How about a little x265.

The 1620 V2 I bought for my X79-UD5 showed up yesterday. But as it turns out the Rev 1.0 board doesn't support Ivy Xeon's at all due to something hardware related. Need a Rev 1.1 for them.

Have a cheap 2620 on the way now instead.

A purchasing blunder hit me too, although mine was more of a brainfart.
Not only are these 4GB sticks of DDR2 for AMD systems only (I would've known if only there were pictures because the chip count is an obvious giveaway), but most 775 motherboards don't even support 4GB ram sticks anyway. Maximum of 8GB on a four-slot motherboard means that it only supports 2GB sticks. Now I'm fully learned'd.
I only sunk a tenner into them (they were cheap....another obvious giveaway).
I'll post some benchmark numbers after I test them by seeing how far I can hock each one for distance.

Had to buy a new noctua fan as I broke 3 fan blades on the cpu fan was pissed about it was testing for voltages and wasn't looking and one of the probes went in. So I ended up getting the redux with 140mm round frame it have 1500rpm so it faster than the brown model it only goes to 1200 rpm or less kinda getting sick of looking at brown fans for now

Mad looking cooling config he got

It's so rare to see someone messing around with the low-spec 771 Xeons. Granted he's running a chiller, but still, those chips are only a few bucks each.

Decisions, decisions... Trying to make up my mind as to selling my binned 4.7Ghz 4960x on Ebay and getting another E5 1680 V2. I can make a decent profit doing it but there's no foreseeing what the overclocking lottery gods will do with the Xeon. Two more cores is always good for A/V production work (I'm not a gamer) but parting with a known CPU for an unknown one in this case makes me hesitant.

Do It !!! 2 more cores will giva ya more then ....MHz lower for productive workload

 

[Edwired]

Been gaming quite abit with x5675 with mild overclock with a 120mm fan attached with blu tac to the heatsink temporary until I get the new fan hopely this week. I dropped down the vcore to 1.160v while maintaining 145 it going good

You will see a big difference in multimedia performance with more cores in xeon

Anyone know what qpi/dram core voltage should I set for on x5675 and what the maximum is allowed?

It varies chip to chip, like vcore. The best general rule is not to exceed the stock voltage by more than 15%. So whatever it defaults to, don't go to high.

 

[Edwired]

The thing is I don't know what voltage it defaulted to when in stock form.

The bios doesn't show the voltages before you change them?

 

[Edwired]

I say i have to use aida64 to show what qpi/dram is defaulted to in stock form as it found in motherboard - bios area

In stock form it said it 1.20v on qpi/dram and what the max safe voltage is ideal?

 

[DR4G00N]

1.35V max for daily. Shouldn't usually need that much unless your running 6 DIMM's or high Uncore.

I have 6 dimms populated

My best guess is that 1.3v would give you the stability you need to make the OC work well.

 

[Edwired]

This is what im currently running at seem to hold up

In aida64 the qpi/ram in auto it reporting 1.25v. I set it manually to 1.30v it reports the same. As the turbo is enabled that results nearly 3.9ghz that is enough for me for now

Wow! That's pretty solid.

Don't worry those 6-core Xeons easily can hit 4Ghz-4,2Ghz on decent mobos....as I remember my @E5645 was on 4,2Ghz/1,31V and your CPU is way easier to OC then that because it has much better multiplier.......

Cool to see 771 dual socket still kicking in 2020 .....

3.6GHz at 1.3 vcore is pretty good for an E5440, especially considering the SLANS revision and dual processor setup. I've got a couple of those but haven't pushed them yet because I'm waiting on a Hyper T4 to replace the stock Intel heatsink.

As for the vcore on x5675 @ 3.89ghz it still 1.16v as i locked it in and llc enabled it didnt even rise on during resident evil 2 remake. Was getting memory management error when i pushed it to 4ghz with the same vcore any idea what caused that?

Needs a little more VTT (QPI/DRAM). Try bumping the vcore up to around 1.25V also.
