That because everyone is after mores cores/threads nowadays I think.

Smart people know that there is a balance between number of cores vs speed of cores. I'm someone who looks for the middle ground in that balance leaning a bit toward core speed. To me, the 3930k and 1650v2 are still worth-while CPU's.

I'm planning to keep my x5675 as long as I can

I keep mine(2) as spares for the systems that have W3680's in them. I also have an X5680 as a spare also.

I'm just thinking about max overclocking, nothing more.
Now that I can’t do anything because I broke my right arm, that’s my only hobby.
If I didn't like overclocking, I wouldn't need a stronger computer than Core2Duo.

Fell off a motorcycle, crushed the elbow of his right hand, 3 surgeries so far, elbow bones removed put metal.
In a month, another operation, broke my nerves, etc ...

I am in negotiations to take rampage III + x5650.

Can I ask why you like the 3680's over the 5675's? Serious question.
I have 3680's that I haven't tried yet. Wondering if it's worth the change.

Unlocked(ThrottleStop softOC) and higher default clocks. In a Dell T3500/T550/T7500 the W3680 was an option for some OCing. Otherwise, yeah the X5680's I had were solid. The X5675's were good too, but in those systems they had a performance limit...

It depends on what you want them to do for you. If you're going to use them in a dual board, then you'll be happy with the performance boost. But if you're going to put them in a board that offers bios controlled overclocking, you'd be better off with the X5675's.

 

[Mr.Scott]

I understand now. Type of board you're using is limiting. Different application for me. I'm using full on enthusiast overclocking boards.

You mean my Avatar? Are you kidding? That is Hollywood's man of gold, Mr. Jeff Goldblum! One of my very favorite actors. He is a fun guy to watch!

Oh you lucky soul! I keep getting the same boards popping up on marketplace.

There was a ftw3 that briefly appeared, but was gone before I finished replying... sad days. @lexluthermiester hand me my melt stick was a great scenE LOL.

Bless, finally received the shipped notice from amazon for the x5675! Arriving Friday from mainland chin'ois.

Are you saying that an overclocked 4P isn't as good as some certain pleasures, like chocolate from the freezer? It's simply amazing.

It's certainly something very cool. But "moist"? Nah mate. Not even close...

But hey, who am I to judge, right?

It's almost as good as when I first opened that SR-2 box.

Adding that to the list of to-do for the week.

without increasing the voltage I managed to get 3351.53MHz with one CPU installed.

Intel Xeon X7460 @ 3351.53 MHz - CPU-Z VALIDATOR

to go higher a bsel mod is required. I hope that works. Should scale very well with voltage, similar to Wolfdale. But at some point Ram will drop out :<
