I know it's one of the best, but still, do I need to be aware of anything?

Hi,
Besides it's still alive and kicking it ? not really :cool:

My x99 sabertooth is still kicking it nightly in my bedrooms entertainment center

No, 4.835 ghz is as good as it can go, it's stable up to 4.750 ghz, I haven't researched much.
I thought it would be able to go over 5ghz for the bench, but unfortunately it can't, and it promised
Better luck next time and I'll see how stable it is at full.

Ah ok, then it’s still quite good in stability but I am a bit surprised you can’t run a few benches at 4.9 + because mine I could even if it was only for short runs.

Nah this is a GREAT mobo.....personally still using it with my 12c Xeon 2697V2 and I never have the single issue also you can get modified bios for it with some good perks(NVME.....etc).....

Thanks for your input, but I couldn't help myself, so I've already ordered it...

No, I tried everything, with the strap, raising the max voltages, with one memory stick, I don't know what else I could try..

I have two of them, my personal favorite X79 mobo. Both have 1680 V2's in them.

It could be a bit “tired” from use and gotten finicky on high mhz/voltage…or…it just is a finicky chip or something in your setup is acting up when you are pushing cpu that far.

Sabertooths have issues running the 1680v2

I haven't had a single issue with either PC running 1680 v2's and Sabertooth X79's. If I had I would have mentioned it long ago.

Same (ran this combo for 3 years).

Zyll Goliat · Jan 5, 2023

'Tho I never owned 1680 V2 I am pretty sure it will work totally fine also my current Xeon 2697 V2 (12c/24t) working perfectly fine and before this CPU I was rocking I7 3820 and Xeon 2650 V2(8c/16t) on this same Asus Sabertooth mobo and never have any issues.....
P.S. Win11 working flawlessly(just need TPM-Fix)

That was referred to @Sora who was probably just trolling. Unless he proves all of us wrong?

Sora · Jan 5, 2023

issues exist with the combination where overclocking, the power delivery isn't up to the task of high current configurations, the topic has been covered by TechYes and multiple users on Overclock.net

Running my two @4.7GHz never presented any issues even while transcoding video. When I got my first 1680 V2 I swapped it with the 4960X that was in the rig without changing anything (and years later still haven't made any changes). I never post anything here I don't have personal hands-on experience with.

Unlike many others unfortunately. I also know that there are people that use telekinesis to move objects that are 20m away, but I don't know them personally, where exactly they live, and I also haven't succeeded in doing so myself.

Does anyone have a LGA 2011 socket R pin diagram by any chance? I'm trying to check if the pins are the culprit for one of the RAM channels not working on my G1.Assassin 2, and I can't find anything useful in web search. Just a bunch of outdated links. Isolating the RAM channel pins from the rest would make it much easier.

Nevermind, I found these:

I'll manage somehow.

Veseleil · Jan 22, 2023

Seems I've fixed the RAM channel problem, not sure how though... And I've also managed to get overclock to work! :clap:

At least the most important aspects of it anyway. Will test it thoroughly, and share the results.
BTW, how do you guys cope with this kind of issues:

I'm on 10... @lexluthermiester any thoughts? Apart from fresh win 10 installation (this one is from my Haswell system), as I know it will install most of them, but what about chipset ones?
Also what tf does this mean:

BTW that Sabertooth deal I've mentioned... The last message from the seller was "sending it tomorrow", and now he's offline for 6 days already. Either dead or w/e.

The Windows 8.1 drivers will work fine on 10.

Indeed.

Or you could buy a down-firing heatsink. Something like this: http://nordic.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001896
With that kind of heatsink, you cool the CPU, VRMs and everything else around the socket all at once. You have to run a higher fan profile but it works.

Let's move that discussion here (and leave that thread for the people that could benefit from it).

Got a 50mm fan on hand. It just sits there on the edge of the "bench table", pointed at the VRM "heatsink. Cooled down that hottie by a significant amount.

My bench :laugh:

And loving these:

Next time I'll order at least 20 pcs. It's like $1.5 from AliE. Simple voltage control 0 - 50 - 100%.

Veseleil · Jan 23, 2023

Update on what I did yesterday. I'll post photos of my BIOS setup later, so you can see how limited it is. RN I'm doing benchmarks on my Z87, and then on a X79.

Anyway, I've settled for now with a 4.5GHz, 1.4V. 2400MHz 1.65V XMP profile on a 32GB (4x8GB) with shitty timings. I don't know shit about memory OC, but I might try to get it done properly, if I find some decent guide or something. Seems stable with all except P95 26.6 (the only one I use on older CPUs), but it might be too harsh on the VRMs. We'll see with the games anyway. That 1.4V isn't a fixed number, more like a maximum (remember, limited OC options in BIOS). Because when running CB for example, various monitoring apps report between 2.70-3.5V. Really I'll just try to measure it with my multimeter at the closest capacitor legs. Just to be sure, so I can get it higher without worries. 4.6 isn't stable, even if I set 4.5V. It won't boot with straps at all, even if I dial down everything, so that's out of the game.

johnspack · Jan 23, 2023

Well lovely.... looks like intel slipped a microcode update out for v3 xeons... my 2699 can no longer do all core turbo with modified bios. My vms start way too slow at 2.3ghz.
Guess I have to give up on x99 as a server platform and just get a 1680v3 and have another gaming box. Too bad the rx570 in it is horribly slow. Oh well... some day.

Agreed. I sometimes forget what thread I'm in when trying to help someone solve a problem.

johnspack · Jan 24, 2023

I'm pretty annoyed about this. Why does intel think their cpus need to run at 2.3.... it's garbage to me now. Do they think I'll buy a 1k xeon that runs at 2.5ghz?
What the hell? Ryzen or TR now. Intel can suck my d....

insert the microcode into the bios and you'll get your all core turbo back, having the mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll override it from windows side is what breaks bios side tweaks. (or delete the dll)
