what motherboard do you have for your X5677 or what board do you intend to use ??

 

[PP Mguire]

Anybody here have a Haswell-EP Xeon? I can't figure out why my chip heat spikes so bad.

I already have a Xeon Machine.
It's a dual socket motherboard, I have 2 x X5677 on it, and there is no way to overclock

 

[dorsetknob]

Its just that

I envy you people

maybe time to get a 1p board so you join in the fun then your

It's a long time since i wanted to buy a single socket 1366 board but i always ended up buying dual socket boards, i love 2P machines, after i come back from holiday i am building an i7 Gaming Machine once again, i will sell a few hardwares that i have laying around and with the money that I collect i will get a single 1366 socket board.

but man the power consemption on a 2p system is just insane, like my dual x5650s with a GTX 760 was pulling over 700w when i loaded up crysis 3. . Thats just insane... also pulled over 700w when i was running 3dmark firestrike. i think ill stick to a 1p system since power bills here are expensive

Uhmmmmm weird.
2 x X5650s pulling over 760W? Totally absurd.
I have a 4P server with 4 x X5675 + 24 GB Ram sometimes used for crunching and maximum power consumption was 620W.

X5650s - TDP 95W - Clock speed 2.66GHz turbo boost 3.3GHz

X5675 - TDP 95W - Clock speed 3.3GHz turbo boost 3.46GH

what graphics card did you have in there?

750TI SC

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

My 2p with dual X5650 didnt pull anything like as much as that, ive probably got some wattage figures somewhere.

You see, that's what i mean, just his 5650 were acting wierd, over 700W it's ridiculous and as i said before my 4 CPUs were consuming less power than his 2 CPUs.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Only circumstance i can see is on SR-2 with a big o/c.

 

[silkstone]

add $ 8.95 for a 4c/8th E 5620 and you are laughing

I have used

ASUS ii ROG extreme
ASUS P6T Deluxe
MSI Pro E

and i got the same results with all of them

Yeah, but it wouldn't be much of an improvement over my i5 2500K.

It'd be fun to put in my htpc, but i've just ordered an E5450 to play with and none of the motherboards i've seen would fit

Unfortunately there is just 3 boards compatible with that Xeon:

• Intel
  -
  • S5000PSL

• Super Micro Computer
  -
  • X7DAE
    
    
    
  • Super Micro X7DCA-L
• And i don't think they could overclock.

Seriously why are you buying a LGA771

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I had Supermicro X8STi and you cant o/c with it.

 

[RCG]

I just pulled the trigger on a E3-1230V5 with an Asrock E3V5 WS board and 32GB ECC 2133 Mem.

Was this or an I7 but also wanted a dev lab for work

 

[FireFox]

Let's put it this way: Server Boards - Tyan, Intel, Dell, Supermicro, Asus ect ect ect don't allow you to overclock? It doesn't matter if it's single or dual socket.

If I am not wrong there's a Supermicro socket 2011 that allow you to overclock but all what you gain is 3%/5% of your chip and the board cost around 500€, not worth at all.

Intel's D5400XS is also compatable and its a duel CPU ( AND OVER C LOCKABLE )
Probably hard to find and expensive
one word sums that board up
SKULLTRAIL
COME ON GUYS YOU HAVE TO ADMIT >> IT . YOU ALL WANTED ONE WHEN, IT CAME OUT

It's to upgrade my E3110 in the HTPC

I know what you are going to say next . . .

It won't fit in a skt 775 board . . .

But, I'm going to mod it I already updated the Bios with the Xeon microcodes in preperation.
After lapping it, I'm hoping to get 4 Ghz, but i'll be more than happy with 3.6.

I'm pretty sure that i'm going to be FSB limited on my mobo. I did manage to get up to 4.1-4.2 GHz stable on the E3110, but that has a slightly higher multiplier.

I had losts of fun with the E3110 doing suicide runs at ~4.5Ghz. That thing was no where near stable with comfortable voltages, but I did get some good benchmark runs out of it.

Oh God yes I did

On April 18, 2008 Tom's Hardware, reporting from an Overclocking Enthusiast site, reported that an overclocked speed of 6.006 GHz was achieved on an 8-core Skulltrail setup.

6 Ghz ON A DUEL 771 and it could run quad AMD OR quad NVIDA Graphics cards

That's a Desktop Board

 

[dorsetknob]

That's a Desktop Board

Actualy its a EATX Server board repurposed for Desktop
it has Server Chipset and Required Server FB DIMMS

 

[silkstone]

That's a Desktop Board

The E54x0 series will fit in almost any LGA775 board, with the right adjustments.

E5450 = Q9650 (but Xeon has lower TDP)

I really wanted to go with an X5470, but they were a little bit out of my price range.
Some of those badboys have been known to go to ~4.5Ghz

750TI SC

i had a Gtx 760 and I overclocked it a bit too. Then I swapped it for my friends 970 and overclocked that as well. That probably how I got the insanely high power consumption figures
