Here's the build idea so far.
Intel Xeon E5-1680 V2
X79 UP5 Gigabyte C606 Motherboard
4x8GB DDR3 2,933MHz CAS 12
Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti
Any info on getting Intel 750 SSD's working with X79?
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...
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?
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...
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.
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...
I'm a system builder at heart and have been for over 15 years.
I'm looking to order or assemble my new Workstation.
Dell has a T5810 workstation, and here is how I've configured it.
Xeon 1680 V3 8 core unlocked CPU.
C612 motherboard
32gb of ECC ddr4 memory
Nvidia Quadro P5000 "GTX1080" only...
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...
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...
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.
1) Phanteks Entho Evolve itx case
2) i5 6600K silicone lottery 5ghz
3) Gigabyte Z-170 gaming 5 itx board
4) X2, Samsung 850 250GB ssd raid
5) Sapphire RX-480 8GB
6) 2X16GB Team Dark 3000 DDR4
Should be a quick little puppy. I got a deal on the 6600K $292 on eBay new silicone lottery with...
I've got a Xeon 2687w "retail" not ES.
I paid $230.00
All of the ones on eBay are buy it now, or fixed prices, you gotta wait until a auction comes along.
Google has I7 995X reviews listed, and I saw one on eBay before, it was a QS sample like the same models they get in the reviews.
I look...
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...
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...
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.
I've got the chip running at X34 multiplier with a 106mhz bclk. I'm still at stock voltage, the best I could get was 3,604 mhz on all 8 cores with hyper threading on.
I'm using a cheap $135 X99 board.
Is there a X99 board that allows extreme bclk overclocking?
It also says the speed in the bios lol. It said Intel Xeon V3 8 core haswell EP 4,599mhz after restart in bios very strange
I've got several boosted up xeons. And
I have purchased several ES chips on eBay, I've got a 2687W @ 4.066ghz, and (2) Xeon 2680's over 3.2ghz, and my 3970X at 5ghz.
I...
I could control multiplier in the guys bios I picked it up from as high as I want. But, it would not post in windows. This is what I am having a hard time understanding. It would just say 3ghz in windows.
Maybe, the bios type? Or board type?
I thought the multiplier on a 2600 is like locked...
QEYZ stepping pulls up 1660 v3 on Intel website, which is what is stamped on the cpu. Base is 3ghz and boost is actually 3.2ghz.
How is this not identical to a 1660 v3? Or a 5960X? Sorry but I'm gonna have say you guys were wrong on this one. This is a 1660-V3
I have the CPU with me. I just...
I'd go Xeon 2687W , about $230 or so.. but, they can boost all 8 cores to 3.8ghz and put bclk to 107mhz. Mine is currently running at 4.066ghz on all 8 cores for $230 bucks with HT on!
It smacks around a stock 5960X , for less then a quarter.
I love a value! I have (2) Xeon 2680's I got both...
Hey everyone, I am looking at buying this processor locally.
It is a Intel Xeon Haswell EP 1660 V3 8 core CPU 3ghz base, and a 3.2ghz turbo. It is a engineering sample, and in cup id, and Aida64, it list that the max multiplier ratio is X56 and the CPU is unlocked. Although, on the msi X99...
I am also still tinkering with the i7 3970X I have booted in to windows at 5Ghz but prolonged voltage at 1.5V will kill it.., I just started overcloking it last night, both chips came in mail yeserday. Seems sandy bridge chip were really good at overclocking. I plan to keep the system for...
yes im some games I have noticed that. Although, it seems newer games like BF4 and some others really benefit from a 8 core CPU. So, it is literally like a hit or miss. If I have a Asus Rampage IV Black edition some can get the BCLK to 112Mhz - 115Mhz which would PUT me at a respected 4,370Mhz...
I am getting back in to computers! So, I have purchased (2) intel CPU's.
I bought a ligtly used I7 3970X, and a Xeon 2687W retail model.. NOT ES
So, my 3970X will run at 4.6Ghz very easily on all 6 cores. Which is really fast considering it is a 4 year old CPU. I paid $175
Now, my Xeon...
The cards final scores ended up right around 5,931 in 3dMark FireStrike.
Everyone relax! It is ok! My GTX 660 is actually faster than a GTX 760 SC
Now, there is no telling what can be done to a GTX 760 SC, after unlocking voltage and overclocking the hell out of it, and squeezing its small...
I am still very curious how the Tesla K20 works. Does it help power the video card connected to the display? For example, if I am running a gtx Titan and a Tesla K20. Does this mean I have a super beast graphics setup? In games? Applications? And 3d design? And will it work? Considerinf they are...
I have built a workstation, this is what I have so far. I want to use my system for graphic design, and 3d rendering and development. This is for a business, I have not used graphic design programs in a while. So things have changed! Cgi videos, some 3d modeling and characters. I also want to...
