All I notice is that this is a X79 thread.
Tested a few games and a few game and synthetic benchmarks with a 3930K, comparing it to a 1241v3 using all the same parts (apart from mobo, cooler and CPU obviously), including same RAM 32GB (8GBx4) with XMP 2400MHz profile. Also, the very same OS, a fresh install that the Z87 rig (mostly not) used. After I finished the testing with xeon, installed the chipset software of the G1.Assassin 2 provided on the GB webpage.
The 3930K is at 4.5GHz all core, while E3 1241v3 has 2 cores turbo at 3.9, 3 cores at 3.8, and 4 cores at 3.7. My Z87 mobo doesn't have an all core turbo tweak, so that is that.
1241v3 still has a slightly better single core, obvious from the CB, as well as maximum FPS in most of the games/game benchmarks, or it's a deuce. 3930K is OFC killing it in any multicore workloads. Apart from that, the most notable difference I saw is that 3930K has higher minimum FPS almost all the time, and less FPS dips. Most noticeable for example in Warzone 2.0, where 3930k has less overall FPS, 5-10 difference, but it's way more steady than 1241v3. There goes gaming on a 4c/8t in 2023. Also should be noted that the testing was done with a 1060 6GB, and I think the 3930K would scale much better with a stronger GPU. Both CPUs maxed out the 1060. Used in PCIe x16 3.0 mode for both platforms.
Also, the 3930K is sucking ~150W (at 1.35V), while the E3 1241v3 uses only ~50W while playing Warzone 2.0.
I'm not sure if there would be any difference if the 3930K was clocked even to maybe 4.8GHz, I don't think so. I just hope that other X79 chips aren't like 3930K, especially the Ivy Bridge ones. And it's a lottery, which one of them (that aren't on the support list) would even boot with my shitty motherboard. 1680v2? There's still hope.
Meanwhile, the second gaming rig title goes to the X79 anyway, while the Z87 will become home server, as soon as I get the missing parts (donated to the X79). Also The X79 will get the 5700XT (as soon as I get the 6800XT for the main rig), so it'll be a nice little CM Q500L furnace.

If I read the title correctly doesn’t that just mean you need Windows 11 or any version of Windows other than 10 to overclock with Broadwell-E?insert the microcode into the bios and you'll get your all core turbo back, having the mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll override it from windows side is what breaks bios side tweaks. (or delete the dll)

Yep just glad haswell-e never got broken
Although 3.8 default is plenty for what the system is doing atm

Any thoughts on this (green marker):
This is under full load OFC. I made a very good cooling for that area (VRMs and MOSFETs). These two loops have a mind of their own, they were reaching 105C+, and the others ~90C before. Only thing left is replacing pads, which I plan to do anyway.

Hello!
Just registered since I've seen in few places about memory write bug on Ivy-e ...
I have MSI X79 GD65 board and 2667V2 OC@ cca 4GHz all cores.
On this MBO this is procedure to get around that bug:
1) select one grade lower RAM speed and reboot
2) go to BIOS and power down the system with one press of power button.
3) power up, go to BIOS and select higher speed. Reboot
4) go to BIOS again and just shut the system down with power button.
5) Profit
After that, memory works as expected until next tinkering of RAM settings.
This is reproducible and I've done it a lot of times. Always works.
Cheers!

As long as that motherboard supports Registered DIMMs, possibly. What you've got pictured here is server memory which requires very specific configurations.do you guys think that rampage 4 extreme with xeon e5-2697v2 would work any of these 32gb ecc memories?
