THX....Hmm so all in all what do you think what is better for gaming/streaming/editing 6 core Xeon E5-1650(3930k) that can be OC easily(4+Ghz)or 8 core almost non-OC E5-2680?
P.S.I love all those threads and 20mb of chache on E5-2680 but is that enough?

I always like to have my cake, and ate it, all at same time

E5-1680 v2 FTW (Unlocked Octa Core with 25MB of L3)
Side note :

However, between the two you listed - ie. if I had to choose between locked Octa or unlocked Hex...
I would go for Hex and 4,2-4,5GHz.

Mmmm....That E5-1680 V2 cake is TASTY,I can only dream about it.....
So 3930k/E5-1650 IF is it properly OC is still faster after all.....That´s what I was thinking...damn still that E5-2680 looks tempting for good price.......
BTW how good is yours Cinebench score with that beast?

I have been watching these Xeons for over 2 months

Intel Xeon E5-2683 V4 ES 2GHz 16-Core 32Threads

Intel Xeon E5-2690V2 10 Core 20 Threads SR1A5 @3.00Ghz

Intel Xeon E5 2690 V3 ES 2.4G 12 Core 24 Threads

Intel Xeon E5-2695V2 2,4 GHz 12 Core 24 Threads

Only thing that stops me is that i haven't found a valid justification to buy it

agent_x007 · Nov 5, 2018

@Zyll Goliath R15 is ~1600 points multi, with 4,5GHz clock and 1866MHz CL8 memory (single thread gets around 10% of that).

E5-2690 is a good CPU, but it still doesn't have unlocked BCLK multipliers

Also, V3s and V4s are for 2011-3 and DDR4.

That´s "sweet" Cinebench score dude.....Nah I am only interested in V1-V2 "Older"2011 Xeons...tho I am still really more than happy with my X58 RIG....

FireFox · Nov 5, 2018

If the E5-2683 V4 would boost up to 3.5GHz/3.7GHz i would pick 2 but i let me continue dreaming

What memory bandwidth are you getting from micron? I noticed some are like half of 112gb but not sure of the memory is downclocked to save power or something similar

From my 1080 Ti -

I've not bothered clocking it yet, been too busy sorting out all of the hardware in my PC room to even play a game.. That and my daughter been with me, so I spend more time with her than on the PC...

Still moving on to more things Xeon'y

What socket/boards could you use them in @Knoxx29 ?? Some of those look like X99/X299??

Edwired · Nov 5, 2018

That insane as you got the gddr5x that like 4 times of a gtx 1050 ti would have like 112gb. Why would nvidia give all graphic card gddr5x memory and everyone would be happy.

Those are pricey. You'd really have to have a need to justify such a purchase..

Same here. I'm finding that my X5680 is not bottlenecking my new 2080 much. Been testing it against a Ryzen 2600x @720p, 1080p, and 1440p and while there are differences @720p they're not big enough to affect gameplay. @1440p the differences are with in a reasonable margin of error. With the X5675 the differences are larger but nothing dramatic. While I use ThrottleStop, the CPU's are in Dell systems so there's no OCing. It really is surprising how well the top end 1366 CPU's are holding up.

phill · Nov 6, 2018

X58 is still rocking the hill

I think it'll be a while until anyone using the platform will have to consider to upgrade

Besides, if your running 1080/1080 Ti or higher, 1440P or higher gives even less of a reason to upgrade anyways....

Hey guys, I have a gigabyte ga-x58a-ud3r and 3 xeons. E5520, e5645 and x5672. I can't get it to boot up. All I'm getting is 2 ledd for the ddr phase. One yellow and one green. The e5520 is listed under cpu support list but I am still getting the same issue. No boot, fans turn on real quick like for 1 sec then just the 2 leds described. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Check your bios version if you can(with some i7 cpu)....it´s possible that you have older bios version that can not recognize Xeons CPU´s!!!

phill · Nov 6, 2018

Check the ram is supported by the board just to make sure it's going to cause any issues. Do you have any other DDR3 that you could try? It will only boot at 1333 as I believe the Xeon's default to that... Have you tried in different slots?

gizmo613 · Nov 6, 2018

I have g skills ddr3 1866 and 1600. I also tried some server ddr3 10600r. Tried 1 stick in every slot individually. Still same issue.

agent_x007 · Nov 6, 2018

You need latest BIOS.

phill · Nov 6, 2018

Seeing as it's a Xeon thread, I hope these fit in here nicely

6

Now I wonder what I can do with all of these??

gizmo613 · Nov 6, 2018

I ordered an i7 920. But it should still detect the e5520 as that cpu is supported with the default bios for the rev2 boards.

Hopefully, the i7 920 will work.

ga-x58a-ud3r

Well, I'm the person to talk to - I owned that board once (rev 1.6 one) - Install windows on the board using the i7 930 and DO NOT flash the bios to a usb and do it through that method - at least for me it thrown errors and failed no matter what, you MUST download gigabytes @bios utility in windows and download the latest bios through the app it's the only way it worked for me and i went from a i7 930 to a x5650 that way.

Let us know when you've got that xeon going : ) They're beasts under an overclock and still pretty relevant, I sold to move to x299.

Edwired · Nov 7, 2018

Well i had to reaet the bios and settings in the asus p5q premium as something was making the cpu and ram unhappy during the overclock. So more testing is required and dmm testing is needed as some voltages are overvolting abit too high like the vdimm in bios is 1.98v the top of the dimms is 2.14v but the ram slot is showing 2.10v the cpu pll in bios 1.50v the read point is showing 1.59v the northbridge in bios 1.30v dmm reads 1.38v and fsb term in bios 1.28v the read point is showing 1.33v do these voltage look worse or safe?

lyra · Nov 7, 2018

and so the struggle begins again

need a new core2duo, pretty sure this e8400 is kaput, more delays but just gotta update bios and slot in my x5470 then the ultimate poor persons gaming rig will be complete. its sitting around 155 quid right now including case and hard drive

dorsetknob · Nov 7, 2018

got loads of em pm me and i will reply later

lyra · Nov 7, 2018

already got one from CEX they are only 25p

cheers tho

Is it just me or that power supply in the picture look nasty what the voltages and amp is it supplying and what brand

lyra · Nov 8, 2018

Heh yeah... 550w sfx psu from fsp. 45A on the 12v rail and 22A on the 5v and 21 on the 3.3.

It was unused and free cause some quite well off, judging by his house, guy got the wrong one and couldnt be bothered to get rid of it properly lol.

Perfect for this project...
