine now.

i have done and learn my overclocking using youtube yesterday.

CPU Ratio 25
Bclk Freq 160
PCIE Freq 100
Dram Freq DDR3-1531
CPU and QPI/Dram voltage 1.33750 (im not sure if this is high)
CPU Spread Spectrum Disable
PCIE Spread Spectrum Disable


now its running 4ghz and i am testing its stability now by running both aida64 + Prime together.

temp spotting max of 81 degreeC with HT enabled during full load. is it considering too high?

Well 81c is Ok temp if is it only under the full load in prime 95 or intel burn test if you get those temps when you playing games then you might have a problem,my CPU on 4Ghz standing on 1,240 and QPI is on 1,28 but then again thats really depends and all CPU´s are different you should try to lower those V a bit and tweak other settings in bios if you can and check the stability&temps again&again&again.......

Hi bro. as i am still learning on how to over clock. i will need more of your advise.

and those above are the only setting that i have touch, what other setting i can play around with?

and yes.. tonight i will adjust my voltage again and try.

Sure dude all of us in here will help you......here are few more tips....turn off speed step and rest of the power savings options(you can tun them ON back later if your computer is stable)keep the CPU PLL on the lowest V(on most mobos thats 1,8),turn on LLC( load line calibration),turn on CPU Differential Amplitude 900mv-1000mv,also you can adjust your RAM timings manual depends of the speeds.....

Hi guys - Would one of these coolers ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cooler-M...527562?hash=item41def5d70a:g:-tEAAOSwLe5axpVb ) be alright for a pair of Xeon's in my SR-2?? I'm just wondering if it will get in the way of the ram slots..

 

[pasnger57]

ok so i did a x58
and now i am looking at my XFX 750I LGA775 running a Q8300
convert to a xeon X5460 LAG771 and my Thought on this is to Mod the CHIP
Not the motherboard just looking for any feedback any recommendation before i go ahead and get one can some recorded a better chip for this board.
based on this info i will not have to do anteing to my bios just use the newest ver. and just make the chip fit and cover the proper pins whit come captins tap
ok never mind this is a $20 worthless lateral Monet http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-X5460-vs-Intel-Core2-Quad-Q8300 it has some performance +but its is Not a drop in power use...

You have to mod both the CPU and The Socket ( and sometimes the Bios via microcode injection)

I've been running a Ti for a year now on an X58...literally no one believes me when I tell them it is close. I hope this settles it

Are you still going on with the Cooler Thing?

Hi bro! as per your advise, my setting is as below

CPU Ratio 25
Bclk Freq 160
PCIE Freq 100
Dram Freq DDR3-1531
CPU voltage 1.244
QPI/Dram voltage 1.281
CPU Spread Spectrum Disable
PCIE Spread Spectrum Disable
CPU PLL 1.8v
LLC Enabled
CPU Differential Amp 900mv

Ram timing at auto. because i dont know what to set it to.
FSB 2:10
CL 9
tRCD 9
tRP 9
tRAS 24
tRFC 74
CR 1T

i have run both aida64 + Prime together for the past 22hrs with no stablility issues at 4ghz. so should be considered stable?

max temp from previous 81degreeC, has dropped to 70degreeC at max load.

and for ram case, i am considering between value ram 1333/1600 or Corsair Vengeance. will this affect anything?

Excellent....those temps are GREAT and I am happy that your machine working smooth,glad that I could help....If you didn´t notice any issues then you could try to OC more further or you can stay on 4Ghz (if you are happy)and maybe try to even lower a bit more V.....When it comes to the RAM I personally like to have more tighten timings instead of the speed but sure it´s best if you can have both....for the beginning you could try to get on CL8 timings(8-8-8-20) with that current speed (1531mhz) and just keep the rest on (RAM settings)auto and see how that goes...But anyway to be perfectly honest you not going to gain that much in every day life with the faster RAM speed or better timings......Also you can provide us with some Cinebench results to see if you getting the expected Score for that CPU speed....

 

[phill]

Are you still going on with the Cooler Thing?

I sadly am.. Can't waste money and can't seem to find the coolers you suggested for much less than £40 a cooler but I'm also looking for some air coolers for my 2600k and 4770k systems as well.. Trying to find something cheaper than cheap!
If the 212 cooler fits as it looks small enough, I was hoping I could just buy a few of them for all of the air cooled systems I need Sorry to be a bore but having no spare cash for hardware or anything really sucks

 

[dorsetknob]

Pity you live so far away i Have a spare evo 212 that you could use to check fitting clearence

That's very kind of you dorsetknob I'm just considering them as they look rather thin and hopefully would give me enough clearnance for the ram I use in the Z77 and Z97 systems... The Z170 system I have should be ok but again, would be great to check it before hand Same with the SR-2 build too, it's the same cooling capacity as the ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev. 2 model that Knoxx says he uses, but it's twice the size and twice the price as well.. Don't have to worry about the cooling so much in the Dell server/s I'll hopefully have, they just have a bloody great heatsink and 5 delta fans in them!!

yes bro really thanks alot for the advise!

dropping of the V really make a big diff in temp =D

my cinebench results float around 899~902 currently.

for now im leting it rest at 4ghz. till next week i will try to up it abit more when i am free from my projects and see how much juice i can get from the current setting. by then i will also try the ram settings too! =D

and also... does ram type make a different? comparing value ram and slightly "premium" ram like Corsair Vengeance?
