    Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2 3.0GHz 25MB Cache 8-Core Processor

    There great CPU's and for stability I'd do the same thing. I'm probably going to go for 4.5Ghz with the lowest possible voltage it will run stable at. My biggest concern is I want to run really fast memory. So it can be competitive to Haswell E. Would XMP profile even work running memory at...

    Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2 3.0GHz 25MB Cache 8-Core Processor

    All your getting is 4.4 with a 1650? I use to run a 1650 V3 I ran it at 4.65Ghz on a 240mm AIO. What's best memory I could run? I'm looking at some DDR3 2933 CAS 12, could it even handle that?

    Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2 3.0GHz 25MB Cache 8-Core Processor

    I've just scooped up a 1680 V2 $600 shipped . Hoping to hit 4.7Ghz with 1.35+ There's not many people running odd chips like these. Other than Lutjens, and Mr too short and few others, I've seen 4.95Ghz Ghz first hand . It's no laughing matter what these Dinosaurs can pull off, that new...

    Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2 3.0GHz 25MB Cache 8-Core Processor

    I'm not sure if it's unlocked or not. I'm sure it is.. as all E5-1600 V3 and up CPU's are unlocked. But even if it wasn't, $2,400 for a 12 core Haswell EP Xeon and 64gb of ECC memory is nothing to sneeze at.

    Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2 3.0GHz 25MB Cache 8-Core Processor

    I've actually found a Xeon 1686 V3 in a HP Z640 for sale. The system has 64GB of DDR4, and it's at about $2,400 USD. It is being sold from the UK. It only has a lesser Quadro card in it. This system is a 12 core haswell EP at 2.6Ghz base speed. There is a 1680 V3 on eBay right now for $795...

    Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2 3.0GHz 25MB Cache 8-Core Processor

    Hey guys, I wanted to upgrade my 6600K for more encoding power. It's a 5.1Ghz, but it just gets hosed at 100% utilization and stays at about 91C degrees since I've had it, and that is after the delidding. Lol. Anyways, I'm looking at the 1680 V3, 1660 V3, or 1691 V3. Are they all unlocked...

    AMD Radeon RX 480 Owners Club

    I just built this rig last Friday. My first run with a RX480 resulted in 14,305 graphics. All I did was set memory to 2,200 and turn power limiter all the way to 50%. I did not touch the core clocks. Firestrike scores! Graphics=14,305 Physics=10,505 I5 6600K 4.6Ghz 1.3v Z170 mini itx 16gb...

    AMD Radeon RX 480 Owners Club

    My RX480 is on the way. I bought the Sapphire RX480 8GB model. I am super excited, in DX12 the card beats a GTX980 at stock clocks. I'm going to overclock it as high as I possibly can manage, run water on it, modify bios! I plan to squeeze every last drop of performance out of it.

    Xeon 1660 V3 8 core 3ghz "QEYZ" close to 5960X

    ok so I am confused now. I sold this CPU to my brother, he said running a low BCLK can cause instability! for example 102, 103 or even 105 mhz. And there is a certain BCLK strap that has to be achieved. And with X99 motherboards it is 100 Mhz/ 125 Mhz/ and 176 Mhz. HE is running a 125 Mhz BCLK...

    Sandy Bridge-E 6-core Stll Worth a Buy?

    I grabbed a i7 3970X 6 Core extreme edition, and a Asus P9X79 motherboard, and 16GB of DDR3 1866mhz memory, with a Xeon dynatron cooler for $369.99 shipped for all of it! The chip has 15MB of L2 cache, and runs at 5Ghz. with 12 threads. There is really nothing out there that can knock it off its...

    Xeon 1660 V3 8 core 3ghz "QEYZ" close to 5960X

    The QEYZ is out of my hands now! I sold it as a Xeon 1660 V3 8 core. With a locked multiplier. It seems alot of people do not care, if they are after it for just the 8 cores and Xeon features.
