What that voltage applied to?

1.7v for dimm voltage, 1.68v for qpi voltage.
X5675 @ 4.3 (187x23) 1.33v vcore on air. My 24/7 OC.

That's bold voltage. Or maybe I never dared push it that high...

It time to say good bye to the asus p5q deluxe with xeon e5450 as it served me well. With the personal records that i broke on it, it came a long way and alot of learning

It's like anything else, as long as you can keep it cool, it'll be ok. Been running like this for a couple years now.
It's actually my SR-2 and 2 5675's.

Once it's gone, you can't get it back!! Sell at your own risk!

I think he means he's just retiring it from active use.

It been sitting here gathering dust since i have the asus p6x58d-e with xeon x5675 up and running. So i have to sell it so someone else can have fun with it Just waiting for someone to spot this in ireland and buy it from me as i have it up on adverts.ie it have the nvidia gt710 2gb ddr3 with it so it can be used as either media center or emulation station

Give that setup 8GB of ram and a GTX 660 or 670 and it would be a rocking system for either of those uses and even some older/classic/retro gaming!

No. Air. Pair of True 120's with 110 cfm Scythe fans.

Did you ever tried to maximized the amount of RAM on that SR-2?

True but i had two asus gtx 750 ti 2g but sold them ages ago would have been a perfect set up
@lexluthermiester That asus p5q deluxe have 8gb already

 

[Mr.Scott]

Did you ever tried to maximized the amount of RAM on that SR-2?

No. Honestly I have no need for more than 12 gig.
I have another set of Corsair Dom GT's, I could go to 24gig if I ever needed to.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Oops...

No. Honestly I have no need for more than 12 gig.
I have another set of Corsair Dom GT's, I could go to 24gig if I ever needed to.

I have found that 18GB is a solid sweet spot for 1366 based systems. I find myself getting into the 14GB range of ram usage but that is only during intensive multi-tasking. I have 24GB in my gaming rig, but never gets close to using all of it.

 

[Edwired]

I only need 12gb on my pc as the closest of maxing out when i have over 20 tabs open on firefox all video related it would start to run slower but dont crash at all

@lexluthermiester

Look like i have a buyer for the asus p5q deluxe. Seen another seller trying to sell nearly €75 for asus p5q ws with intel q9300 8 gb Ddr2 800, 4 x 2, kingston no gpu and a missing a dimm clip it been active over a year and none of them bought it. Where i posted mine up within a day it was snapped up quickly for under €100

 

[Zyll Goliat]

Well I always have open more than 40-50 tabs on three screens(I know...I know...)in opera and if I shutdown the computer I continue where I stopped last time so more tabs incoming daily....occasionally I closed them all and clean a mess with CCleaner.....+ of course I do gaming with all those tabs open as I love to listen music or some videos from youtube while I am playing....atm I have 34gb and that is enough(for now)as just open tabs knows to eat around 10+gb sometimes... also some games can eat pretty much as well....Star Citizen is notoriously famous as a memory eater I remember that the MAX memory usage while a was playing that game + some open tabs in background exceeded 25gb....And yeah Editing of course that can eat memory a lot as well....back on X58 platform I have 30Gb in all 6 slots now on X79 I add 2 more sticks for 34Gb total(for now).....I don't know I love to have plenty of RAM it's a kind of luxury that is not(always)needed but still feels very comfy....

 

[Edwired]

Your mad for that amount of ram hahaha

 

[Zyll Goliat]

Your mad for that amount of ram hahaha

Maybe....but hey atm my memory usage is at 19149mb....playing Star Citizen on triple screen +watching RedLetterMedia/Half in the Bag and reading/replaying on this forum post +more than 60 open tabs ....you can do all that also with way less memory but then you will loose some fps in games or you will feel occasional hiccups and I hate that so.....

 

[Edwired]

Cool to know

I am really sceptical about those Chinese motherboards I know that there are some Ok boards considering the price....saying this,that is pretty neat configuration price/performance wise...more benchmark pls...also you have 2678 V3 how's that RIG doing?

I selling these for light gaming pc-s, i dont have time to benchmark much.
I am still waiting for the second cpu for my dual 2678v3 rig (i have only one currently). The chinese post is very slow now.
The Asus Z10PA-D8 is works with the v3 all core hack. I will post benchmarks when the second cpu arrived.
I am not using the efi driver because i find a way to inject into the bios.

This bios mod works allmost all 2011v3 motherboard, even the server and dual versions! Remove the microcode and install the FFS file to the bios.

Yeah sure I know for X99-Turbo-Hack it's supposed to work on almost all morherboards tho' I never tried,never own X99 before.....also this GUY explains all details how to do it.....
How much did you paid that dual Asus Z10PA-D8 motherboard?It was cheaper for a while but now is up in price again....

 

[masterdeejay]

That is the old way in the video remove the microcode and install efi driver to bios.
But i inject the efi driver permanently to the bios, so no cmos clear/windows reinstall/microcode update... etc can remove it! It works but recommented to have an usb external bios writer tool.
x99 is only cheap with chinese mobo, the brand mobos is still expensive.
