I contacted the seller about the delay and everything is sorted out now. The cooler is now in transit.

I can only assume the seller forgot to send the item after I paid .

Just messing with the e5450 at the moment it seems to liking these voltages 1.304v/1.312v @ 4.32ghz while the ram is overclocked to 1153mhz @ 2.26v seems to hold up since i been playing resident evil 2 as it taxing the cpu heavy in places such as the underground car park i usually get there and run around for awhile to see what it does to the cpu, gpu, ram usage.

So far i havent stuffed high vcore into it yet as only one is dram voltage is already pumping 2.30v into the fully populated dimms due to dram over voltage according to dmm and bios input 2.26v. I have a idea where the nb voltage is at 1.42v in auto as dmm reported 1.44v cos 0.02 overvoltage

If you intend to use Final Cut Pro (which costs $400 on apple store) for video editing, Hackintosh is the only option you have.

The Virtual PC's Graphic Memory will be too insufficient for Video Editing.

For everything else Virtualization will adequately serve your purpose.

I don't do any video editing but do have a lot of music projects done in Nuendo and Cubase that I'd like to try in Logic, emulation will be bad for latency but they're tracks that were already mastered so that shouldn't be a problem. I've been on Cubase since VST24 but never tried Logic in all those years, and when I actually had an iMac in the house I didn't really use it that much so never got round to trying a lot of stuff.

Re purposing un needed parts ....Old z-400 with Xeon W3565 3.2 chip always runs a little warmer than most
didn't want invest any money on it ( sits in den rarely used ) So I grabbed the Amd Wraith Cooler that came with my Ryzen Chip
modified the bracket to hold heat sink made a cross over connecter to go from HP 5pin to universal 4 pin design ..
and issue resolved ... Now a cool 31c at idle 52c under heavy load

This would fit fit in very well in the Ghetto Mods thread. You should post this over there too! Very funny really, creative as well.

New update with the never ending story that is the CPU cooler for my Xeon build...

..it still hasn't arrived. The USPS estimate was September 10th. According to tracking, it was still in New York yesterday, and the last update (from midnight today) says "in transit to next facility".

At this point, I'm about ready to try to cancel this order and just get something through Amazon. I'm an eBay noob, so I'm not sure if I should contact the seller to cancel the order and get a refund, or go directly to eBay or PayPal and have them do it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You got some bad luck. Reach out to the seller again. Ask for a refund and lets try a different seller.

You may wish to look at this one. It's similar in design and can also handle the CPU in question;

I know the feeling that why we got to use the ruler to figure these heatsink measurements before buying nothing worse when ya get bad sellers selling duds

It's not so much a dud as it simply didn't get delivered on time. Shipping delays happen..

 

[Edwired]

True

 

[sam_86314]

Cooler finally got to my home town in Arizona. Hopefully it arrives today. I think I'll try to request the shipping cost ($8) to be refunded.

 

[Edwired]

i saw the cooler it looks tiny lol

 

[phill]

I hope to see some pictures of this cooler... Sounds like a rare unit!!

 

[sam_86314]

The cooler finally arrived two days late.

You'd think it was made for this board...

The clearance between the GPU and the cooler is very tight, but it fits.

With the drive sleds installed and the cables "managed".

The finished build.

With the stock cooler, I had to underclock the X3470 to 2.4GHz and put a -0.1v Vcore offset. Even then, temperatures would reach into the mid to high 70s.

With this new cooler, and the X3470 at its stock speed (still undervolted), it gets into the high 60s under a transcoding load. Much better.

Unfortunately this cooler is much louder when the system is under load. Oh well.

Will run some more tests with it.

I almost bought that cooler for a Ryzen 2400G in a half-height mini-ITX case. It's a monster! I do like how it appears to cool pretty much the entire board at the same time.

So glad it worked out for you! When the shipping troubles happened I felt like you might have a bad time at my advice. How does it run at stock voltage with a slight OC? Have you tried or do you care to?

Not gonna overclock the chip on this board (The VRMs don't have heatsinks). Even with the undervolt, I've seen it turbo up to 3.4 GHz. It handled video streaming fine with the underclock, I'm sure it could handle multiple streams now.

Here are some benchmark updates (and temps)...

Geekbench 5: 593 single, 2191 multi.

Geekbench 4: 2754 single, 8949 multi

4 of these would be lovely in my two R730's I have at home... Crunching city!! Very nice CPU

 

[Edwired]

Broken my personal record peaked at 1.320v temps on the cores hit peaked 65c and below

 

[Mr.Scott]

Nice clocks on that.

 

[Edwired]

Nice clocks on that.

Yeah thanks poor cpu dont know what it hit with lol just at the moment im trying to do the balancing act on it where some applications crashes it looks like moce vcore is needed i havent gone past the safe 1.35v yet it just the weather is abit on the warm side at the moment. As everything is air cooled in my case. Had a old galaxy gt 9600 took it apart to use the gpu blower style and abit of tape and cardboard to make a air ram to bring more fresh air toward the northbridge heatsink as it was getting warm with 2 small fans blowing air as it was getting the heated air from the cpu heatsink

 

[Edwired]

This just gave me a great idea for extra cooling might get a couple of these desktop tower fans and make a rack to fit them together and wire them all together to get more cold air into the case

 

[Edwired]

Busted my previous record but it went pretty unstable at this point
