Xeon Owners Club

[Killerdroid]

The fastest Xeons are the X5698 and second place X5690/X5677, hell, they OC pretty good.

Thanks, I'll take a look at those sockets

Darnit x79 mobos are expensive! All I can afford is an Asus P9X79 Pro board, says it will run a 1650v2, but nada about v1.... says it will run a 3930k, so think it will work?
Edit: I already have a 1650v1 coming....

Forget about the 5698, it's just a 2 cores CPU but 4.40GHz

@Killerdroid

some inspiration for you..........little Welsh flag

I'm glad you're up there and flying the flag

That's great for a 2 core CPU.
I'm into anything 6 core and beyond. Such a shame the higher the cores the lower the clock speed.

God don't even.... I need this system to work! Plus, I only look for the top rated seal, and then read reviews.....
Nice job Caps! Can't wait to oc the snot outta this 1650 and post some stuff....

I found that link to the Youtube video regarding the V1 Xeon + the Asus X79 motherboard and nothing else.
Everyone else was asking about Xeon E5-2000's
Of course it would be a blow if the V1 Xeon didn't work, but I'd take the plunge and put it back on Ebay if it didn't.

 

[johnspack]

Would suck, I've waited years to oc a sb cpu... didn't really want to jump to ib-e for 5% ipc and far less oc.... I think the v1 will outperform at max oc
Waiting is the hardest part!

You're lucky.

The motherboard is $616 (Canadian Dollars) on eBay UK and there are no Xeon E5-1650v1 CPU's.
We're called Rip Off Britain for a reason.

 

[johnspack]

Heh, and I was complaining about our dollar being 75c and how much more I had to pay!

 

[Solaris17]

hey, im still looking for x58 boards to house my xeon x5672

i found this on ebay and the seller said i could have it for £30

does this look like a fatal wound to a socket?
i guess its thermal paste, do you think its salvagable with a thorough alcohol wash?~

should i do it?

You can clean this NP with a can of Mass Ait Flow cleaner at your local auto parts store. Done it before safe on boards.

Agreed, MAF cleaner or Throttle Body cleaner will work and be safe for electronics.

It's the same with US hardware, their prices are half of what we pay. Import duties are also a killer.
That Xeon E5-1650 would cost around £300+ ($493+ Canadian) if imported from the US.
We are taxed to death on all fronts.

I've got my new x5675 on the way. Pretty stoked. I just bought her bran new. I'm betting I can grab 15fps minimum in BF1, with a 4.2 oc. Shouldn't be too tough on my h80i. If needed I'll upgrade my water to h110. I'm hoping for 4.4ghz to 4.6ghz. We'll see. Apparently I'm upgrading for one damn game. All other titles still run great on my 920.

I7 920 @4.0ghz
p6t deluxe v2
12gb 1600 corsair tri channel
XB270HU 1440P 144hz isp g-sync
Msi GamingX GTX 1080
Silent Pro Gold 1000w, lol for my old sli 480's
Win10

I'll let you guys know how it's going along the way. Might be interesting to see high end components running on such an old platform this late in the game. F-U Ryzen

I was running a1080 Classified in a dual CPU Machine with 2 x X5677 OC'ed at 4.6GHz

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Going from H50 to H100 with X5670 made a 0.5ghz difference at the same temps.

Can't decide on X5650 or X5660 - the latter is 10 eur more expensive, is it worth it?

I'd say no.

[dorsetknob]

@CAPSLOCKSTUCK has had both overclocked ( on same Board at different times ).
he could give you a very good Opinion ( and screenshots ....)

 

[johnspack]

If you want to oc first gen xeons, probably best to pick a high multi one to start. I have the x5650, it can do 4.5, but the bus clocking I have to do makes it produce way too
much heat under air even with a large cooler. If you are good with 4.0-4.1 for 24/7 ocs, then the x5650 is great. If you can find an x5660 or 75 ect, sure, why not?
Probably will give you a higher 24/7 oc. Make sure you have a massive air cooler.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

proportionate to the cost then X5660 probably isnt worth the extra 10Eu.

@johnspack pretty much nailed it.

 

[johnspack]

Decided I might as well try out the new pic hosting.... still learning how to take closeups, but here's my baby!

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I think ive found the right balance now that my H100 pump is fixed and running with a 120mm rad.

I am hitting 63 C on the hottest core after a couple of hours of GTA V ( 29 C at idle)


temps are good as are volts and the core speed is more than satisfactory, i havent done the maths but its about a 50% overclock.

 

[FilipM]

Well, AMD didn't exactly bring what everyone was expecting, so I'll be here for some time

@CAPSLOCKSTUCK, nice voltages and temps!

 

[Easy Rhino]

dude, this xeon 5650 will not die. i need an excuse to build a brand new rig and this thing just keeps chugging on. it is 7 years old!!!!! crazy.
