X5675 @ 4.5GHz right now. Needs some voltage and I don't know about the stability, Prime95 makes it throttle so well, I'm testing its stability via gaming. Crashed once, I had to increase the vcore.

I also upgraded the GPU from HD 7970 to R9 290X as I got one practically for half free. I'm surprised how fine that setup still runs even modern games (unless it's about the CPU instructions)

Yeah X58 still have some raw power....the only problem now is missing AVX support so maybe certain/newer games can not be started.....

So you guys are parring a RTX 3080 and like wise cards with X58 and people a few years ago called me crazy to pair my own X58 system with a GTX 1080 TI. But cool it still works. All throw cpu and PCIe gen 2 is a bottleneck. But who cares, it´s a matter of having fun with X58. I had fun while i had my X58.

My own system is here, for those curious or havent seen it yet: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/x58-overclocking-club.293221/post-4725377

All throw i dont have it any more, i am having fun in another way now with my current system.

I think RTX 30x0 series will be last series of cards that's be feasable to use on X58 (especially on high end).
If it won't be lack of GOP support (or EFI vBIOS support), it will be Windows 10 x64 support minimum on later GPUs, software requiring AVX(2) support or bad single core performance, that will push X58 CPUs to brink of usefullness.

I forget, what were you able to get your old X5670 up to? I hope this is an improvement, that higher multi should be helping.

edit: Also, try givin' her 1.45v and see what happens

Yeah, though haven't got any problems, at least not yet. Also 290X is a surprisingly good card, even today.

My older CPU was X5650, ran it at 4.2. Needed pretty much voltage though. And I actually put 1.45V now so we should be fine for now. :toast:

Back it down man. 4.5 is just too much for the voltage you're likely giving it. If you're not careful you going to burn it out.

Nah bro. 4.55GHz and I'm aiming for more.

So you don't care if you kill it then? I'm not judging, just expressing concern. If it's not your daily driver, then no worries, have fun. :toast:

A quick googling seems that 1.45V doesn't degrade it, it's more than Intel recommends, but not dangerous. It throttles during prime but not in gaming, and that's just due my apartment being hella hot.

The GPU gives artifacts if more than 1090MHz though, had to drop it from the previous 1111MHz. Gotta love that Rockstar has fixed GTA IV, runs practically at stable 60fps everything maxed out even with that system, it's not that long when it still suffered from shitty porting.

1.45v is nothing to be concerned with.. if you can cool it. It will let you know when enough is enough.. you still have some left. I would start getting nervous around 1.575-1.6v.

That's what I thought as well. I just hope that the weather (and my apartment with it) gets cooler soon so I can truly test its limits. As I said, in Prime it throttles, but when gaming, it's not that hot.

freeagent · Aug 18, 2022

Well prime is a pretty severe load. Usually in the summer months I would keep it between 4300-4400MHz, or 1.375v-1.4v.. pretty much in the stock VID range.. of the i7 variant

But same shit different pile.. whatever.. Just go until you cant cool it, and she will be fine where you leave it.

Fair enough. I've never pushed them that far. Was always worried about long-term degradation. If it works, then cool-beans! I guess I'm a bit of a worry-wart where voltage is concerned.

It's purely about my apartment's temperature, 26C ambient so that does show in computer temps. :laugh:

I powered on my MSI X58 Pro-E SLI, W3680 @ 3.8GHz, 2x HD 5770 XFire to test a Seasonic S12II 620W PSU I reworked. Surprisingly good performance for such an old platform - even with Win11.

The GPUs need an upgrade though. Your CPU is fine especially with some more overclocking.

I feel bad for jamming in nearly 1.7v to get that 5.2ghz, but the 980X looked at me funny and it needed a punishment. Competition you know. (I didnt win though lol)

Definitely not on air. That was benching frequency on LN2

Maxed that one out 5.5ghz.

I ran a X5675 @ 1.7v from BIOS to Windows, on air, all cores w/ HT enabled for 5GHz... not saying it's a good idea... I hit the PSU's switch right after validation

Oh hell guys, I may not go that high.

No probably not. 4.6ghz on air is a very dandy frequency, but these chips just LOVE the v-core. All else fails, more more more... cooling too though.

I have never had a chip that scaled like my x5690.. it was like clockwork! It only stopped because I couldn't cool it anymore

Back in the "binning" days. Still a thing, but older chips you could fine a diamond that would be 300mhz faster than all the rest!

Still have it?

I may just fine-tune it tho... :rolleyes:

Just sucks that the card (290X) isn't a good clocker, dammit.
