Learn something new everyday

day not been wasted then

I think i tapped my CPU out

 

[Durvelle27]

I won't go any higher as I don't want to push above 1.5V just yet

Wait for meeeeeeeeeee.

How many degrees?

How many degrees?

I was able to get windows to boot @4.73GHz 1.47V but any type of load would cause the system to hang

@4.6GHz 1.46V

Temps under load on all cores hit 80°C


Not bad for a new Xeon user

Now that's what I talking about.

@4.6GHz 1.46V

I will overclock till I hit 1.35V after that i am done.

 

[Durvelle27]

I'm dialing my volts back now to see how low i can go to keep 4.4GHz stable

No point of extra unneeded heats

Well done man as i said don't venture passed 1.5v and you will be fine, good job you listened

That's a decent chip not a low voltage one though mind you.
But 12 threads at 4.64ghz ! sexy.

But i told you guys it wasn't my CPU. It was the board. I flashed it with the ASUS Workstation BIOs and problems gone

Asus knew of the problem but never fully addressed it. They released a patch but the crap patch doesn't support westmere. So flashing a different board BIOs is the only fix aside from changing to a different board.

And yea man i listened. That's how you learn bro

It's sexy but can produce a hell of lot heat


UPDATE: Looks like i need minimum 1.38V for 4.4GHz to be stable.

I guess 1.38V is acceptable for 12 threads, Dynamic or Static overclock?

I used static for my E5640, it's not that i can't run it in offset mode it's that it gives me performance fluctuations when running emulators.

I have never used static.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

today my X5670 will be static at 4.3ghz using 1.33 v and H/T is off.

At the wall my system is using 180 w while surfing/streaming.......playing GTA V takes it to 330 watts.


min temp 38
max temp 78

Why does it have to be static, can't you get it stable dynamic?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

It makes no difference to my power consumption and it runs stable no matter what.


Temps remain the same.

 

[FireFox]

Temps remain the same.

Weird, temperatures shouldn't be the same.

Static

No offset

Static

No offset

Why not

 

[FireFox]

Why not

CPU running constantly at 4.4GHz

 

[Durvelle27]

CPU running constantly at 4.4GHz

Yep

As long as it's cool who cares

 

[Durvelle27]

So far i got everything stable and running

CPU @4.4GHz 1.38V
RAM 1603MHz 1.6V
GPU 1365/2155 Stock

Will do some in game benches to gauge performance better.

 

[FireFox]

Good news.
My 1080 has arrived and already installed

Unigine Valley Benchmark

Not bad, my old X58 lady is more than satisfied.

What card did that replace?
