That's the problem .... I'll have to sell it cheap LOL

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

try and sell to me then. PM me.

Dunno I sold a P6T V2 with an X5570 for $200 just a few months ago. Wouldn't really call it cheap.

Also if you're going to go to LGA2011 and get a Xeon, don't get an E5-26xx series. Get an E5-16xx. You get an unlocked multi.

Here's my E5-1650 in CineBench at 5GHz:

Is that on air?

Another thing I have money spend is on the WC system, and if i sell the X58 platform I will have to buy another CPU block or to forget WC and go air.

That's under a Corsair H80i.

Hi friends.
Lost my mind and joined the Xeon club ... bought an X5675

It only arrives next week

Any advice/tips for OCing with the Asus P6T Deluxe V2? What OC do you think is possible for daily use?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

What OC do you think is possible for daily use?

4.6 - 4.7ghz

 

[jvidia]

4.6 - 4.7ghz

Substitute "in my bedroom" for "in the house" and you have got it smack on for my place.

Any good Xeon wallpappers arround ? X5600 series would be great!


Need some at 1920x1200 res.

you could ask this dude called @Rezasam1

he might do you something like this

or this

Wow, that is someone that hasn't been active is quite some time.

Hope he's okay.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

He was here at the end of last year he did a Pipboy one for a friend of mine.

Anybody got a spare Xeon they'd sell for like $40? I just scored a Rampage III Gene and came up short on local options. Really would rather not have to try eBay.

 

[jvidia]

$40 is a little short no?

 

[Fouquin]

$40 is a little short no?

Quad-core Xeons are around $40, so not really that short. But it's irrelevant, found a buyer for the Rampage III and have moved on.

 

[jvidia]

I was thinking about the 6 core/12mb ones. Sorry

Hello Everyone,

although i have been a member of this community for quite some time now, i have never ever posted anything/anywhere ( i can't remember anyway) mainly because i always found the solutions to any problems from other people's posts and kind replies until now and because i tend to be shy...

Anyway, long story sort, i decided to go big for a change with my personal computer, and purchased the following parts (also mentioned in my system specs).

Intel Xeon E5-2667 V3 > actually is an engineering sample (maybe part of my problem???)
Asus X99 Pro/usb3.1 with latest bios (3004)
64GB 3200MHz DDR4 Gskill Rip Jaws V (4x16GB set) with 16-16-16-36 latency
500GB Samsung evo 250 SSD (actually still using my trusty old samsung 830 250GB ssd because i didn't wanna do a clean install of windows-not yet)
EVGA GTX 980Ti SC 6GB (upgrade from an evga gtx 960 2GB SC)

Now i have 2 problems that require your expert advice/knowledge).

1) I suspected that buying a xeon cpu would prevent my ram to run at the specified speed of 3200MHz, since the xeon cpu officially supports up to 2133MHz, BUT it never crossed my mind that i could only run my ram at 2133MHz at much higher latencies than 16-16-16-36-2T. Actually whatever i do with the bios, my ram runs at best at 2133MHz with shitty 31-31-31-63-3T timings or the system does not boot at all.

2) The Xeon cpu is an engineering sample, but the seller specifically mentioned and showed with cpu-z screenshots that it could run at 3.20MHz with all cores, AND although the maximum multiplier in the bios is 32 (and cannot be changed to anything higher) the cpu runs at 2.90MHz default with only 3.00MHz overboost with all cores. AGAIN, no matter what i try to set in the bios, auto/manual/xmp overclock, nothing makes a difference. I don't wanna sound like i whinning/spoiled kid but since i have paid the cpu with my hard earning euros, and quite enjoy the 35MB of L3 Cache (ES sample remember) i have to admit that i am overwhelmed with the overclocking options of the motherboard and believe that i am doing everything wrong.

My point is> What i am doing "not right"?
I really really would like to run my ram (at the very least) at 2133MHz with 16-16-16-36-2T timings...
I really really would like to run my cpu (at the very least) at 3.20-3.40MHz.

Again, i say, don't get me wrong, even now the performance is stuggering, but i don't feel i am getting my money'worth. If this is indeed the case because i have made poor matching of cpu and ram, then please explain it to me with sensible arguments.

Thank you in advance for your time.

How i can upload some pics with benchmarks and screenshots of cpu-z and gpu-z?

@kkarab , there is a similar thread on XtremeSystems, and according to their findings it is a simple bug/misreading in CPU-Z. Try Aida64 or HWInfo to lookup memory timings.
In order to post a screenshot simply drag the image to post window.

Thank you very much dear sir, i thought i was going insane just checking at the timings all the time. The real timings are 15-15-15-35 2T so i am really confident now that i can go down to 14-14-14-34 2T for 2133MHz (maybe even try 11-11-11-31 2T).

Any tips/advice/sugestions for the cpu? Is there anyway i can slightly overclock it to 3.2-3.4 or even possibly 3.50MHz? The best thing would definitely be something like BCLK=125 with multi=28....

 

[silentbogo]

Not sure if you can get a high overclock from this chip, but essentially the only option is to push BCLK a bit, and test for stability if system boots OK.
With an apparent lack of overclocked Haswell-EP submissions on HWBot or other places I can assume that even BCLK won't go higher than +5% and effectively does nothing good (except making your system unstable).

You can try and bump your RAM voltage to 1.35V and see how low you can push your timings. That would be a more rewarding/successful exercise.
