ye got it for 250 usd

Hi I currently use a 1660v3 in an Asus RVE mobo. All manual voltage and newest bios. I've ordered an i7 6950x from AliExpress but I'm a bit scared to use this chip in my Asus RVE motherboard because of the thread of the OC socket killing the CPU. I have an extra x99 mobo, a MSI x99 titanium...

It's the board, yes. I did swap the i7 5930k CPU to the good board and here all memory channels works. So I left the i7 5930k in the weird board, overclocked it a little and gave it to my brother. It's most likely a bad pin somewhere, but I've searched and unbent all I could find. But it runs...

Hi I'm really worried about my new Asus x99 boards committing sudoku. I've heard it's because the OC socket go retard and sends a crap load of voltage to the cache when left to auto or adaptive voltages. I picked up two Asus RVE boards including a 5930k for pretty cheap, 1 was sold as defective...

Hi Edloma You must have a decent x79 motherboard. I have a ASUS P9X79 Pro. Which motherboard do you use? BCLK does have a tradeoff with PCIe cards. My GTX 1070 works fine, but i tried with a LSI 9212-4i4e and a 10Gb Melanox SFP+ network card and these 2 only worked at 100mhz BCLK. I got 5 SSDs...

The Xeon X5650 can easy hit 4.0 with a good board, but a good used board is hard to come buy. Look at your local equivalent for Craigslist for used systems with a shitty i7 920 and a good motherboard.

Damn, that's a thicc board! The one with SFP+ modules and 16 memory slots? E5-2667v2s or 2687Wv2, just get what ever is cheapest. There's no real performance difference, both have all core turbo at x36. Got my 2667 v2 from this seller, the chip arrived 5 days after i ordered it - freaking...

Damn, that's expensive but still it's a nice chip. The high end E5's are indeed all so similar :) Are you running 4.5ghz on all 8 cores for the past 2 years then? stable?

Funky. I've heard the V2 are easier and more forgiving to BCLK clock than the V1s, you might want to consider getting some V2's, if you are to BCLK clock them. :) Freebay Xeon E5 2680 v2...

The 1680v2 is a lovey chip, but sadly it's very expensive, ~500$ on the bay. At which price did you get yours? And the first '1' in the product name, means it's a single socket CPU. E5 2xxx means dual, E5 4xxx means quad and so on (but I'm sure you already know that :)).

Is that system used for gaming or virtualization? I think you should go with dual E5 2680 v2 instead, unless you use it for gaming. 2680v2 are cheaper (~180$ vs ~250$), more cores and lower TDP. :) If the 2680 v2 ever comes below or at 100$, they are a steal.

Who in their right mind would play skyrim at 400 FPS. It's a bethesda engine... If you go above 72 FPS shit starts to get funky...

Oh hi Hard Just wanted to let you know I've got at stable overclock of 114mhz BCLK on a Xeon E5 2667 v2, which means a neat 4.1 all core turbo and 4.5 single core turbo. :) And all on stock turbo voltage. The most impressive thing IMO is the cooling, overclocked at 114mhz BCLK it never got...
