Weird, it should still work. I've installed Win10 on a few different Core2Quad systems with no issues. Maybe a bios setting needs changing?

Check if the board support the q9550s as some wont support the cpu if it isnt listed or might need a microcode to make it work. if it not booting windows 10 check if the sata is in achi or ide mode as you might need to tweak the registry f possible in order for the windows 10 to boot in sata mode

Found this quite interesting to know

I've got the ASRock X99 Extreme4/3.1 and E5 2683 V3 up and running. It's fine but now I want a 16 core E5 2683 V4 to put in it. Two more cores, slightly faster and DDR4 2400 support. It runs very cool (70 degrees F) with a Corsair H110 that has two Silverstone FHP-141's in push mode running at full speed (171 cfm each). I'd forgotten I'd put the Silverstone fans in. When I had a 3770K @4.6Ghz in the same case it ran nearly 20 degrees F hotter. Corsair Vengeance C70 case.

I played with the BLCK, raised it to 103.0 and am seeing 3.0Ghz when the turbo boost kicks in. I made some lowball offers on Ebay for 16 core E5 1683 V4's and finally got a bite last night. I'll have one in a few days. Two more cores, faster memory throughput and native DDR4 2400. Next I have to learn to do the all core turbo boost unlock. Now my question to myself is do I keep the 2683 V3 as a spare CPU for my X99 rigs or sell it?

Post some benchmark-results.......as far as I know Xeons V3 can work with turbo boost unlock but not Xeons V4 but check around maybe something changes recently......

I looked around the net about the E5 1683 V4 nothing popped up at all

sepheronx · Sep 23, 2020

Got me a Xeon 2650 v2 for my HP Z420 to replace the 1620 v2 for a total of $40 Canadian Peso's.

Totally worth it.

O yeah...I Love my 2650 V2 I OC via bclk on 3,4Ghz/All cores and it's working like a charm!!!

Should have been E5 2683 V4: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...-processor-e5-2683-v4-40m-cache-2-10-ghz.html

I am lucky I have X79/Sabertooth......here is the difference in Cpu-z results....

tho' 2650 V2 aint' bad on stock speed either 2,6ghz and boosting on few cores on 3,4Ghz

From what I've seen the stock X99 E5 2683 V4 Passmark scores are the same as what I got out of my X79 4960X @4.7Ghz. Of course the 2683 V4 has ten more cores and faster RAM than the 4960X.

Edwired · Sep 23, 2020

Hey @phill suppose that 14c 28t cpu you got have ya tried using rspc3 emulator (ps3) to see if it scale/benefit in more cores as i seen alot of people testing out games for the emulator since then as requirement listed here

RPCS3 Sony PlayStation 3 Emulator

RPCS3 is a multi-platform open-source Sony PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger written in C++ for Windows, Linux and BSD.

It be a shame if the 14c 28t cpu goes to waste if it doing nothing

Are you really getting almost 18000 points with 4960X on 4,7Ghz?

bobbybluz · Sep 23, 2020

I sold the 4960X after I got my last E5 1680 V2. I made $100 on the deal too. My best Passmark with it was 17600-ish. When I first built that rig 8 years ago I had a 3930K in it that did 17,400 at 5.02Ghz. After five years core degradation set in though from running it at 4.8Ghz. I scored the 4960X for $50 off Craigslist. It came from a Falcon Northwest gaming rig the owner was parting out after a coolant hose came loose and soaked the motherboard. He didn't know if the CPU worked or not and I thought it was worth a $50 gamble. I swapped it out replacing the slowly dying 3930K I'd clocked down to 4.5Ghz at that point and it booted right up.
I was disappointed that 4.7Ghz was the best I could get out of the 4960X without risking it following the same fate as the 3930K. Then came the E5 1680 V2 and it blew the 4960X away in Passmark at the same speed. This was the last version of Passmark with the higher CPU scores for older hardware. The first pass on the CPU broke 21,000. I posted that several months ago here. Then I built the second Sabertooth X79-1680 V2 that's identical to the first other than the second has DDR3 1866 and the first DDR3 2133. Both have 64 GB of RAM. Under the latest Passmark it got a disappointing high 15,000 score. That's when we discovered the massive scoring difference between the last two versions of Passmark.

Here's my X99 5960X @4.7Ghz:

Oh yeah the Passmark 10(latest)really hit hard X79 platform now they totally changed algorithm and it will mix all scores from now on and I really hate that because passmark was always cool to compare olderVsnew platform as they didn't change algorithm in past 10 years more or less.....BTW That was great score for 4960X.....

bobbybluz · Sep 23, 2020

I have two better scores than this but not the links to them on this PC. This wasn't bad though for a 3930K nearly 8 years ago:

I've got some 12C at the moment but when they are working they are fighting for cancer cures for team TPU

There's not a core in this house that doesn't fight towards the cause for the team!!

However, a mate over in the US has sent me a PCI link for some V4 14C 28T CPUs, so I might be tempted to grab 4 of those and some RAM for the R730's and then get crunching on both those bad boys!! I can see it now the power usage over 9000!!! :laugh:

Kinda funny I think when my 3900X seems to do as well as a 48T beast and at about half the power consumption!! :laugh:

Still, I run them regardless

It is funny but you never know with the old Xeons it is HUGE discrepancy,sometimes you get the deal of your life and sometimes you get burn really badly....but hey even IF you get "burn"you will get the lifetime pass for the "Xeon Owners Club" :clap:

I'm just debating about buying a pair of 16C 32T Xeon's.. The 'want' is strong, but my wallet might be saying no, no, no, no, no lol :laugh:

KenJaws · Sep 24, 2020

Which performs better in gaming in term of avg FPS in games?
E5 2620 v3 turbo boost unlocked vs E5 1620 v2 3.8 Ghz
Been looking for this benchmark online but there's only OC'ed 1620 vs 2620 v3 UTB video on YouTube
The 8gb 1620 v2 setup is about ~25$ cheaper than that of 2620 v3
If 2620 v3 is like only avg 2-4 fps better , I'll take 1620 v2 for better price to performance

Yesterday just put Cooler Master Hyper T20 cooler for 90W TDP X3360, conclussion:
On 100% CPU load on WCG & other GPU projects top temp is 75C - according to Tthrottle monitor.

Just putting my 2 cents here for an info, about a 10€ cooler. :cool:
