Yep, current mobo not quite stable enough to take me beyond 4ghz. So decided to see how low vcore I could go for 4ghz:
1.272v validated: http://valid.x86.fr/xm7ige With my new 16 phase, healthy mobo, I'm hoping for 4.3 on air 24/7.
Not sure what's going on with Cinebench, I should be getting 1000? And why is it showing my 4ghz cpu at 3.6?

silentbogo · Aug 23, 2015

I'm finally back in the club!
2 more cores and double the RAM. I think I'm good on upgrades at least for another 3-4 years.

A month ago I got 2 X Xeons X5675 but I think I am getting 2 x X5690

johnspack · Aug 24, 2015

Sure would like the multi on those ..75s... found out why my Cinebench is so low, my current mobo is only locking 20x at full load, not 22, arg. Crossing my fingers my replacement mobo will do it.

T-Bob · Aug 25, 2015

First run on 2x 5680's

johnspack · Aug 28, 2015

Yay! RE2 mobo verified shipped. Let's see what some stable 16 phase power can do for bonkers....

emissary42 · Aug 28, 2015

The amount of phases alone does not make a good OC mainboard.

And in addition to that mainboards lots of decent overclocking boards like the ASUS Rampage 3 Extreme (X58), Gigabyte Z87X-OC or Gigabyte Z97X-SOC Force "only" have eight phases, but very high quality / powerful ones.

Nethertheless good luck with your R2E!

johnspack · Aug 29, 2015

Proof will be in the end results. Last powerful 16+3 phase x58 mobo they made. I'll take my chances! And have you seen what they want for an R3E on ebay?
And if they made a better one after, please don't tell me, I'm just too poor.....

This one is one of the best... GB GA-X58A-OC

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3870#ov

Had one for a short time but traded it off to another member here looking to do some extreme overclocking runs

johnspack · Aug 29, 2015

Oh daaam! Very purdy. Oh well, I think I'll be able to squeeze some shi0t out of this combo. Probably will want an x5690 at some point.....

Same

Basically X58A-OC or R3BE is what you would want for extreme OC.

If you only want lots of phases for "cheap", maybe also look out for the MSI Big Bang Xpower or the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin., that are both not that popular.

FireFox · Aug 29, 2015

I dont find an Evga Classified SR-2 :banghead:

Still have an R3E (not the black) in the fleet- that's an awesome board also

Post a WTB thread in the FS section looking for one- they're out there

I was able to get one in March of this year, just have to look hard to find a good deal. Picked it up for a dedicated cruncher / folder build. Unfortunately my last mobo died on me so the SR-2 system has become my daily driver.

I am looking since February this year and nothing.

I actually found mine here in the FS section. It did have a few (3 if I remember correctly) slightly bent pins in the #2 CPU socket but they were easy to straighten-out.

johnspack · Sep 1, 2015

Got my little R2E today. Ended up having to reinstall windows, I guess my old mobo was getting funky. Still not sure if I can lock 22x, but with these vrms, I should be able to do 200+ blk easy. Still may want a 5680 or better at some point now....
I say little, because I actually had to pull out drive bays on my antec 1200 to make room for it to drop in, and for me to access the sata ports... daaam it's a big mobo....

johnspack · Sep 1, 2015

Still fighting with this thing, at well over 4.1ghz, but I need to tweak more. How does offset vcore work compared to vid? I hear it's a more stable way to increase vcore....
And yes, I have offset now, I just don't know how to use it.

johnspack · Sep 1, 2015

Yep, I can work with this, still can't lock 22x, but now have the grunt to push my bclk up, easy to crack 1000 now:
It's just going to keep going higher so here's next one:

johnspack · Sep 1, 2015

Oh, and max temp during stress testing was 67c... current all idle temps are in the 20s. Insane platform, I love it!
Edit: sloppy settings, first night with board: http://valid.x86.fr/wt9sjp

johnspack · Sep 2, 2015

Heh, found a weird glitch in cpu-z, it now validates my cpu at 9ghz! It's still only at 4.1, not sure why...

Seems like somebody is holding a new world record with almost 500MHz lead :laugh:

johnspack · Sep 4, 2015

Heh, yeah, well ran it again today, and back to normal. I did get an idle 124 bluescreen overnight after 2 days, so touched up my qpi a bit.
Dam C-state stuff. Still have a ton of headroom on qpi and pll volts, but want to keep them down for low temps. 4.1 24/7 stable is done
on this system, but higher, and my multi of 20x f's me... my qpi speed is too high. Unless I pump 1.35 into qpi which I'd rather not do.
Time to hunt for a 5680.....

FireFox · Sep 4, 2015

Thanks Guys for keeping this thread alive.

johnspack · Sep 5, 2015

Another night without an idle bsod, I guess the qpi increase fixed it. 4.1 stable, a 1.4ghz oc on air. Under 70c load temps. When I move to my new house, I'll be attempting suicide benches on this, again just on air. I'll bet I can Cinebench at 4.5, any takers?
