I ran an X5690 ES for a long time. It clocked very well MHz wise. I have a few sets of really good DDR3 still.. you were asking if C8 was good? Its ok. You would have to play with them to see what they do. If you are looking still, try to find a W series chip, preferably a higher binned hexacore. You will have access to memory dividers that you do not get on X series Xeons. The X chips are very boring for memory clocking, but they still rip when you wind them up.
Right unfortunately the p6t deluxe was a piece of shit, shame i never examined it better. Lesson learned not to buy second hand boards of some twat on facebook. The board will only power up without the EATX 8 pin connected, it had some bent pins which i sorted, the socket has a broken screw on the metal backplate, it has some "stains" on the back. obviously he has blocked me.
If i connect the 8 pin Eatx power above the cpu socket it will not boot the psu trips, with it unplugged it boots, don't know if it posts as no gpu yet.

Yeah i would take first the 12100F but no its way to expensive atm,
12100F 106€ tray
H610 94€
8GB same for 29€
--------------------
229€ for 4 cores + 15€ ill need a new cooler too
That power supply alone would've wowed me. At first I thought since it's just 200W maybe that's the only circuitry. But looks like there's another AC-DC part that's needed. At almost $140 combined, why not Silverstone FX500? It's a flex psu and 500 watts to boot. And it's $150 on Amazon.
Yeah I use a Dell brick. Unfortunately my case (L5) only supports external AC-DC, no room or cutout for flexATX/TFX. I know the 200W internal AC-DC you're referring to, I use it in the other HT5 build with another 200W DC-ATX - slightly bigger case.

oh well while i wait for my cyberpunk neon demon girl themed phone case :
Nillkin to the rescue ... nice one thick and sturdy (impossible to flex like a silicone case) and with a camera module protection (or privacy protection? naaaahhhh selfie cam is not "protected" hehehe)
need it cheap and efficient? IcyBox has it covered!
i bought a 50chf seagate Barracuda 2tb to replace one of my 1tb Toshiba DC01ACA100 and then got a IcyBox IB-AC705-6G USB 3.0 enclosure for 7chf, hell yeah combined price ... around the price of one of those 2 DC01ACA100 back when i bought them it even has 6 slots for uSD cards convertible to 6 SD cards by removing the foam (no idea about the right side slot tho )
oh, and it came bundled with the extra power supply in case it's needed (aka: with 3.5" need it, with SSD and 2.5" works without) and the Sata to USB adapter is, ofc, usable without the enclosure.
still looks great!
edit: well after the Eldris i had to get a Morakniv Robust, who's making a feature appearance in the background (and robust it is! damn awesome for a 15chf knife... ) next ... maybe a Mora No.711, since i intend to gift the Robust to my father.
That screams a short circuit! Often because of a shorted MOSFET or whatever for the CPU circuit. Unless it's a short from that stuff on the back that looks like possibly mouse or rat urine!
Was that really a botched soldering job? It reminds me of flux, but not sure!
Been scratching my "upgrade" itches with some non-video card purchases. After giving in and getting MS flight Sim 2020 to replace my aging 2002 version; my 500GB nvme quickly showed its space limitations. (it only has Windows 11, office 2019, firefox browser and Forza 3 on it) Hoping that I can clone this over easily, would hate to have redo my install. Thankfully my 1TB SSD holds all my other crap.
@Tigger
I think that board needs cleaning with some 90%+ IPA and then examined for problems. If you're willing to do the work, you might be able to fix it up.

personally, I still swear by Terabyte's Image for Windows. They have a trial, works fine for a 1:1 copy. Just used it two days ago to image my 500Gb to the new 1Tb, no issues.

It's quite an old board, they tend to look like that and it might very well be flux that wasn't cleaned properly at the factory.
Never know that to cause an issue though and it's nigh on impossible to clean.
Could be a dead cap or something as well.
Picked up a pair of rgb ram heatspreaders for my "plain janes", got those installed already and a corsair commander xt with an accompanying corsair to argb adapter cable. Havent installed that yet tho.
no pictures because I forgot to take pictures before putting my Xr mini in it and I can't take the Xr mini out
and the 4S hasn't charged yet
Somewhat damaged iPhone 4S on iOS 9.2. JailbreakMe v4 + BetterHomeDepot time! Yes yes I know iOS 9 is slow on A5 chips, but I have a Mini 1. This is because I found a 4S on 9.2 and I wanted to get it, fix it, resell it for more.
no due to limited space on my desk i replace my meshify S2 with something more compact.
