Got the Sabertooth's X5670 to 4.32 now that the 212+ has become a 212 EVO and temps came down around 5C. There's thermal headroom left, but I don't know how hard I want to push a 24/7 cruncher.

As long as you keep it COLD and not Overvolting the CPU(1,35V should be safe)you can try it a see how far that particular X5670 can go....

For a cruncher, IMO you're there. Don't really care to see over 80c 24/7.

That mobo is a very old (not bad but old).

I don't care if it's a bit older, as long as it works, I'm happy.

From aliexpress you can find cheaper newer modells. (if it ships to you)

That's the catch, I'm not a fan of AliExpress. Shipping take too damned long. I'm not willing to wait weeks to a month for shipping, nor am I willing to go through the hassle of customs fees.

Ram any 1333-1600 DDR3L Ecc reg is enough, all of them are works on 1866.

They're all the same price anyway, so I figured why not go for 1866.

Ok, i understand. In my country the i dont get custom fees because the seller writes much lower price on the package. Or there are a warehouse in eu. We do everything to not pay any kind of taxes because it is very high (27% vat highest is the world) in here Hungary and we are a poor country. That is why im think differetly about taxes. For me aliexpress is much cheaper.

That's fair. Here Stateside we have more options.

wow, that's really odd, here it takes longer to travel from the local post to my home (within my country) than to get from china to here.
last time I bought something it arrived at my country in 4 days...
and then it took 14 days to arrive at my home, (Brazil Correios)...

I'm in a similar situation, almost all of the things I bought on aliexpress were taxed below the shop price, sometimes even 10% of the original price, but I get what @lexluthermiester is saying, in the US they have more options, x58 X79 and x99 literally don't exist on brazil, it's almost like we skipped a whole generation, the ones that we do have are newer bought from Ali express, so it doesn't make sense to buy local if the item is the same.

Sorry.. a little late to the thread.. that HP is awesomely loud! It made me laugh.. so happy mine don't sound like an air raid siren

 

[Toothless]

Look at my mess.

X5675 finally works after some bios updating. Still can't get ECC to work but oh well, I'll be shopping for new ram next week.

 

[Edwired]

About aliexpress it depends on the postage option like example it takes longer with their standard for free shipping usually 3 to 7 weeks from china to ireland. The trick I do is check the cheapest item then pick the the paid postage like ems as that abit quicker than the free shipping

Is that an Alienware board?

Old Dell XPS board. It don't like the ECC memories. It makes the Toothless sad.

I just can’t believe there’s still an opinion that games can’t be played on server processors and server memories, even though there are a bunch of videos showing the opposite. I even brought people to me to show them that they are grossly mistaken about server components. Despite what they saw, they commented with a great deal of doubt that it was all nice, but they are still for gaming computers. I just told them to go free to buy what they want and to pay a lot of money. Servers with 1366 sockets, two processors and a lot of memory cost almost twice less than gaming computers. And these are machines that are made to last. In 2013, I met with a xeon processor and since then I am not interested in any other processor. With good graphics, the workstation will be able to run any game for many years to come.

 

[Edwired]

It all depends on the game if it supports xeon cpu

 

[uco73]

I play every game on ultra diff. without any problem. Every game running about 120-200+ FPS. Battlefield V on ultra 140 FPS, Hitman III on ultra 130 FPS, Doom Eternal on ultra 200+ FPS. I have proof on youtube.

 

[Zyll Goliat]

Sure....that's normal every game is supposed to work just fine on Xeons CPU's well maybe there are some exception as certain games requires AVX support and X58 platform do not support AVX but that's have nothing to do with Xeons particularly it's just that CPU's from that era didn't have yet AVX support........

 

[uco73]

I have 2011 socket with C600 chipset.

 

[Zyll Goliat]

I have 2011 socket with C600 chipset.

Well that's X79/2011 Platform I have that also....This platform have AVX support tho' it's missing AVX2 which is not such a big deal when it comes to the games(as far as I know)but there are some other apps that use AVX2 and it is advantage compared to the AVX....I guess you can see that for example in Cinebench R20 and R23 both of those benchmarks using AVX2 IF CPU is compatible.......

 

[lexluthermiester]

I'll take pictures when it's all done!

It's done!




Not bad for an $85 CPU! The Thermaltake BigTyp Revo is a beast! Full load and 61C?!? Very nice indeed! No overclocking(even with ThrottleStop), but I don't care.

Nice build @lexluthermiester!!!Come on don't be shy and post some benchmarking results from CPU-z,Passmark,Cinebench,Geekbench....etc

Besides the Prime95 & CPUZ I haven't done any yet. Still "breaking it in" all the parts. Unfortunately I had to give my son the 2080 I had as he had an unfortunate accident with his PC. Was planning on a 3070 or 3080 soon anyway, when I can get one.

What happened to the son's pc

What happened to the son's pc

Baby bottle spill. His 2070super was killed as was his PSU and a few other parts. I'm currently running on my old spare GTX980. I don't game as much as he does and can wait for a new card.

Ah jeez that bad bud I though the bottle with the nipple cover prevent it from dripping?
