8C16T each, not bad. Are you ocing at all? Can't tell what exact board you've got. Looks kinda looks like a SuperMicro..

 

[biffzinker]

Yes, the SSD is mounted weird.

I didn’t even notice the unusual location.

@Toothless

Someone else with Hyper212 Black Editions?

Yessir

Supermicro X9DRL-if/3f......not possible so just running them stock on WCG

Jeez that must be a tight fit to get in the case. Wondering about the power consumption when running full tilt?

Probably 250w. Smaller chips than mine and those max at 100w/ea.

Hey guys got a question is it normal or weird that I'm getting memtest max contiguous errors as it sometimes random that it shows one error and after a few restart it show multi errors usually around the 5400mb range is that a sign of faulty ram or something triggering that. As I ran windows 10 own memory diagnostic and it reported no errors. Not sure what to do to fix it. Any pointers?
I could say it could be either weak ram or heat related or something causing it to bit flip resulting the errors in memtest

Looks like it something to do with trfc setting being at 88 causing the issue as it could error out before 10 to 15 mins in memtest86 v4.3.7 booted by USB. So at the moment I bumped trfc to 100 and testing it again no errors yet as I have to wait and see if it passes on the first go.

Thinking the trfc being 88 is abit short causing some sort of stability issue if I am correct on the theory....

Looks like it passed the first time without errors. Looks promising at the moment

This looks cool

Was getting weird issues with 200 blck it having weird quirks when tested with memtest86. So I back it off to 191 with multi 22 to make it 4.20ghz. And that works fine with memtest86. Then it dawned on me that having the blck between 200 to 215 it was explained in another forum that the pcie frequency have to be bumped up from 100 to 101 to overcome the weirdness in stability. All the voltages are the exact same as before

Did you try bumping it forward to 201mhz? That is the golden speed I've nearly always had success with.

 

[Edwired]

Currently testing with 200 blck with the pcie frequency 101 at the moment it passed the first time but when the pcie frequency was 100 it kept failing the memtest86 at a random time when i rebooted it few times it kept saying continuous error at 5400mb sometimes 5700mb. I have tested the rams one by one no issues so I know the rams are not faulty. I think something to do with blck and pcie frequency relationship causing the weird stability but I will try your method later on lexluthermiester

Hello, which xeon do you indicate to me from socket 775?

Hello, which xeon do you indicate to me from socket 775?

Depending on what motherboard you have as some support xeon and some won't support it. This usually involved modding the bios to add in the specific microcodes to make the motherboard detect the microcode for the xeon chip and boots it as if the microcode is not added you may see no post or weird issues
Xeon E5450 is a good one to have in my experience

 

[Toothless]

Quick and dirty. Gotta host them gamez. x5675.

I would recommend going with an X3350, X3360, X3370 or X3380, if you can find them where you live.

That is a socket 771 CPU. While it can be modded, such an involved task is not something for everyone.

Well...yeah depend sometimes they already come with sticker/adapter on it...so ain't that difficult task...

Just noticed this threat and wanted to chime in that I'm also part of "this club"

2 Rigs actually:
Mine - 2690v1 // 16GB DDR3 1866 (running all-core with HT at 3.5Ghz) on "Idontreallyrememberx79 - which replaced my asus x79WS" (a replacement x79WS would have cost as much as a whole x99 set )
Wife - 2630v3 // 16GB DDR4 2166 (also running all-core with HT at 3.5Ghz) on "Machinist x99-k9"

Both run with Corsair H115i (1st Gen) and Asus 3070 - so both are incompatible with win11 (no TPM2.0) but still more than enough for all games we play as a couple anyway so .... I don't feel tempted
to change much



Also one Rig which is currently not up and running as I intended to set it up in my PC but it "doesn't look that nice" in my LianLi O11D (because the MB is "a bit too wide" with 31cm to look nice):
2x 2689v3 with 2x 16GB DDR4 2166 (on a Chinese x99 dual-MB with C612 / x99 chipset )

Good point. Premodded would be easy.

The microcode injection carries some risk, though, as does the socket mod. I bent a couple of pins (which I was able to bend back ) during that part of the process.

There isn't much of a risk for bios modding by adding in the specific microcodes as it may not be for the faint of heart unless someone screw it up without reading / understanding the method. All someone had to do is ask one of the members on this forum to ask nicely for the modded bios. As I can mod the asus p5q series motherboards bios so it can be supported. And for the socket pins you must be rough with it or letting something drop in it

The knife slipped while I was trimming the alignment nubs. Apparently the accepted method is to notch out the CPU PCB instead. Oops.

 

[Edwired]

That would be the correct method I bet the motherboard socket scream in pain when you let the knife slip

Here's the teaser of underclocking the dram and uncore with modest cpu clock

 

[Edwired]

Being tinkering with certain settings and I noticed one is specifically peaked my interest is the B2B cas delay. as there's not a whole of information of what it does. So I took up the task to see what does it affects going from auto = 0 to 12. As tests is being used is Aida64 memory and cache benchmark. As far as I am aware 0 is the same as 4 as both shows the similar results in read, write and copy but as soon you bump up the number the read, write and copy starts to go down in usually means loss in performance but gain more stability. So I'm thinking that the stock 1600mhz ram should be peaking 12800 MB/s regardless not above the rated bandwidth like 25000mhz reading as I'm getting in Aida64

Sometimes there is much more fun to find the perfect middle-ground between OC and power-consumption

 

[Edwired]

This is what I am getting with the B2B cas delay set to 8. It seems to me if I had the B2B cas delay in auto it might be pushing the memory so far in read, write, copy causing the stability in the system unless the memories I have can't handle the higher bandwidth with B2B cas delay in auto so I settled for the B2B cas delay to 8.

Hi Guys!

I just bought this MB and Intel specs says that it supports ECC officially. Has anybody tested this motherboard with ECC? You know that I tested 2rx8 ECC Reg on other X58 boards and they are working fine but if this MB supports ECC officially i can get 2rx4 ECC even cheaper than 2rx8.
What about those 4 slots, will triple channel work with 4 slots or only witb 3? I've never seen X58 board with 4 slots.
