Thank you gentlemen. I shall try the stock with existing thermal paste first.

Excellent points! You are right, This server's purpose is to host fairly non-demanding VMs which I should be probably totally ok with. Here is another quick question: What is regular shelf life for a thermal pastes? Over the years I have accrued a few popular brands that stayed on a shelf for...

I'll try the doing thermal paste first, Good point about the fans. The way Dell designed T7600 is a bit odd, the fans from the front CPU blows into the second CPU/fan. Perhaps intentional, perhaps not. Thanks for the suggestions

Thank you for the reply. You are absolutely right, I will not be saturating the CPUs so perhaps I am ok. Sadly there are no other cheap alternatives because of the Dell socket formfactor. The only alternative I found was this blog...

Heya guys, I have recently bought myself an older Dell Precision T7600 workstation. It came with 2x E5-2667 processors (6 cores each). I will be using this puppy as my server loaded with ESXi and numerous VMs on top so not really a workstation at all. Looking at the T7600 specs I decided to...

Thanks, 4.8 at 1.392 wasn't stable after all, it froze randomly, rarely though, without any load on it ... which is odd. I tried giving it 1.43 and that didnt do it. I since dropped to 4.7GHz and so far, I THINK, is ok, but only time will tell.

Ok thanks. I will keep stressing it further. I played a game yesterday which is CPU demanding and it went well. So 1.392V is a good point to be at? IF it passes further stress tests

Thanks for posting your setup! Appreciate it. Are you running this voltage as manual or offset? My goal is to make it ramp up voltage as it needs i, thats why I am sticking with offset but some people suggested same can be achieved with manual voltage. I just do not know how :) It seems I am...

Great! What is your vcore for 4.8GHz? Mine seems not quite stable during AIDA64 stress test at 1.392 so may need to go over 1.4? Computer freezes after around 30 minutes of stressing. I assume gaming wont stress the CPU nearly as hard so that may be fine. Will 4.8GHz cause a speedy degradation...

Thank you! Lowered offset to +0.020 and the vcore is around 1.340v ish mark and its stable. What would be the approximate vcore for 4.8GHz? I tried pushing that frequency yesterday and with approximately max vcore of 1.392 and while it was perfectly stable in games, stress test like AIDA64...

Thanks for your response. Here is what i've come up with. Can you please correct, criticize? I managed to get to 4.6GHz with reasonably stable temps Using XMP profile for memory BLCK: 100% CPU Strap: untouched at Auto Turbo Ratio: By All Cores at 46 as multipler CPU VCORE Voltage: +Offset at...

I am going to go off what was outlined here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx2z07sFM2I&list=PL91E32848D715CA0A&index=43&feature=plpp_video If you have experience based suggestion, id really welcome them. Thank you,

Hi guys, I would like to try overclock my stock 3930k on P9X79 Deluxe to somewhere around 4.5GHz. I would appreciate any help you can provide with a few questions I have. First off, my cooling solution is Corsair H100i. Asus UI Suite II Auto-overclocked my machine to 4.6GHz (126 x 37) at...

Hi guys, Is there a way to make Asus AI Suite III work on my P9X79 Deluxe mobo? I've read that it was superior to its predecessor (AI Suite II). Or it was just never meant for that board? Many thanks!
