I know that i'm just saying that all. Question is where about are you going to top out on the overclock?

Toothless · Dec 16, 2020

Nah. Had another WHEA crash so it's gonna stay at 4ghz. I'd need to do a full day of tweaks and after so many builds in the last two weeks I'm just pooped out.

Almost got that NZXT gpu cooler thing since I still have my Kraken X60 so I can have my 1070 water-cooled. I just don't know if it comes with everything else I need since I lost the mounting.

Whea crashing did you check in the event viewer or bluescreen view to see what error code is shown

Toothless · Dec 16, 2020

Nah. Too "just done" right now to check.

Edwired · Dec 16, 2020

Ya cant just give up easily it took me a few years to learn the in and out of overclocking. But my trick is the feeling and seeing the instability than tweaking too many settings in one go.

For 10 year old CPU's, that's respectable.

Edwired · Dec 16, 2020

Hey Scott what voltages settings you setting them at in the bios? I'm wondering about the qpi/dram/vtt

Mr.Scott · Dec 16, 2020

QPI - 1.3v
DRAM - 1.68v
VTT - 1.35v

Wow! You're brave!

I've got 1.65v kits, one of them came with my SR-2. I don't think 0.03v will hurt.

Cutting it real close there

. How come you have the vtt available in the bios when my board only got only qpi/dram core volt available in mine. I'm wondering is vtt the same as qpi or qpi/dram or something totally different?

A lot of people don't worry about it, but I took the Intel warning about RAM voltage on 1366 CPUs very seriously. The highest I'll go for daily use is 1.55V

Eh......sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make a nice cake.

Ok, can anyone help me tweak this setup? This is my Plex server, FWIW.

The CPU was upgraded from an i5-4570 to an E3-1285v4.
Z97-D3H
Noctua NH-U12P SE2
1050Ti
32GB DDR3 1600

Are there tweaks I can do in BIOS to squeeze more oomph out of this Xeon?

Probably bclk. I believe that's a locked chip.

Hol' up. That's a Broadwell. Where ya get that?

Be curious to know if anyone is driving Cyberpunk 2077 with one of these?

If I had the game, I'd test it on the x5680's. Not sure the 1070 can do good but I'm sure the chips are fine.

I am running CP 2077 on my Xeon 2697 V2(3,45GhzAllCores/Turbo 4,03Ghz) paired with R9 Fury(1070Mhz)and game working fine on 1080p/medium(around 45Fps/avg)
here my short video on this setup in CP 2077

this Xeon handling this game easily top CPU usage that I notice was somewhere around 35%....

Edwired · Dec 18, 2020

Same here don't know if my setup can handle that game yet

Seen reports that people gets game crashing on xeon x5675 don't know why but the game looks buggy from the start

Well I am on X79 platform you guys are on X58 and the problem there is lacking of AVX support that is needed for CP 2077 however there is a work-around LINK

Yes. My personal gaming system is a Dell T3500 with a W3680 and an RTX2080. Runs like silk with some of the settings adjusted. Shadows, fog, cloud and mirror settings are all on medium or low. as they are all CPU heavy FX. RTX runs fine on medium as it is GPU heavy. Anti-aliasing is disabled in the NVidia control panel as is DLSS.

Edwired · Dec 18, 2020

To be honest I think the avx support is a gimmick if games, applications and operating systems requires it there's no hope for for the older system like x58 or less
