I was wrong guys! CPU is working now. The problem is the psu...

Explain.

 

[HUSKIE]

Explain.

Here is the story. Remember the items that I bought yesterday from a friend with the cx600 psu. I swapped it to Xeon desktop (rm550 psu) then me and my 3yr old son watching his favorites video Thomas and friends then suddenly the Xeon pc switched off by itself and never switch back on. Unplugged the power cable and plugged in but still no sign of post just powering up no beeps at all same as the x79.So I immediately grab x79 stuff and rm550 psu and boom it's boot into the bios... What a experienced. F**king psu... Lol.

Edit. But we test it to my mate system and CPU not boot up. What a strange!!!

I don't know if I should laugh or cry however i'm glad you solved the problem
well done mate.

 

[HUSKIE]

The overclocked Xeon....all day long

Updated my Xeon:

The 3820 isn't bad. It's a little tricky to overclock since you need to use the 125Mhz BCLK strap to hit anything over 4.4Ghz and at that point, practically all power saving features go out the window but, it can be done. My 3820 will go as high as 4.7-4.8 stable and it has booted at 5 albeit unstable but, ymmv depending on the CPU and the motherboard.

They're both good but, if you're going to be sticking closer to stock, the 3820 is probably the winner (say, not much higher than 4.2Ghz which is a light lift for the 3820.) If you're planning on pushing a considerable OC then the Xeon will probably net you more performance in the end. If you're looking for single-threaded performance or plan on using those PCIe lanes, the 3820 might be a bit better as well. It depends on what you're looking for.

I beat yesterdays record.Kinda upset since my memory timings changed unknowingly. I'm gonna clear everyone from the list.
I can submit 1 entry daily it seems. BCLK 107/106/105/104/103/102 and so on. 6 records right there lol I could even use decimals but not going to get retarded.

Why would you do that? First isn't enough you need to wipe out the board? You've already went 'retarded' (lovely word there - doesn't offend anyone when using it...) if you are going to do that. Don't skew the results with that garbage.

 

[natr0n]

One guy has 6 identical submissions(at stock speeds)... now he has 4.

 

[EarthDog]

Great, if someone jumps off a bridge..................

Do the right thing and don't bork the standings with your silly incremental entries.

 

[natr0n]

I'll have 1 more entry tomorrow then him and I will both have 3 with me being the top 3 and him being 3 copies.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Carrying on pushing it man, the top of the table is yours and its good to see the progression..

Want to build a dual socket 1366 now.

Should I choose Supermicro or Asus ?

Rubbish! I say fill the board if you can. That's all anyone else does these days. It'd be funny to watch.

If you're OCing, Asus all day long.

i voted ASUS

Asus (what board ?)
Asus would probably have Better O/C Features (Speculation )

These boards are locked/have no overclocking options. Although with 2, 5680's they would still be fun.

If choosing between those two boards, I'd go with the SuperMicro. MMmmm, dual X5680's. Delightfully powerful for the price you're going to pay.

@natr0n If you have not ordered the board yet, I need to bring attention to the fact that the PCIe 16x slot on the SuperMicro is only 8x electrically.
As a result, need to change my recommendation to the Asus model you listed as it has full 16x lanes for it's 16x slot.

Thankfully I haven't dove into this project just yet.

 

[FireFox]

for Overclock get the Asus, if it is just for fun and overclock it is not a priority get Supermicro, i used to have Tyan.

I had this here:

and the S7012 too.

Not double posting if more than 24 hrs between posts

The Edit function has a finite time limit... not 100% sure how long it stays up atm
