X58 overclocking club

jjnissanpatfan · Mar 24, 2022

I love my x58 system. I still have mine in my work office and has not been turned on in a few weeks. It stays overclocked at 4.0 from 3.2 i think. I can push it more ...it loves the attention. I said for like the past 3 years when this x58 system dies I will buy a new pc. It never died so I gave in and built the AMD system I use now to surf the web and pay bills with. Built the x58 Feb 2009 and the only upgrade was to a 32mn processor and a few video cards. Socket 775 was fun with a core 2 duo take a 1.86 chip to 3.5. Socket A with the barton core but the x58 is still going and my favorite.

This will be my first X58 OC in a while, I looked and this was the first board I found...

It has a 980X in it :pimp:

figure i'll fire it up next week, got to find a co0ler and ram, but know dat i got it

I also have a SS Phase, so I need to find out the newest tech to protect the board.
Don't think I have any of the old moldable eraser that i used to use, lololololol

Also love the 775, I have lots of chips and boards, just need to get off my chip holder and start rocking :rockout:

Enjoy

I still use eraser. lol
I wish I had SS, but my chiller is good to -30 so it's not all that bad.
Post up some benchmarks when you're up and running.

Oh Shat, I love those Super Talents, i know i would have NEVER sold them, also the gskillz but not sure if I still have those.

I crunch so my house is one big computer room. But the wife wants its back.
I am converting washer/dryer closet into a computer room, so i am going thru everything i own,
it's going to take a while but I should have the new computer room up and running before easter

It's like a treasure hunt thru my computer history...

looking forward to OC again....

They are pretty good.. excellent BBSE for certain :cool:

I prefer the Hyper MGH-E’s for my old cpu, 1600 6-6-6-20 1.65v is perfect for Xeon :toast:

Found a couple..

RyzenMaster.sys · Mar 25, 2022

A bit ago I took some Xeons to the max. Initially, I was using my Asus P6T6 WS Revolution due to its "16 phase" vrm, but ran into issues. It's not the best board for xoc, as it turns out. So I turned to my Rampage III Formula. It may only have a single working memory channel, but it oced nicely.

First up was my X5670:

Max all core overclock was 4.8ghz:

Going for maximum frequency with just 1 core enabled I managed 5.5ghz.

Unfortunately my X5670 did not survive this test. So, don't try this at home folks.

Several years ago I won an auction of 50 Xeon E5620s, so I went through binning them to find the one that could do maximum clockspeed.

I cracked 5ghz and gave up since I didn't feel like wasting more time.

As far as cooling? not very creative. $50 aio shoved in some ice water. Made sure to keep the NB and vrm cool. Also the 3 rams sticks were just for show. The only one able to work was the middle one since the board is broken. Oh well.

Alright, let's try 4.27GHz...

4.2 is already fine but if it would go 4.3, I'd be damned!

Crashed. Let's try again at 4266MHz. Gimme some thumbs ups!

What divider is your RAM typically at during these tests?

Angh.... I'll say that it's under 1600 now, it's running the test atm... I'll report later.

And THANK YOU, you've been a huge help for me! ^^

edit: on next boot, crashes or not, I'll raise the PCIe clock to 110 at least

No problemo

The thing that gives me the most pause on your setup is the RAM configuration. It's extremely helpful ofc to have >12GB, but 6 DIMMs limits OC significantly.

Try the 3x electric blue HyperX in your sys, in 2nd/4th/6th slot, that may be a magical improvement. Sometimes tricky but that board will take 8GB DIMMs btw if you wanted to upgrade to 24GB.

Argh.... I get ur point but I want to get 24/7 clocks and that involves all the RAM there is, not those 1866s but all of the sticks.

I admit that I'm drunk as a captain, but I'll try later today (it's 4.53 here) to macgyver some cooling to the RAM! :toast:

Also I'm seriously thinking of getting another 7970... I know that CF is dead for modern games, but so is 1st gen Core CPUs, kinda..

Yay or nay?

Fk my life. Running insane suicide voltages @ 4.4GHz.. I hope it's Linpack stable :rolleyes:

1.5v oh my..

Stable. I'm not stopping yet even with these suicide voltages... :laugh:

You can bring that uncore clock way down to 2400MHz if you want to - is it possible your chip doesn't like 3200MHz+? Having it high is obviously good for performance but you're trying for CPU freq atm. How's QPI voltage? And imo if you can keep it cool + view chips as disposable, then I'd seriously consider up to 1.55v for a daily system as an absolute max. But if you're pegged at 87°, that's more damage than it's probably worth...

Westmere needs min 1.5x DRAM clock, Bloomfield needs min 2x DRAM clock. Some motherboards don't make this clear

As for crossfire... ehhh personally I'd say nay to that. Unless you're A) collecting the parts anyway or B) have always wanted to use crossfire with DX12 cards. Looking for an older card I'd grab a GTX 970, it's slightly more expensive but worth it for current driver support and +30% performance over 1x HD 7970 (basically equal to 7990 perf at far less power).

I tried for 4.5 but I finally hit the wall. Some little voltage tuning, running Linpack again. I'll check the settings later!

That board looks kickass! 2x 8 pins for an 8-phase, it must be an absurdly capable one.

That DRAM VRM also looks better than what many motherboards have for the CPU... :twitch:

Y'all are a bad influence. I just spent a whole USD20 on an X5680 to supplant the 5670 that's currently in my Sabertooth. I'm hoping it'll help solve whether the limiting factor is chip, board or cooling. Also curious if there's easy gains to be had with more multiplier. Probably should have ordered two.

Let's be real; the limitation is probably skill, patience or both.
