Managed to finally get to testing the Xeon I had given to me from work...

I think I'm in luck

Just need to wait for a server now to pop it into.....

Why a server specifically? :confused:

Unless you want to run a dual CPU setup that is.

Yes - for the motherboard hard drive and blu ray drive.

Grab it before it's gone - motherboards are £100+ easily alone.

Where I work are retiring some old hardware, mainly the servers I'm interested in so I'm hoping to grab a few of them when they are in effect thrown out

I've got a single server at home at the moment in a lovely 22U rack server case, so I'd like to get as much in there as I can

It all goes towards crunching as well so I am putting the many cores to good use

hey peeps.

finally got my x5650 at 4Ghz simply by following this video.

very good and simple guide. his recommended settings start around the 18 minute mark.

temps are ok aswell. considering the heatwave we still have here in the uk.(cooling off a bit now though).

40c idle
around 65c under load

any other advice would be most welcome.

phill · Jul 10, 2018

Depends on what you want to do with it, to what advice you might want @stuartb04

agent_x007 · Jul 10, 2018

@stuartb04 NB Frequency to at least 3GHz please.
How you managed 16GB on Triple Channel ?
4x4GB ?

I'd guess @agent_x007 that's why the NB frequency so low.. I had a hell of a job trying to get 4Ghz with 12Gb of ram in my 920 D0...

4GHz NB Frequency on 45nm require 1,5V+ on DRAM/QPI (I needed 1,55V for my 4x2GB setup).

32nm are a bit different

I know I went little high on QPI/DRAM voltage, BUT it's 3,8GHz NB with 18GB of almost 2GHz speed RAM though

Sorry for 980X in Xeon thread, btw.
Think of it as re-branded W3680

phill · Jul 10, 2018

I'm kind of curious how you managed to get 18Gb of ram??!! :laugh:

I really didn't like the X58 for the triple channel ram, and the fact it would work only with high speeds with 6Gb or less of ram.. The Sandy Bridge CPUs where a completely different beast.. I do love mine

High Vcore for 4.3Ghz for a 980X isn't it @agent_x007 ??

agent_x007 · Jul 10, 2018

I'm using Intel "BOX" cooler (the Extreme type)

With lower temps I could go higher, also RAM configuration is kinbda taxing on IMC/Core

@phill I used 3x4GB + 3x2GB for 18GB total (a logical way to have at least 16GB in pure triple channel).
More "sane" version :

I don't mind a bit slower RAM speeds on higher bit memory buses.

phill · Jul 10, 2018

Apologises in advance for non Xeon but just makes me want to try and track down a pair of 980X's for my two Classified boards and give them hell again!!

Some of my finer overclocks with my 920's...

920 @ 4.566Ghz 1.491v 2167 Strap EVGA Forums.jpg

That was the only really big issue with X58.. It's high power suck when overclocked about 4.6Ghz lol

Apologises about the files, they were too big for the forum so shrunk them down by 50%.. If need be I will put up some bigger screenies

HUSKIE · Jul 10, 2018

Got some new project here. With x5690 underneath...

Regeneration · Jul 10, 2018

There's a new microcode available for Westmere, Gulftown and Bloomfield.

phill · Jul 10, 2018

Those Koolance blocks looks the mutts nuts, but because they where in pieces just made tubing a damn nightmare...

I'm very interested to see what these can do

@phill That Classy 4-way is a very nice board, I have one too but it has some problems with the 24pin 3.3V wires which I need to fix.

phill · Jul 11, 2018

Thank you @DR4G00N

I've owned it since it came out in 2009 I think?? Not a day goes buy regretting that buy of it

I have the triple SLI version as well (759) and with an SR-2, I've completed my set

Amazing boards, EVGA knew what they were doing back then!!

Yes they're quite nice. I have an E770 and E757 as well. And don't even remind me about the SR-2, I just passed one of them up for $100 because it was an 8hr round trip to get it.

phill · Jul 11, 2018

I paid a little more than that for mine and had a 400 mile trip to pick it up.. No regrets at all!!

DR4G00N · Jul 11, 2018

Well, I'm not too worried about it though. I have my D5400XS to satisfy my dual cpu cravings. Just ordered a pair of X5460's for it actually. 8 cores @ 3.8GHz should do quite well.
