Xeon Owners Club

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

I try that later on do i need to drop down the uncore freq?

 

[t7400]

Wow! That's pretty solid.

thx

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 .....

yes, but its giving its last after 10+ years.

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.

i am using the stock heatsinks that came with it. One cpu is i would say a LOTTERY win, as it can go to 3.33Ghz at stock voltage. But the other one sucks, so yeah im stuck at 3.6GHz for both, better than 3.8-4.0 with one cpu.

I haven't come across an E54xx chip that does 3.8GHz or higher without some serious voltage. Both of my E5450's hit a brick wall at that point, so I just run them at 3.6GHz @ 1.3V as a quick and easy overclock. If you're able to do that with E5440's on a dual processor setup, you're doing alright.

What heatsink is that?

NH C12P SE14 - Noctua

NH-C12P SE14

Building on the proven basis of the successful NH-C12P, which has received more than 100 awards and recommendations from the international press, the NH-C12P SE14 now comes with Noctua's new NF-P14 140mm fan for further improved quiet cooling performance as well as the new SecuFirm2™...

I have the xeon e5450 that can do 4.3ghz below 1.296v or there about cant remember exactly

I like the form-factor.

I like the form-factor.

Yeah same here as i had the idea to keep the vrm and northbridge cool with that heatsink where the d14 - d15 it cooling mainly the cpu and one sided vrm. What nice about noctua they have extra mounting kits for newer cpu socket which can be bought later on. It have copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating

I doubt I could even boot into Windows with those settings on an E8400, let alone a quad core that normally has 400MHz less overclocking headroom.

 

[basco]

could someone\x58 users help us in answering what xeons are supported on an asus p6t deluxe v2 or is a crossflash needed?

thanks in advance for your help!

its about this thread:

ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 / i7-920 - ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 OC 8GB able to run?

Will play doom just fine but I would get more memory. I had 6gb and it lagged in a lot of games got 6 more gb and the lag went away.

Board i had from you run a X5690 ( Recently Retired but still fully working )

 

[basco]

thanks for your input dorset
i think i crossflashed this mobo but dont know anymore exactly

Ha i know but was able to play games and a few other things. The thing is i never went over the max safe voltages at all. just because the e8400 has a bigger base clock than a quad come on

thanks for your input dorset

What cpu you running on asus p6t v2?

 

[basco]

plz ED look in the thread i posted above.
i sold my board to dorset and i cannot remember if the xeons just run on any bios or do i have to crossflash? i did with p6x58 bios and dorset confirmed x5690 working.
but will these xeons run on any asus or what? busfahrer has a p6t deluxe v2

thank ya very much

 

[dorsetknob]

Board also ran on a X5650 when i got a X5690 it booted fine with no bios flash needed ( if it was cross flashed i have no idea ).Also loaded it up with 6 x 4gig of vengance 1600 mem

P6T V2 works with all xeon's. Crossflash is only to unlock bios features that may not be available in lower tier boards.

thanks man i just have a slow mind not rembering

Just picked up some new goodies from the post office.

Brand new cooling solution to replace those stock Intel heatsinks:

And a bundle of used stuff for US$20. Asus P5K, Q9450, Arctic cooler. Motherboard allegedly doesn't POST, but I'll experiment to see if I get it working:

 

[Edwired]

If it isn't posting it could be number of things CPU pins, BIOS chip, etc worse case north bridge shot did see one similar with the die cracked in 3 places. Anyone wanting to have Xeon e5450, Asus p5q deluxe 8gb gskill 1066mhz at expense of postage give. a shout

Well it didn't work, not that I expected it to but it was worth a shot. I can confidently say that it's broken when some of the traces near the southbridge have been scratched off....
The Arctic cooler makes up for it though, it's a nice upgrade for the E5450.

Good find, I would have blamed the Q9450 thinking it needed a bios update.

Yeah, nah the Q9450 is apples. I was using an E8400 and got nothing. It's either a bios flash gone wrong or busted traces because I threw every trick at it and it didn't even light up the RGB keyboard. I'm calling it. Probably will still keep it for spare electrical parts.

Another E5 1680 V2 is on the way for my second Sabertooth X79. I'll wait to see how it performs before selling the 4960X.
