Anyone know if 1155 board compatible with xeon cpu as i was thinking of asus p8-z77-v board for a small upgrade but not too sure yet. As i see it can accept Intel Xeon E3-1245 v2 alright

Is it in the cpu support list? Check!

 

[Edwired]

Hi



Intel Xeon E3-1245 v2 (3.4G,L3:8M,4C,HT,77W) Should be good to go

Source Here

Check CPU World compare here against other cpu's

Note: may be limited by Memory based overclock when using *1600Mhz modules, [*If looking to overclock front side bus; use higher spec modules and run looser memory timings +/- 1]

Pro Tip: Motherboard will require flashing to another version if Intel Xeon E3-1245 v2 is not already supported, *May require previous working CPU on old bios to flash.

I did read the cpu support on that board as it listed supported i seen the same board with i5 3570k cpu not sure what type of memory is with it as it have 2x 8gb but the seller is asking nearly 200 smackers for it or will i just save up and get either x58 or x79

Link said it supported

P8Z77-V - Support

I would go that way, don't bother with z77. I don't want to say its a waste of time, but it kind of is, just to say you are running a Xeon. But on a better chipset, one that you can overclock would be good. I looked at the Xeon E3-1290 v2, and it has a higher tdp than a 3770k, but has slightly higher clocks. Pretty sure the multi is locked, but I could be mistaken. x58 is ok, but is a bit older now, and I don't really recommend building from scratch, unless you have parts already. It is better than lga775 though

 

[Edwired]

Yea suppose ya right there i might stay with what i have at the moment it doing what i want to do. Been playing around with pcsx2 emulator as i like playing resident evil outbreak and outbreak file #2. It nearly butter smooth as it loading from regular hhd i say it be faster if the games are on ssd

 

[MrGRiMv25]

Way back in the day, I bought a first gen revodrive brand new in package from a crackhead on kijiji. That thing hauled ass. Pitiful by todays standards. But, back then when everyone else was using sata2 on x58, pcie was a real treat. I guess it still is..

I did have a look for a revo drive but I'm going X79 with one of those Huanan boards which support NVME boot somehow, plus I can stick in a later model 6c12t/8c/16t Xeon in there for not much money at all.

 

[johnspack]

If anyone is interested, the guy on ebay I ordered my 1680 v2 from has a bunch more server pulled for 199us.
He's sold 124 so far so I think legit. I'll post again when I get my order.

 

[Samiam66]

Well yeah M2 on Chinese X79 should work just fine...However OC with this type of boards its more hit or miss...depends...here few videos that explains more details about it....

Thank you for that info .,.....I was unaware the E5-1620 V2 is a locked proscessor I thought all the E5 series were unlocked
well maybe ts time to push forward with this AMD build havent purchase a proscessor yet ..
waiting to see what is available on amazon prime day

thanks again

That CPU/1650 V2 should be unlocked but again maybe OC was impossible on that particular mobo.....as I said OC on Chinese boards is hit or miss.....GL

 

[Edwired]

As it depend on the board what way they are put together and features avaliable. And the overclockabilty on chinese boards can be quite poor as many factors would be the cause of hit or miss

 

[Samiam66]

Thank you Zyll & Edwired also

Now they did say that the E5-1620 Version 1 Cpu is unlocked and I do have two of those lying around..
but that will limit me two DDr3 1600 memory and I have almost 250-300 gigs of DDr3 1866 memory between
all my HP machines and spares in closet

oh by the way I do know where to get Micron MT9JSF51272AZ-1G9E2ZE
4 gig single rank modules for super cheap..

Micron 4GB PC3-14900 DDR3-1866MHz ECC
Unbuffered CL13 240-Pin DIMM Single Rank Memory
Module MT9JSF51272AZ-1G9E2ZE

I bought 16 sticks for $80

I have decided to build a mid level gamer machine on Amd platform ..And just bought a Asus b450 tuff board
Will probably get a Ryzen 5 or a lower level Ryzen 7 here real soon...

I have a Radeon Rx-580 8 gig video card and will need to get 16-32 gigs of ddr-4 ram

My real reason is I wannna play with M.2 SSD, I currently have 6 SSD drives but they are of the
860 evo, Mx-500 Crucial variety Sata3 connecter

I still need to buy a CPU & Cooler and memory sticks ..But I have everyhting else

 

[Edwired]

Im sure the memory stick your looking for is somewhere on the internet. Try using some website to compare products and prices like example i use www.pricespy.ie as im based in ireland i often looking for ssd as im looking to upgrade the crucial mx100 250gb to mx500 1tb but did find a seller who has a few in store as i spotted he have a 500gb or 1tb mx300 ssd abit cheaper

Get freaky and RAID0 those SATA drives and see what it gets you.

I was able to get my 1650vs to run 1866 memory, but at a significant heat increase.
It really wasn't worth it, as it made me back my overclock from 4.6GHz to 4.2GHz, to keep it under 80C under benchmarking loads.
The difference in performance wasn't but a few points higher in the memory benchmarks, so I'm running 1600.

From what I've read, the 1650 and up were unlocked; I've not tried any others.

Hello All

I have just purchased a new motherboard for a build I am doing ...for a system that is hooked up to my home theatre system
Went with a fairly inexpensive mid grade board..on board M 2 , DDR4 and PCIE 4.0 ready

View attachment 126280


While I was looking i also saw this ..Which intrigued me... lga2011 slot DDR3 compatible and on board M2 slot so it will bootable
option in the bios.. The HP 1589 Boards are all locked down in that respect


View attachment 126281

Has anyone tried this type of board?
were there options within the bios to overclock a E5-1620 V2 ?
I have a spare case and a 750Watt power supply, so it would be a simple straight forward
build

Thank you everyone
Sam

Phil over on PhilsComputerLab has done reviews lately about these kinds of chinese motherboards and seems to be having a good time with them. This seems like it would be worth taking a chance on if you can get a good price on a Socket 2011 Xeon, which is not a far stretch.

I always thought the vcore increases the heat output not the core clock or am i wrong on that as if i had vcore 1.328v idle it jump up to 1.344v when loaded as llc is enabled during games and emulaters but the temps barely hit 61c for a few hours but when i do the stress test the temp skyrocket to about 75c and upward that why i had to stop stressing the overall system. So i just work the long way around taking notes of what works and side effect on each settings and voltages. Xeon e5450 @ 4.3ghz working fine at the moment no crashing since only an odd time it throws it toys out of the pc case and a simple reboot will fix that or sometime just switch it off at the psu for 30 seconds then it be fine for another few weeks

 

[lexluthermiester]

You're right. The increase in voltage will generate more heat.

 

[Edwired]

So look like i bring down the vcore sometime during the week as i was getting error 3b most of the time as that error code wasnt listed for 775 socket as i found that on ivy and sandy bridge overclocking error code. As im trying to lower heat and power usage as much as i can while keeping 4.3ghz as the 4.41ghz was just a quick bench to see if the cpu can take it

 

[johnspack]

So, 1860 v2 owners... I need 1.35v to get 4.7ghz from my 1660 v1 stable with medium llc.
What do I need to get 4.5ghz out of the 1860. Considering I'd prefer not to go over 1.30.

According to science studio on youtube he was able to boot amd 3900x on the b350 board not sure what model he said as i was listening to him instead of looking at the video as i was busy playing with pcsx2

It was a B350 board, but it worked after a few tries.

 

[Edwired]

So look like i bring down the vcore sometime during the week as i was getting error 3b most of the time as that error code wasnt listed for 775 socket as i found that on ivy and sandy bridge overclocking error code.

Look like the xeon e5450 finally hit the wall somewhere between 478 to 490 As at 475 i was able for a few hours without crashing

It was a B350 board, but it worked after a few tries.

I think your correct my bad i found the limit in the xeon e4540 at least it done well

Any pointers to get pass the fsb wall

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

Well, I sent my Z420 back to the eBay seller (gave Linux a try, but it just wasn't meeting my needs), so I don't have an E5 anymore. However, I grabbed a 4,1 Mac Pro for really cheap, so I'm still in the game. I've gone through all the hoops to get it up to 5,1 with Mojave (and RX 580). Currently running a W3520, but the UPS man has my W3690 on its way. I really do enjoy that era of Xeon for some reason. Maybe it's just cause after 10 years, they can still provide a really good experience for most users. Plus now they are dirt cheap!

Guess I'll be a member of this club in a week...

Had a $5 coupon. A 4 core 8 thread CPU for $11.80 is pretty good. It'll replace the aging Core i5-650 in my old Optiplex 980. I want to turn that system into a small form factor console killer, just need half height video cards to come down in price.

That has a pretty good clock speed on it. I think you'll be quite happy with it.
