I had the 212+ in a push-pull, great value for money, but can't keep up with these extreme OC's that we're doing

His is still on the stock fan and just the single fan, so I think there's a little bit more headroom on this 212 Evo as long as we run push/pull with some high CFM fans.

Loving this system

added some more RAM and cranked the RES

I take it you're running 22x 200? If that's the case, were you able to force "High TDP Turbo Mode"? The option only stays selectable on this system if Speedstep is enabled. Also, do you have an option for a 21x multi? This setup jumps straight from 20x to 22x.

I got the same results with MSI Pro- E as with ASUS Rog. I had both boards at the time.

Same goes for

E5620
E5640
same o.c on both boards

Did you use LLC? I think I need to step back and take a different approach than I have been for anything above 4GHz.

Yes 22x 200 HIGH TDP Mode

and no mine jumps 20 to 22

No option for 21

LLC off. For the sake of a restart it is worth trying both though.

Check your Windows power saving settings too.

I checked my pics earlier and i dont have any for BIOS and X5650 which makes me think i wrote them down somewhere. I wish i'd never bought so much A4 paper, ive got folded up bits of it everywhere with notes in crappy writing. I will have a look but dont hold your breath.... :twitch:

I've been trying with LLC on, so maybe that has to do with the excessive voltage and stability issues.

Lol, my i7 3820 overclocking was that way, I had a bunch of spiral bound notebooks on hand and grabbed one for taking notes. You open up that notebook and it's a plethora of quickly scribbled notes on voltages, DRAM timings, stress tests, BSOD codes, tables with clock skews, and a lot more. To anybody else, I'm sure it looks like the jumbled thoughts of a madman :roll:

I had it like this, north-south orientation shaved off ~2deg compared to east-west.

Sorry for double post but:

I want to upgrade something on my PC

1) Buy 250GB SSD
2) Swap the 6GB kit for a 12GB kit of RAM (3x2 vs 3x4) - Will the Xeon or system in general benefit that much?

Which way would you go?

Well it will benefit from the extra RAM available if gaming

Alot of newer titles need atleast 8Gb now a days

I myself use 20GB Triple channel and find myself surpassing 10GB

Personally, I would go with more RAM. My TV box has 8GB and I find myself wanting more sometimes. 12GB would be a decent upgrade for you, and you could even run the set you have now side-by-side with the new RAM for 18GB triple-channel, you'll just have to spend some time playing with timings.

Goodbye my lover

You touched my heart you touched my soul You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you

I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

You're gone but i'll always miss you.

How could you? I feel sorry for your wife, and with that it's just matter of time until.

I'm just joking with you about the idea of you trading in the wife for the latest hotness btw.

get this while you can. A high chance of this being scam or dud but worth the risk. Quit staring at the absolute zone and go for it.

alucasa · Nov 15, 2016

Yeah, I wanted to order more but decided that wasting 19 is enough.

dorsetknob · Nov 15, 2016

if its Scam i'm sure Ebay/pay pal will reimburse wuckin hope so cause i laid out some hard Saved Cash for one ( in the hope i can find a decent M/B for a later Build )

alucasa · Nov 15, 2016

I don't know. But that CPU, even despite of being ES, costs well over 500 on Ebay. There has to be a catch.

The seller is a little off also. A member fomr 2004 but his purchase history seems odd. Basically, everything reeks. So, I'd rather not spend too much on this.

No worries everyone on ebay who purchases has ebay buyer protection.

alucasa · Nov 15, 2016

I did some googling around "QH26" stepping.

Apparently, this is a very early stepping and blocked in latest BIOS on X99. Worth gambling 19 bucks.
From what I've seen, ES chip performance is always lower than retail/OEM.
V4 ES 14c/28t scores the same in Cinebench as my V3 14c/28t. Retail/OEM v4 scores a lot higher.

That's way too good to be true but it maybe worth the risk.

So now that @Knoxx29 is unaffiliated with the Xeon name, and the ex-president of the Xeon Club who should we elect to take his place?

alucasa · Nov 15, 2016

This is probably important bit of info for those who did gamble and ordered the CPU.

Supermicro: X10SR series with BIOS R 2.0, X10DR series with BIOS R 2.0

Asus: X99 series with BIOS 2101, Sabertooth X99 with BIOS 2101, Z10PE series with BIOS 3101

Gigabyte: GA-X99 series with BIOS F20

If you get the CPU and it doesn't post, you need to downgrade BIOS.
