Asus Rampage 3 Gene Xeon X5675 overclock?

[DirtyBiker]

Negative. Not required on the SR-2.

If I could get a decent price on some 2133 ECC I would like to try it 4.5ghz ddr3 1954 OC running strong hasn't Miss a beat even with my cheep air cooler but it's gonna need a five pipe 120 mm cooler for sure in a case going to try to mount an AMD rath prism to get some airflow on the vrm and chipset

Here is what I came up with stable on-air cooler test bench, just got a cooler master 120mm AIO but haven't tested it yet still waiting on B&H to ship my

Deepcool Matrexx 55 Mesh Mid-Tower ATX Case​

it's backordered. also installed an Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 blue tooth 4.2, 2.4g 5g Wi-Fi card from a broken laptop using a PCIE 4X adapter
also running a Samsung 256 Gb 950 Pro NVME M.2 boot drive
Looking for a good deal on a GTX 1080 Ti, RTX 3060 Ti, or RTX 2070

Well, I picked up this like new Asus Strix GTX 1080 spent $429. I canceled my backordered Matrexx 55 mesh case and picked up this Cooler Master CMP 510 ATX Mid-Tower with Mesh Intakes, ARGB Edge Strip, Tempered Glass Side Panel, Triple 120mm ARGB Lighting Fans, paid $ 78.30, pairing with the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120L RGB V2, Close-Loop AIO, paid $72.47 all the parts are in time to build, also setteled on 23X, 4.55 GHZ it likes the 197.5 FSB vs 196 at 4.5v DDR3 @1975, QPI/VRAM @ 1.31v. time to build it initial test bench results look great on air time to see how it likes this AIO cooler in a mesh case. question what do you think are safe core temps for this X5675?

 

[Mr.Scott]

question what do you think are safe core temps for this X5675?

Under 100% load, under 80c.
You may be able to go a couple over that, but I wouldn't do it for extended periods.

 

[DirtyBiker]

Yeah cinebench pushes it over that on air but gaming it's in the 60s with spikes to 70

You're in good shape then.

Houston, we have a problem
1 there were no bottom standoffs in this case for the Rampage III Gene motherboard, so I went with the P6X58D-E MoBo
2 the cooler master case is 3 pin ARGB and the cooler master AIO is 4 pin RGB, had to use another CPU fan to match the case lighting so no lighting on pump face yet
3 the AIO didn't have back plate or hardware for socket 1366 I cobbled together parts from another cooler not currently using
4 this worked out better for this case the USB 3.0 front IO card I had because the Gene didn't have enough PCIE for it and NVME M.2 and Wi-Fi card
5 I don't like the green HD activity light on the NVME M.2 adapter may try to paint it blue or red
now the good news this thing is fast better than the GENE 144 FPS Fortnite epic settings and now its staying under 80c during R15 benchmark this was the first run

well, there's always more to be gained, playing with odd numbers multiplier X 23 BCLK 197, ram timing (9-9-11-29 CR1) best scores yet and lower latency I also flat lapped the CPU IHS with red and blue diamond lapping compound directly on glass

I always had better luck on the odd multi's.

SOME FIRE STRIKE RESULTS
CPU 1.424v
QPI/VVT 1.343v
Voltages down from 1.45v/1.35v. may try to bring it down a little more after some more extensive run time without BSOD
QPI @3544 MHz,
North bridge clock @3740.9 MHz
DDU and clean Nvidia driver install

 

[DirtyBiker]

still chasing ram speed tried some different timings best results yet

 

[Ashley98]

i Used to Daily X5675 4.5ghz 1.35v here is my results
have now moved to a 1680v2
still a good system tho played all the games at decent settings when i used it

interesting we have the same motherboard yet yours supports PCIe 3.0?

 

[Ashley98]

Reporting error since I'm using RX580 which is PCI-E 3.0

On the left it says 2.5gbs which is correct for PCI-E 2.0 Bandwidth

 

[DirtyBiker]

that's some good silicon you have 1.35v I have another X5675- P6X58D-E that runs 1.35 @ 4.5GHz but can't get close to those QPI Link speeds Guess I should try x21 over 200 bus again

213 Baseclock was more stable for me than 190-205 can try different multi'si did stability testing with IBT and Ycruncher Benchmark 4-6 passes max mem

I have an RX570 on the other machine and GTX 1080 on this one they both report MAX. 5.0 GT/s. 2.5 GT/s is current or idle speed. Max speed is 5.0 GT/s for PCIE 2.0

 

[Ashley98]

Idle speed I think goes up to 5gbs when under load

what CPU temps and cooling solution did you have?
I haven't tried R23, I have to run R20 after a long sleep mode cool down, gets pretty toasty so I stick to R15 shorter test and don't risk thermal limits

 

[Ashley98]

Noctua D14 with Dual fans. Temps were around 80-90c under Linpack and stress tests
Gaming was around 50-70c. I'd say 60-75c is acceptable under a gaming load and 80-90 under stress tests.

 

[DirtyBiker]

Had to bump the voltages, stable now for a few days, playing Fortnite usually crashes within a couple rounds when it gets hungry for voltage getting 120-140 FPS epic settings shadows low
CPU 1.46250 V
CPU PLL 1.90 V
QPI/DRAM 1.35 V
DRAM Bus 1.64V

 

[Ashley98]

Can try 2T on the memory
I'm positive that the crashing is due to the memory controller crapping out since you have all 6 dimms populated right?
I couldn't get much over 1600mhz on my setup with 6 dimms

that's the first thing I tried it didn't help; it wanted more CPU voltage working great now after HRs of Fortnite. my feeling is the actual voltage is lower than Bios settings, I was getting substantially lower voltage measuring from the motherboard on my Rampage III Gene Vs the bios setting and AIDA64 measurements. I also have 3X8 24GB R2 corsair vengeance 1866 kit I may try again. currently running G-Skill 2133 R1 4X6 dims underclocked @1969 just got my best score in fire strike. if you were using R2 memory in all 6 slots that could be a problem.

 

[Ruru]

I run my X5650 @ 4.4GHz with 1.52V knowing that something can break at one point.
