Xeon Owners Club

It bothers me that my SSD is limited at 3Gbps when plugged in the mobo. The HDD's are on a RAID card. Bootable, but it wants to initialize the SSD, even if used alone. Not going to erase the OS now...
Also, someone suggested that I could OC with setFSB if I had connected the HDD/SSD's on a different controller than the mobo. It doen't really make sense, since setFSB seems to affect only... CPU FSB and memory clocks, but I wanted to try that too.
 
Trouble with sata speed is explained in this link
https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/...fference-between-sata-i,-sata-ii-and-sata-iii. Not all motherboard will play nice with different controller. You can overclock with setfsb on some motherboards that only boost the speed on cpu and ram but it wont change the sata speed at all. Just because the ssd is limited at certain speed as that because of hardware limited. Sure look at my board asus p5q premium is sata 2 and my crucial mx100 tops out 238mb according to hdtune where mx100 can hit high 500mb if i had sata 3 but that just how i have to live with as i dont have any complaint with the speed of the sata 2
 
Still in progress.. bought an brand new rx580 8gb gpu and evga dg-75 tempered glass case for £130.

Waiting for the Cpu block/Res/pump to be arrived hopefully this week...

Nice.....few days ago I also get myself RX 480 8Gb Red Devil....basically for same money that I sold my GTX 970.....It´s not that much faster but have more Vram and polaris is newer arhitecture.....+ for me most important thing actually was better settings for triple monitor setup.......

Any plans to oc the 1680 v2 or do you already know what it can do?
 
Update:

This Xeon e5-2680v2 cpu is rubbish can't overclock. Waste of time! I tried everything. I think this is locked chip. Even I added small amount of speed and voltage. I've got 00 on debug code.

You definitely missed the memo... only E5 16xx V2's have unlocked multipliers. All you can really do with the 2680v2 is play with FSB overclocking. Good luck.
 
That's pretty dang good... about 116MHz? Good board.
 
Yeah, But that's all, can't go any further even adding some juice and ended up 00 on bedug code. So 4.1GHz pretty good clocked..

Cinebench got 1685 score on multithread

Yes as Mouacyk said it is lol. So getting 4.1 ghz is pretty good but unless you need/use the extra 2 cores on that I'd get another 1680v2 lol. Even with 2 extra cores if you get several hundred mhz extra with 1680 overclocking you'd probably still outperform the 2680v2. I am interested to see how far you can push the FSB though, also interesting to see what your memory could do I was told the 2x series didn't overclock memory very high.
 
Wow v2 10 cores are really coming down in price. Unfortunately, there's a lot of decompression happening in my compiling workloads, so I'm still better served with a 4.5-4.6GHz 1680 v2 along with faster 2400MHz memory.

My custom pcb test board for the asus p5q premium is nearly done just need one more wire to connect to vcore and it be done. So this enable me to monitor the voltage on the hardware level so i know it not pushing too much voltage to the computer parts i will try and upload a picture once it done :)
 
I wonder those S5520HC owners can tell me whats the power pin here?

Getting error 124 in event viewer i know it something between vtt and vcore and before was getting 3b error which is between ram freq, ram voltage and vcore so getting there slowly :(
 
It been a busy day today after doing prime95 was getting rounded errors in inplace large ftt i think the e5450 dont like too much vcore as the vid shows 1.113v at the moment it at 1.216v so good so far it running prine95 2 hours temp barely kissed 56c
 
Just posting to say merry christmas and happy new year to everyone on the forums :)

So far the asus p5q premium havent thrown an error or a freeze yesterday i had prime95 for 4 and half hours i know it abit short for 24 hours stability was playing project cars no freeze or crashing since. So the ram timings i loosing them up a good bit and the performance level is at 14 as 10 was abit funky. I will bring it down abit more some day as the aida64 memory bench is showing read 9893mb/s write 9274mb/s copy 9109mb/s latency 87.6ns as these results varies every time i check it from time to time. So yea getting better each time :)
