BTW I used that X58 mobo- DX58M01 with I7 930 & 6Gb ddr3 that I bought cheaply and put them into some older "kinda" cute case in combo with my old ATI 5450 and WD 160gb it´s almost a "baby gaming"machine(need just some decent GPU) and I "flipped"over just after few days on sale...not bad I earn a few bucks and get rid off some of my old hardware that was laying around :peace:

I found 1366 Motherboard for my Xeon x5670 now. Bought really cheap with haf case, hx850w psu and cooler.

The MSI X58 series boards are quite good
I have one and Caps has had several

Overclocking now. Can't go up to 4.5ghz...
4.0ghz with 1.32v

Nice.

That is a good OC and at a reasonable voltage. I'd call it a day and enjoy.

Intel's VID max spec is 1.35v for that chip, so you're a healthy level below that maximum.
https://ark.intel.com/products/4792...r-X5670-12M-Cache-2_93-GHz-6_40-GTs-Intel-QPI
You might be able to get 4.1ghz with 1.335v(IIRC that's the next voltage step up for that board) or 1.3425v. But I wouldn't push above 1.35v. However some have and do with no ill effects. I tend to play it safe.

Yeah, x58 was fun. But with 15% ipc increase, and clocks like this at the same voltage, I'll take my Sandy-e xeon every time...

That's a good point. However, that series of CPU's still carry a hefty price tag. 1366 CPU's do not and still provide competitive performance. Thus the fun, novelty and appeal. When the 2011 socket CPU's come down in price, they will likely become the new golden novelty performance platform.

Anyone that has experience with LGA 771 boards? I can get a Intel S5000XVN for cheap. Dual E5405's with beefy 6 heatpipe coolers. What wattage power supply do I need for this? Also has a PCI-E x16 slot. Is this board worth it or should I skip it? All will cost me about 50 bucks.

That's a good price if it all works. I say go for it if you can put it to good use.

HUSKIE · Aug 22, 2018

Finished. Changed the cooler from the previous one to v6gt cooler. Sit the aio rad (gtx 1080)next to Psu.

Japie073 · Aug 22, 2018

What kind of power draw can i expect from a setup like that, the guy told me to have atleast a 800w PSU. I feel like that may be overkill. Will a 500w do the trick?

Really depends of the other components that you have in the Rig,especially the GPU and off course depend how and if you going to OC.....I personally have 500W PSU and my CPU(6 core Xeon E5645) is OC on 4,1Ghz in combo with GTX 970(OC) and everything working flawlessly......Hmm not sure but if you might asking actually for 771 socket with dual Xeons on it then I don´t have a clue :banghead:

I just upgraded my HP DL380 G5 from dual 5160s to x5460s. Not a bad $25 investment:

You should try to improve the timings of the memory and boost the QPI data strap clock (300 MHz above uncore is optimal).
