Clock skew delay, never saw a difference either way, so I just leave it on auto.
Command rate, I run 2T mostly because Intel always seem to prefer it.
That and my Dom's don't run 1T near as fast.
Best speed and timings on 1T were actually slower benchmarking than the 2T timings and speed I'm running now.

Dropped voltage down to 1.4v, still keeps a 4.4ghz OC, and running R23 and a few others to see if its stable.

 

[freeagent]

I always forced 1T, maybe I should have tried 2T more often. Normally I didn't have problems, but when I did they were real issues lol

It was truly a love/hate relationship. But she was bipolar af so.. you can see the attraction..

Reverting to an old bios solved 88% of my issues..

Still haven’t grabbed the x5675 but in the meanwhile I spent some time cleaning the hardware getting it ready. Here’s a question however, my Corsair H80 is now almost 10 years old, shaking the radiator doesn’t reveal extreme sloshing indicating it’s lost significant fluid from evap through the FEP tubes. I expect there’s some fluid gone, but honesty I expected more fluid lost over the years. I guess running it at 3.2 for most of its life helped.

Anyways, this is a screenshot of the H80 cooling the 920 @ 3.8 under load, you guys think it can handle the x5675 when I juice over 4.0?

Like the 920 the X5675 was also a 130w part The X5675 is 95W part as opposed to the 920's 130W and as it is a 32nm part as opposed to the 920's 45nm, you are going to have a similar better, if not much better, thermal performance. So you should get 4ghz from it problem free with that cooler.

 

[Mr.Scott]

Personally, I would replace that H80, just for the reasons stated and knowing that the old H50's, 60's, and 80's all suffered from fluid evaporation.
It has done you no wrong for 10 years. Consider yourself lucky. There are air coolers that will give you the same performance now, and a plethora of AIO's that would do a little better.
4 gig on on 5675 is a walk in the park. Once you start getting in the 4.2 range is when it starts to get more difficult.

I have an X5670 running at 4.3 on a 212 EVO (though I replaced the fan with a P12 Redux), and it stays under 80C crunching WCG. So my bet is "yes".

Quick n dirty

Sweet! I was thinking similar, just checked intel’s ark page for some other stats and it’s 95w TDP. Should have even better thermals then by that math!

See I’d love to, but budget. If it’s still outputting decent numbers why not kick it a little longer. A new H80i v2 is is about $120 CAD here... Also I got massive constraints as to what I can dump into my case, already had to modify it once upon a time to make the H80 fit and I don’t think a low profile air cooler will work better. My case is a silver stone grandia GD07 (horizontal), here’s a similar layout except the water cooler is on the other side (not my pc):

I see so there's no benefit in running 1t at all thought xeons like 1t if I understood that correctly?

Yup, that's my bad. See edit. I was thinking of my X5680 when that was stated. And yes, that should run much cooler.

 

[Mr.Scott]

FWIW, running on air, water, and chiller, TDP is deceiving. The 95w chips don't run much cooler than the 130w chips. Only 2-3c cooler in all of my benching once you breach the 1.3v range.

GD07 case is a tough fit for sure. I see your dilemma.

Minus is a win in my books, especially on this relic gear.

 

[Mr.Scott]

This 'relic gear' is still very viable today.
Just letting you know what I've learned. Up to you to do what you wish with it.
2-3c is not very much in the grand scheme of things.

Fo’sho, the x58 platform has been my baby since 2008 and is IMO the last gen when things were overbuilt, even coolers lol. Reading some Reddit comments on “will my x58 platform be good for ____x” and then proceed to be roasted that they need to dump $2g’s to run some unoptimized game at 1000fps.... begs the question what is the definition of an enthusiast today.

Once I moved it all into the grandia from my antec 1200 it all became stress LOL! The 2-3 drop are welcomed especially because my p6Td v2 concerns me on how ‘brittle’ it may be since 2009, the main PCB doesn’t have that dark chocolatey it once had out of the box. But it’s just that, civil discussion amongst enthusiasts sharing their experiences, cheers my man.

Indeed. No animosity or disrespect meant, or taken.

 

[freeagent]

For my X5690, R3F, 3x2 DDR3 2000 cost me about 2K USD back in the day, maybe a little less if you substract some shipping and the cost of some money orders, conversion etc.. and at around 4200 is about as strong as a 3770K give or take.. maybe.. kinda.. sorta. Pretty sure I got my Xeon late 2008 early 2009.. could have been late 2009 it’s an ES.

 

[Edwired]

Well at the end of the day it depends on the setup is been used for. Talk about spending money on an unoptimized game is a pity to be honest there's no need for it. Sad thing is some people just don't register the actual fact it a expensive hobby to custom build your own setup then constantly upgrading it every 6 months to a year.

The upgrade cost me going from asus p5q deluxe with xeon e5450, 8gb ram, asus gtx 750ti to asus p6x58d-e with xeon x5675, 12gb, asus gtx 1050ti oc, 250gb ssd exactly €350 and the performance jump was huge. But the asus p5q deluxe with xeon e5450, 8gb ram, asus gtx 750ti was more expensive to build in the first place because I had to change the motherboard twice going from asus p5q premium to p5q pro then p5q deluxe it cost me €350. Then I sold that old setup for €70 along with the extra €70 for the asus gtx 750ti. It a heavy loss in cash

 

[Mr.Scott]

I run what I do because I like the novelty aspect and the system still does the job for me. I have a 3900X Ryzen system here that just sits in the box.

 

[freeagent]

I could get by with a Dell if I had to.. but this is my hobby. Its like any other hobby I suppose.. overly expensive.. like standing in a parking lot shredding hundred dollar bills.. but its still fun.. I don't upgrade like I used to but that doesn't change anything, it just means I have to use my stuff longer lol

It could be worse than spending the money in the lap dance club

Lol indeed hookers and blow..

The wife wouldn’t like that too much

Me too, with stock fan...

Really? Wow..

 

[freeagent]

Really? Wow..

It will get used again when the box gains a thick layer of dust..

Maybe
