Xeon Owners Club

God the itch is just getting bigger and bigger since I haven't turned on my pc since the 16th of October

I might have missed something. Why?

I might have missed something. Why?

Nothing missed yet as I haven't gotten a chance to clean my pc since 16th of October that why the itch is getting bigger because I'm out of town in the auntie's house out the middle of no where and can't really do anything at the time being which driving me insane to be honest

 

[Mr Bill]

can't really do anything at the time being which driving me insane to be honest

Yes you can, you can kick back and reflect and enjoy this moment of peace in your life. I would Love to be where your at today, away from all the BS going on around all around this earth, savor the moment.

Are their any Dell T620 owners in this thread?

It would be nice to know if others get an error when trying to reset the embedded network controllers to default.

Thank you
Bill

I would recommend trying servethehome forums or various reddit threads (/homelab, /sysadmin, /homeserver, /dell), I doubt you will get your answer here when it comes to server hardware.

Seems stable so far. Cooled with custom loop so no worries about the vcore.

 

[Mr.Scott]

I'd try 21x multi and less bus speed. Odd multi's work better. Overclock might get better. Bus speed makes everything flaky when you start getting to 210 or so.
Your uncore freq can come up also. Try to keep it closer to your QPI link freq. There is a significant performance increase.

 

[RyzenMaster.sys]

Just because it's cool doesn't mean vcore doesn't matter. Nahalem can fail pretty easily with excessive voltage.

Nahalem does take well to bclk ocing though, sometimes you can get better memory frequency and CPU speed out of lowering multi and increasing bclk.

I usually lock the multiplier at the maximum and then increase bclk to increase the clockspeed past that since ram ocing has never been fun to me due to the stability issues you can have and how difficult they can be to fix.

According to Intel, 1.35V is the maximum recommended. But to think that these CPUs cost like 10-15EUR, it's not that serious if this degrades or dies.

That is true. However I would try and find out if you could tune the voltage down a bit. Depending on where the clockspeed wall is for your particular chip, you might be able to run a lot less voltage at 4.1ghz, it 4.0 if the wall is before 4.2.

Yeah I could do that. I'll run tests later as I'm using the rig now (had a minor water spill on my main rig last night, I'll let it dry still for few hours). 4GHz is fine for me if it's achievable with noticeable lower voltage than 4.2.

I'll drop it step by step and run some hours of Prime95 smallFFT.

My X5670 (cost me $9.99 shipped )

Walls at about 4.2. it will do 4.35 tops stable, but voltage walls past 4.2

I haven't bothered to mess with it to try and get the voltage dialed in or tune it further since I have a 990x and it ocs better of course. 4.5 is the wall there. I can go further as westmere runs rather cool and I have a decent 240mm aio, however I am a bit more conservative on the voltages there due to that CPU costing more around the $150 mark on ebay (although I didn't pay anywhere near that)

Yeah those are dirt cheap these days. Running a custom loop with a 240x45 rad myself.

Funny how I quickly looked and 990X seems to be about twice the price what a 980X is.

Tends to be the case when you look at top of socket for any given generation. QX9650 $65+ versus a Q9550 for $20

Meanwhile you can spend $10-15 for an x5670, spend 15 minutes ocing to 4ghz all core which presumably all of them can do, dust a stock 990x for 1/15th the price.

Hello everyone. First time poster here. Seen the Xeon Owners Club and decided to register. I have always, always wanted a Xeon and finally have one! It's nothing like a lot of the pictures I've been browsing on here, but it's mine haha. It's fairly common too, I'm sure.

HP Z440
Xeon E5-1650 v4
32GB (4x8GB) PC4-19200T (DDR4-2400)
GTX 1060 3GB
HP Z Turbo Drive G2 M.2 with Samsung 1TB NVME M.2 (Boot drive)
1TB Western Digital SSD
2TB Seagate HD

I have wanted an X79 system for awhile but haven't had one yet. I love ocing desktop sandy bridge CPUs and I would be interested in seeing what a hedt Sandy bridge 6 or 8 core could do.

I got another deal I couldn't resist on a high end Asus x58d Premium with the 16 phase vrm all with original box and accessories. I need to fix 2 bent pins but I have had very good luck in the past with that. That will go into my 990x system to replace the EVGA board it had.

So I'll probably be selling some of the x58 boards I don't need anymore to get some money to buy something x79.
I don't have much interest in x99 due to price and... Why not just buy a Ryzen 2600 for same result.

What are you going to use it for? Just out of curiosity.

I have heard of people that swear by the HP workstations. They seem well made from what I see.

Just regular stuff really and I still like to game. I used to crunch a lot of SETI@home back in the day. 23,950 units under same username.
I've been a hardware junkie since my first computer -a 133MHz IBM Aptiva back in '96. I tried to OC it and fried the board. Bought a barebones with a 200MHz K6 and the addiction set in haha. OC'd many CPUs since. This one isn't able obviously, but these HP Z's are built like tanks. I also have a Z220 and was so impressed by it that I snagged my first Xeon, this Z440 workstation, and have it all set up the way I like this past week.

Thanks, I already have a post there and has been, this may just be one of those weird issues that doesn't really matter.

21x isn't available on this combination. Jumps from 20x straight to 22x.

That's weird.

 

[Ruru]

That's weird.

I've read that 21x multi isn't available on certain motherboards with X5650 and it seems that P6X58D-E is one of them.. it has the latest bios etc.

 

[lexluthermiester]

That's exactly what I thought. 133x21=2793. While no CPUs on S1366 have that multi, one would think it would be a step that is available..

 

[1freedude]

I have Asus Sabertooth with same proc, and no 21 multi.
