Thanks @Zyll Goliath post your results to see where you land on the chart

Where the memory latency result i was meant to say

Where the memory latency result i was meant to say

Well latency is not that great I still have my old memory and didn't have a lot of time to tweak but ain't that bad....

You beat me on nearly x2 read, x2 copy and x2 write which is good

Sure but yours results are really solid for the X58 platform......

Cool

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

Lower is better.

This CPU upgrade was a breeze....everything was working perfectly fine as soon as I install 2697 V2 into the socket....even the old memory settings didn't cause any problems....this morning I continue further fine tweaking and there are some minor improvements after I tight memory timings a bit , also I tried to push cpu clock more but then it becomes unstable....so I think I will call it a day on this speed(3,45Ghz-4,03Ghz/boost) and honestly I am more then happy with this....my next upgrade it will be maybe some better memory or possibly NVME SSD we will see but I am sure that I am not touching anymore CPU for at least year or so.....


Passmark 9....I crossed that 20k line now and there is no return back after that.....

Nice!

That's not unusual.

 

[Zyll Goliat]

That's not unusual.

It is a bit unusual because previously I configured memory timings/speed manually it's not on XMP profile or even on standard jedec configuration and it's bounded to the bclk speed and OC....

 

[Edwired]

Maybe the cpu is a bit sensitive to the memory timing or need more voltage tweaking would be my guess

CPU Z result and comparison amongst the other 12c/24t cpu's.....also bellow there is a Xeon 2697 V2 score on stock speed....

Handy for more storage

Handy for more storage

I think he's making a mountain out of a molehill with the SATA card. In practical applications the speed difference in not going to be noticed unless the drive installed is going to be hit hard frequently. Anyone who is going to need the speed over the convenience will be using SATA/SAS RAID and not something like this. I think IcyDock scored a win with both of those. Also, I have to agree with his assessment on the beer. But we can chock that one up to personal taste..

I quite agree with you. It main purpose it to add and take away storage at will. I quite like the idea of the icydock

Hey guys after all the various benchmarking and data collecting I POSTED this thread for the archive....who knows maybe some day someone will be interested to read&compare all those graphs&data .......

 

[Edwired]

Like they say ''old but not obsolesce' lol

Yeah...sometimes I been saying that same sentence to myself when I want to feel better.....

Bumped the blck abit to 170 resulting 4.25ghz @ 1.280v, vtt @ 1.24500v I think, ram 1700mhz same timings 9-9-9-24 @ 1.60v. Turbo enabled. I began to see why cinebench r20 keep disappearing when running as event viewer keep throwing error 0x0000005. In my theory it points out not enough power going through the cpu, the fix usually bumping up either vcore or vtt by 2 clicks have to check which one solved that issue

Anyone have the highest safe voltage for the x5680 chips? No longer limited by cooling..

Safe is subjective.
For 24/7 1.4v
I would probably not ever go over 1.45

 

[Toothless]

Would you happen to know a fix to the missing ram? 48 installed but board won't show all 48 (20, 32, 40, etc)

I'll agree with this.

Make sure the socket is snug with the cpu as if it overtighten or loose it will affect the ram appearing/diapperaring. Start with one dimm then work your way up each dimm.
Also check the vtt is set manually and start with 1.20v then work your way up until all the ram start to appear along with dram voltage based on the dimms you have

It appears Nvidia sold $175 millions worth of 3000 series gpu to cryptocurrency miners awhile ago explaining the lack of stock according to some sites i read

NVIDIA Allegedly Sold $175 Million Worth of Ampere GeForce RTX 30 GPUs To Crypto Miners, Could Be A Contributing Factor Behind Immense Shortages

Financial analysts have suggested that NVIDIA sold $175 Million worth of GeForce RTX 30 Ampere gaming GPUs to crypto miners.

Just type nvidia 175 million on google it shows alot of hits

I've found in the past that sometimes its just the RAM not quite making contact with the pins in the slot... Take RAM out and put in again, give the slot a quick blast with some canned air if poss just in case any dust etc. is in there... It seems to work for me.. Have a UD7 that was the same and a few other boards as well.. It can be a right pain in the but.....
