So I'm going to ask here first..

Anyone want a dual x5675? I'm retiring all my 1366 stuff to make way for newer, stronger crunching. Just pay shipping (after I find a box, somewhere) and it's yours.

See PM. I know someone who might be.

LTSC offers that, but with the added bonus of not having all the fluff to go with it. No cortana, no ms Store(no ms account), no Edge, very little telemetry(and what is present can easily be disabled). It's as lean and clean as you can get Windows 10 without serious ISO fiddling.

Thats "LTSB" , my friend. not much more resources than W7. Add classic shell - get a W7 update with no BS.
Talk about 'innovation" (or lack of it). windows ten is just a telemetry enhanced POS , built upon W7 with a lot of "fluff" to nickel-dime you to death.
Son's "real' W10 sit there and chatters all the time with new features and other BS. Core duo with either LTSB or W7 feels faster than a 10700KF with what BS
most are stuck with. My 10+ core XEONS are damn "lightning" with LTSB.
BTW , windows update server updates about 5 zero day screw ups to make my old 2016 LTSB quite usable.

LTSB was good, but LTSC has a few features I like better, mostly to do with the UI. That's personal preference on my part.

Old LGA1156 build I had made in 2018, served me well until I bought the 3500x

4 core 8 threads for $26

Hehe remember when this was a selling point.

MIxed set of DDR3 I managed to pile over the years

Old but gold.

Oh wow , I did not know they had a "channel " ??? Another 'scamerica" BS version. HA ha , I don't see that on TPB.
Channel of BS ?? he he...

Yes , socket 1156 was my introduction to XEON. Bought 2 X3430's (just 4 core) for 20usd. got 2 NEW intel desktop DH55TC MB's for 60$. Never had to open those two machines back up. Quiet , perfect
W10 surf machines that are easily fast enough for the modern internet. 0 issues for 2 years. Too bad Intel got out of the desktop board market .... I have another Intel DX79si (with the skull !!) used as a
gaming system (XEON E5-2660 V1). That one also NEVER - a single glitch. But , Intel never updated the X79's BIOS for V2 E5's , since the DX79 was their last desktop board.

Scamerica..? What are you on?

Also they could've added support for V2, they just were too lazy or didn't care.

I may say I got more than I was expected. It was more than 50EUR premium over the reference and low-end models, but it's probably the best 5700XT out there, besides Red Devil. It runs cool, especially undervolted (all of my game profiles are undervolted), and it's a 1080p beast. Never had problems with drivers, it's stable from the first day, and I've gone through almost all of the driver versions so far. The only thing I regret is not buying a 1440p display instead. I wanted 100FPS+ gaming, and was afraid of 1440p being significantly more demanding. I was kinda wrong.

Hey...BTW I also pickup RX 5700 (non XT)I had a chance to give my old R9 Fury + 130€....so yeah why not especially because the card was in mint condition and was never opened before only issue I have was because it was reference(Sapphire)model with blower....but I must said I was pleasantly surprised that card stays cool and it was not that noisy....performance after some OC/undervolting/tweaking is as you said above somewhere there close or on par with the Gtx 1080TI depends of the game or benchmark......

Good deal, I guess? Undervolting does wonders to these, and lack of it may be an issue to those with less effective cooling solution. Mine can suck almost 300W on stock settings (according to Radeon). I could say that Radeon always required tinkering (unlike Nvidia), and generously rewarded those who dare.

Yeah...I been playing all day long with bios editing tried also with the XT bios but after I did some more testing I figured that is better to put back 5700 bios and tweak some settings in bios editor instead and unlock PWR settings on the card....so now card is undervolted(1018Mv) but boosting up to the 1900Mhz and performance wise results are on par with the 5700XT and power consumption is really low....

I own two X5680, two E5-1680V2, one E5-2690V2 and two E5-2699V3. One E5-1680V2 is a golden chip, because it can run Cinebench at 4.6 GHz at 1.27V Vcore and is 100% stable at 4.5GHz at 1.29 Vcore.
I have dismantled X58 and X79 setups. I currently operate only X99 and E5-2699V3. I modded ASUS BIOS and applied -0.07 undervolt on 106.1 BCLK on Rampage V Extreme. I have achieved world records in 21 categories on HWbot. https://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/xeon_e5_2699_v3/
I have scrutinized other HWBot submissions and found out that Gigabyte GA-X99-SOC Champion is capable of reaching 109.3 BCLK.

Did anyone read Zen 4 reviews here? I have noticed that stock 6-core Ryzen 5 7600X scored 2481 CB scores in Cinebench R15 which is higher than 2296 CB scores generated by my stock 18-core Xeon E5-2699V3. I mean, three times less cores beat 18-core beast. That's 8 years of progress. But Xeon is 3 times cheaper than Ryzen 5.

Xeon v3 is less efficient in floating point or AVX. The core count needs to double to compensate for the lower clock speed.

 

[Wdoox]

Hey just a small info, I just ordered rtx 2060 super for 180eu. I think this is good match for 2690v2, anyway when card arrives I'l do some testing.

Did they get claimed yet? I have not had any notifications for this thread in a while, so I missed your offer.

Yes. It went to a local kid that is studying software related things and is using it as a virtualization server.

That's awesome man!!!!!! Couldn't of went to a better person/use.

They can bump the ram to 48GB and maybe get x5690's but, it's something.

 

[Wdoox]

ok, my rtx 2060 super arrived today and performance compering rx 580 is another level. I also put Antec h600 pro cooling, temps are quite good.

rtx 2060 super +2690 v2 (oc 114) unigine heaven

 

[r3down]

so right now im running the E5-2697v2 at 3ghz (bus set to 111), stable- havent gotten into the ram timings / speed yet since i just got into the whole ( some settings enable other disable) Think that seems to happen with this cpu mobo combination? also setting xmp seems to set the core multiplier to its default range of max 27 , but when its auto/manual for cpu it seems to handle its own temperment much better.

I've used similar cables, you'll be alright as long as you don't do any extreme overclocking.

Can I assume you are competent in bios modifications? I have found people good at moving modules around and swapping them out but could never really find someone that really modified the code. I'd love to pick your brain if your up for it. I have a 1680v3 that I know will clock more if I can up the power current restrictions.
