Socket 775 Build

[AlwaysHope]

Actually I believe it should work - If speaking about compatability with 771 chips you could be right about it but the L3360 is a true 775 Xeon, no modding required for it to work.
You will run across issues with doing a mod to use 771's in a 775 board, that fact but I know my REX for example will run it all day long even though it will only work with the 3xxx series Xeons and nothing else with the mod.
As long as the chip is a true 775 chip chances are good it will work.

However there is a caveat - Not all 775 chips work in all 775 boards "As is". Some boards with one BIOS file/later file will run later chips but not older ones, if you flash in an older BIOS file then it works with the older chips but not the newer ones.
Ran into that with my DFI P965-S Dark and had two files for each to flash the BIOS chip with based on what I was wanting to run.

I'm constantly surprised how the desktop x86 market, even a decade on from 775 platform is still being tinkered & hacked with...
Wonder if this scene, albeit with more modern platforms will still be active a decade or more from now...

One Question here... why when I OC'ed the cpu to 2.8 does it no longer have the issue I posted a few post back? Post #19

Just seems a bit out of place that a 2.4GHZ Quad CPU will do that on a 720P video stream service client but now @2.8GHZ All is fine

Here are the pics of my updated build. My friend RGB it like a boss!



He bought some RGB USB strings and he bought another hard drive. He also bought a SD card to Sata PCB for me to toy with. I saw a review for it and the speeds weren't so great but for Cloudready it shouldn't matter. Just people wanted CR on a SD Card. He's also buying a class 10 16GB card. Should do fine as CR is Google Drive based for storage mainly so

Hi...Hope you are
doing well...Thats a very nice build with cool lights.....I used CM universal led strips in my build...easy to attach because they have magnets at the back..

 

[Jose Jeswin]

my next experiment is attaching a DIY transparent side panel using plexiglass and thumb screws...to my second pc..

Hi guys back again
So my Friend is buying a Modded Socket 771 Xeon cpu LINK for my current 775 build. I have already checked and the cpu will work on the MB. What are your thoughts on this as I've already seen some guys on YouTube do it LINK though mines already Modded​

 

[Jose Jeswin]

Hi...how are you?...if your cpu is modded...it should fit right in if its already modded...keep an eye on the temps though....

 

[theFOoL]

My upgrades plus a side project dealing with the old HP I have...

 

[Crazy zookeepster]

Yeah you just need a good cooling solution for it, doubt a stock cooler will quite do it. If you have some overclocking on your mind, look at a decent 240 AIO or Nocturas poop brown big boy cooler/ Be quiet dark rock pro. The 120 AIO can deal with temps, but they can get quite noisy due to the single fan doing all the heavy lifting

 

[theFOoL]

Yeah I have some coolers in mind

 

[storm-chaser]

Nice. You should be able to get 4.0Ghz + out of that combination...

 

[Jose Jeswin]

How about an old but effective cooler...in its new edition...

My Friend is coming tomorrow for us to discuss for what's next. So the thing I had him buy is a Modded Xeon CPU for the 775 motherboard on my Build. Till then here's some pics of my Build for now. I have list for RAM but that's only if he can get the MB with 4 Slots

 

[Jose Jeswin]

Hi rk3066...how are you?....that cable is a little too close to the fan...it can touch the fan if your pc is not level...have you considered adding a wire grille?...i have added one to mine..

 

[Jose Jeswin]

Its not a big thing...but gives me some peace of mind..

 

[Jose Jeswin]

Btw...i hope your friend gets an mb with 4 slots..

 

[theFOoL]

Ha glad you noticed cause I didn't lol. Well I'm abit (I miss that company ha) under the weather today but he'll come tonight or tomorrow. He has the cpu but the other stuff idk. We'll see

My cpu and ram for a 1150 Build is on hold

The CPU a i3 3150 RAM 8GB (2X4GB) I mentioned a ZOTAC MB ITX

Games I played were KF and KF2 (Note I was... Going to play it "KF2" 'KF is or stands for Killing Floor' but my accident happened) and that's it really but I would love to play GTA5 on pc now

Just an update as well: still my life side of body is somewhat unusable due to the brain injury or something else. You guys have any thoughts let me know. Like I can control my arm/hand on my right side just fine. It is when I try to move my left side is I have to actually Think about it first but my fingers on my hand it's hard and unable to move like my right hand

Not read the entire thread. Would you be interested in a MSI Twin FrozR 660Ti?

my 750Ti is better and fine ha but thanks

 

[FreedomEclipse]

my 750Ti is better and fine ha but thanks

If you check out reviews i think you'll find the 660Ti is faster.

 

[theFOoL]

Meh well as long as it handles KF and KF2 Plus GTA5 I'm good

I'd say it's probably brain hemorrhage or a stoke (since it's affected entire side of the body).
It's not serious enough to be life threatning, but severe enough to cause your symptoms.
Important part is that it may not be a result of direct impact on head. Simply vains in brain may be weakened and sometimes they may burst under increased pressure (sudden movement), OR you had a clot and it somehow manage to find it's way into your head vessels.

 

[theFOoL]

Yeah like in some locations it really hurts to touch. Especially when I wear a shoe on that foot. Also I can't sleep on my left side. Only on my right. That idk ha

its called paresthesia...usually seen in recovering nerve injuries...hopefully it will be gone soon...

 

[Jose Jeswin]

try not to think about it...get well soon....and complete that build..
