Last step is for the coolers and she'll be good to go. Even got all the PCI slots powered!

Looks F'ing great.

You definitely need a better GPU for that beast!

I really wanted a GTX690 for it but at the time, to get the ram I needed to spend X amount, and SLI is dead.

What card is that? At first glance it looked like a GT card but looking closed the "X" can be made out.

Jeez she's clean as a whistle

It's a 1650s in there.

That's a good card. I was going to suggest a GTX 670 or GTX 760ti but your card is in that ballpark of performance.

Guys I order this puppy....

It will arrive today so maybe I will manage to do some testing a bit later.....I dreamed about this CPU for a loooong time....I just hope so that will OC(via/bclk)as good as my"old"2650V2....

Ok guys....so far so good....everything working just fine....after my little tweaking I managed to OC(bclk) on 115,3 so far,that means that My Xeon 2697 V2 crushing now on 3,46Ghz on all 12 cores + turbo boosting on few cores up to 3,92Ghz and is totally stable so far...I did few benchmarks/here some pictures bellow....



Also temps on my "cheap"nothing special air cooling are totally fine in idle they are usually around 40c-44c and under the heavy load the max temp was 76c.....

What temps are like on that cpu

 

[Zyll Goliat]

What temps are like on that cpu

Well on Intel official page stands that Tcase Max for Xeon 2697 V2 is 86c.....

@Zyll Goliath
Those are solid numbers. Are we seeing a slight OC? How much was it?

 

[sepheronx]

wow, your cpuz single core is only about 30 points higher than yours (mine is a 10500ES). Your multi destroys mine.

 

[lexluthermiester]

12cores/24threads will do that.

 

[sepheronx]

12cores/24threads will do that.

well yes, but the single thread performance is impressive.

Yes I OC via bclk because those Xeons are locked and that's the only possible way tho' you need some solid mobo and a bit of knowledge to do that....my Sabertooth so far handlig just fine this 12 core monster ......It was not that cheap at least not in here where I live I payed 175€ for him but I believe you can find it maybe a bit cheaper on ebay these days....

wow, your cpuz single core is only about 30 points higher than yours (mine is a 10500ES). Your multi destroys mine.

THX...well yeah as I said because of the OC this CPU now working on 3,46Ghz on all cores but boosting on few cores up to 3,92Ghz also this cpu have 30mb of L3 cache and that is not bad for gaming also.....when is on stock speed then it's not that impressive it will work on 3Ghz and boost up to 3,5Ghz....

Cheapest one I saw was about €136 free delivery from China on ebay but it for Apple Mac I'm sure it work just the same for Intel based motherboard

yeah it will work for sure they are identical....just need to be sure to avoid ES as they are not that good especially for bclk OC.....hmm can't see any for that price on ebay...cheapest that I found are 168$+shipping.....

I know it looks standard nothing mentioned ES according to the ebay listing. Even check Asus 2011 boards they still fetching a lot of money seen some asking €150 and saw the dearest one close to €300 that without postage included. Got a question about Asus p9x79 is that good board as it has the blue and black theme?

Be cautious when I search on ebay it does list me one for 136$+free shiping but it's not Xeon 2697 V2 it's Xeon 2667 V2......
As far as I know Asus p9x79 is a solid board....it's similar to my Sabertooth and have solid VRM that can handle a lot of cores..anyway it's good to read and ask around about X79 mobos before you decide to get one as they are still very pricey....

Ah yeah I was thinking of an upgrade sometime next year maybe but the current setup I have will do for the time being. Just was testing TT isle of man 2 earlier and I noticed texture popping up slowly while doing time trial it happens with trees, road marking, houses, and walls. I'm wondering would the vtt voltage been set to 1.21250v too low or does it affect the performance in any way

 

[Zyll Goliat]

After further tweaking I realize that CPU actually boost up to 4,033Mhz on few cores....I did more torture tests and is totally rock solid on looong Cinebench R23 test...multi core-score was actually really good...



I scored OC like this 9728 points and this same CPU on stock speed scores 8378 points....all of that only on 1,17V on Vcore max CPU package power according to the Hwinfo was "only" 121W during this tests...

Decided to tweak the system again this time I put the ram timing in auto, dram 1680mhz, uncore 3,360mhz, vcore 1.264v (bios stated 1.27500v, qpi/dram 1.2250v, dram 1.60v (it overvolt to 1.65v according to the dmm (digital multimeter as I found the read point below the dimm slots)
Seems pretty good got over 2000 points in r20 with hwinfo64 running in the background and the highest temps on the cores is 57c

In the latency test I noticed the x5675 beating the I9 10900k by 5.2ns I dont know if lower is a better score if anyone correct me on that

Nice latency there.....
