Not one of those nice professional workstations which some of you have, but it's still a Xeon build (E5-2667 V3, 8c/16t up to 3.60GHz)
Using it a to capture footage from my retro systems

Can still be professional. Just because it doesn't have the green PCB and normal looking heatsinks/lack of doesn't make it any less.

An E5 2699 V4 is headed my way. 22c 44t of Xeon greatness to play with. It should be fun to play with.

Those colors looks schmick as. I've always wanted an Asus WS workstation board but they've always been priced well outside my budget range.

Y'all are a bad influence. I guess my E5450 was lonely? 2X of the below incoming, bound for an Aurora R1 and X58 Sabertooth.

That never even occurred to me; good to know. Was trying to avoid potential, "You paid WHAT for that?!?" side conversations, not thinking that somebody might be motivated enough to dig deeper. ^_^

Only after seeing what price gougers are doing with GPU's did I finally make a low-ball offer on a 2699 V4 that had been on Ebay for a while (a couple of months). To my surprise the seller accepted my offer. I got it for less than 1/4 of what 3000 series Nvidia GPU's are going for. At the moment I'm waiting for UPS to deliver it.

Riding the 200 bus speed with multi 22x broken my personal score as well

 

[freeagent]

15 USD is pretty good for an x5670.. considering I paid like 600usd+ for my X5690 ES like 10 years ago

 

[Edwired]

Not too bad for the price for x5670 even I had to pay €28 for the x5675 I have seems a great overclocker haven't pushed the voltages that high either keeping it under the safe margin for now

You, you think you ran that bench a few enough times?

 

[freeagent]

Even after all these years I am still unclear what safe is I ran a medium voltage for a long time, it loved it.. Example: 1.4vcc, 1.39 vtt, 1.65-75 vdimm are what I would have ran daily for extended periods.

 

[Edwired]

I ran it a few times yes and I pick the best score to show that I'm breaking my own personal scores haven't you tried breaking your own scores yet?
The scores on cinebench r20 is been spaced out a few months the one in red highlighed was only achieved a few hours ago

Most clocks per dollar is obv X5650, but X5670 is the inflection point where dollars per clock starts to go off into the weeds. I figured an extra fiver for what should be a better binned chip wasn't a bad deal.

 

[bobbybluz]

The 2699 V4 dropped right in, not even the "New CPU detected in BIOS". Here's the first Cinebench20 & Passmark 9 results:

 

[Edwired]

Haven't a clue where this land

Dropped another multi and got 210 on the blck same voltages as before

What interesting to me is the qpi link speed is times two = 7,551.4mhz that bonkers to achieve

Woah! That's a bit high! And it's stable?

 

[sam_86314]

Coming soon...

It'll be going into one of two systems I have. Both have H87 chipsets. My research leads me to believe it'll work.

Damn, I love the blue, black, and white color scheme. AMD really did make some sexy workstation cards.

Will test it in a few days to see how it holds up. I keep an eye on it and report back as soon as possible

It's a shame I was not able to find some blue heat sinks for the RAM modules

Not bad...not bad at all...even single core performance is solid in that passmark test almost the same as my 2697 V2...I am having just a bit better result in Single core but my CPU is working on higher frequency but my gosh those yours 22c/44t will just tear apart everything you throw at them ...

No harm in spraying the heatsinks blue

the older ddr1 heatspreaders are even blue on the upside
