So far x5765 holding 1.264v for the last 3 months seems good temps never exceeded 65c during the summer as it getting colder here now the max got about 55c during rpsc3 emulator while testing metal
gear solid ps1 classic as it has constanst load for whole cpu between 50 to 60% while the game is nearly at full speed. While other games never goes pass 45c or even less depending on room temp.

Some day I will turn off the turbo mode and go higher on the bus speed and see where it will land on

 

[Mr.Scott]

So just having a fan pointed to the coolers dropped temps by another 10-15c after undervolting for 10c off. Now I'm dialing up and ran through cinebench r20 and cpu-z benches, hoping for a good and stable overclock.

So far, took on a stock 3700x.

EDIT: 4.25ghz is too much for it, so flat 4 it is.

Yes I did do an R20 run, or few, to check it all over.

Nice.
Try a 23x multi and squeeze more bus speed. Someplace in the 180's.

wow Mr.toothless multi 5525 is a bomben result !!
my 5960x puts out near 5000 multi at 4300+
i am speechless of the 5680 xeon multithread performance

2xX5680.....It's dual obviously tho' still good result.......

 

[basco]

thanks Mr.Goliath the shock is now not so severe anymore. but still wow

Wondering about the power consumption for the dual x5680 I say about 450w been swallowed by the dual CPU

That's a bit 2 much maybe...we should ask @Mr.Scott he's been playing with dual Xeons for ages....

As I was thinking what the differences between single cpu and dual cpu power consumption as it must be double when the overclock and vcore goes up. As i was only thinking outside the box. As I'm currently waiting on the power consumption plug to arrive from @phill so I can see what my system is currently pulling from the wall and post up the details

 

[Dinnercore]

This is what my SR-2 with dual OC Xeons supposedly pulled during benches. I find it highly unlikely but its what my watt-meter tells. There was my RTX 2080 Super in there too and a ton of fans plus dual D5 pumps.

 

[Edwired]

You must have 1600 watt power supply feeding the whole during all that benching wondering how much the electricity bill per month

 

[Mr.Scott]

I would imagine the dual 5680's would be doing roughly the same as my dual 5675's.
Running Cinebench 15, I pull almost 700w @ 4.3.

WoW...tho' thats total power consumption for the whole RIG....anyway I am curious If it's pulling 700W in Cinebench how much is pulling in idle?

 

[Edwired]

I say 150w in idle state but could be wrong

This quite a read in power consumption

Intel Xeon 5600-Series: Can Your PC Use 24 Processors?

The professional space is peppered with products derived from the desktop. Today we're looking at Intel's Xeon X5680 CPUs, which look a lot like Core i7-980X, only they're optimized for dual-socket platforms. We're also introducing new Adobe CS5 tests.

[phill]

Keep em cool, you'll be fine.
4.3 on air with minimal effort.
Post some results when you get going.

That'll mean I'll have to get some time to myself and get testing!! Ah the joys of working from home...

I'll do my best when I receive them through. They are currently over in the US at the moment with my mate who I'm waiting to get them tested and see what they are like I think he has a Gigabyte X58A-OC to test them on so... Here's hoping they'll be fairly good !! I'll of course, update you guys with anything I do when I get them through

WoW...tho' thats total power consumption for the whole RIG....anyway I am curious If it's pulling 700W in Cinebench how much is pulling in idle?

I think you can idle about 200 to 300w depending on the overclock... I'll have to have a look at some results when I'm home....

Yes it was a 1600W unit. And I don't run this 24/7, in fact I already switched the system for something else. It was just a fun project
Still my electricity bill is substantial with my hobby... Germany is one of the most expensive countries worldwide when it comes to power. Atleast I profit from super clean 230V with 0 power outages.

Currently I pay 75€ per month and I'm single. So just me and my small flat. No TV even. Just my PCs, fridge and a washing machine. No AC, no electric heater.

 

[Edwired]

Ireland is the second most expensive in electricity as it around 220v it has the variable pulses as i notices the lights in the house dips and goes back to normal

From what I found:

It is 4th. But I digress, lets not dive to far off topic

Voltage has nothing to do with how expensive electricity is...................and it seem if yours is "Pulsing and the lights Dim occasionally then your probably suffering Brown-outs.

Maybe its time you considered an APC

 

[Edwired]

It not really brown out as it because something is pulling too much power outside the house it dont really affect inside the house to be honest. As there's three power line through the town as one is the hospital line, the town line and the housing line

 

[Toothless]

The only issues with having computers as a hobby for me is how expensive new stuff can be and how much my girlfriend hates the power bill being $160+.

 

[Edwired]

The bill here is about between €100 to €130 depending what been used

 

[phill]

The Mrs doesn't moan about anything I do as I pay for the house, the bills, my toys and everything else lol So I don't think she has any reason to do so I just have to remember that sometimes, PC hardware however nice, isn't something we can eat for meals....

Sometimes I can go a little loopy with spends but I know when I can also rein it right in and not spend a penny

I pay all the bills and rent, anything left over gets stuck in my "snack fund."

Lol. In the summer, you would be able to bake a pizza in your apartment by just taking it out of the fridge when that rig is crunching. In the winter, no need for central heating!
