hoping someone can help me out real quick because I am feeling pretty stupid but I am trying to OC a Xeon X5660 on a MSI X58A-GD65 board and I can't adjust any of the voltage settings in the board, they are all grayed out and in Auto
is there something I am missing to enable these? there is no mention in the manual besides
so I am at a bit of a loss here... any suggestions??
I *think* I tried that but I was using a wireless logitech keyboard without a numberpad so I had to use the function key and the regular +/-... I will try with a regular keyboard
You are insane, but you are part of us now. We are X58 Xeon enthusiasts, resistance is futile.not bad for a 7 year old CPU... still love the x56xx series chips so much... my friends think I'm insane lol

That's a good score, I'm hoping to pick up a 1080/1080ti used in the next few months, I'll look forward to a score like that!
I have 2 friends with i7 930/950 CPUs and I keep trying to convince them to pick up one of these 6-core xeons with no success....yet....
well I had a stack of x58 boards sitting the in the office so figured I'd try my hand at it... been doing 1366 for a while, just not x58... running dual xeon x5675s for a couple years now as my main desktop with a 970 and have 6 servers running dual L5640s but wanted something for VR
Is the x5670 the general best value for old x58 boards?
Hey, I'm running an I7920 on a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R v1. On their website Gigabyte says that I can only use 3XXX Xeon processors, not 5XXX. V2 of this board will support the 5XXX. Is this the actual case? Has anyone tried running 5XXX Xeons on this board? I would like to make the jump to a Hex core Xeon. What do you guys recommend? Thanks
Anybody here running X5675 in an MSI X58 Pro board? I have a good deal on this board, but I wanna see if I can run it before plunging.
Been reading several pages of this thread, awesome stuff guys. Got myself a X5660 the other week, grabbed my dads old P6T Deluxe v2 and swapped it with my Westmere i3 530 and motherboard. Bought the cheapest 1600 MHz RAM I could find on eBay, and lo' and behold, it actually overclocked rather nicely. Total expense for Xeon cpu and RAM were 65 $, performance wise and fun factor makes it feel like a steal. Don't think I will upgrade for at least a year, probably longer.
Stable at 4.2 GHz on all cores, 1.33v vcore in BIOS. BCLK 200 MHz, 12 GB 1600 MHz CL11 RAM @ 1600 MHz CL 9, 1.65v.

Oh i think plenty of us are paying attention to these new cpu's....Either would be a pretty decent upgrade honestly....Your like me and get interested when its over a double the performance currently being used If they were 500 and under it would be an easy decision to justify lolHey guys!
Just wondering if any of you is considering 7900x or Threadripper as your upgrade from our beloved 6-core Xeons?
I am doing more video editing and a lot of photo editing with plug ins etc so sometimes I wonder if I could get much faster performance from one of those new CPUs.
hahah indeed I want a BIG jump in performance. Guess my concern is clock speeds with the Threadripper and how it will perform in games (not like I really game but just in case) vs mine clocked at 4.4-4.5Ghz even though mine is of course an older CPU. But my main use will be productivity, Photoshop, DXO Prime, Lightroom, Vegas 14..so on.Oh i think plenty of us are paying attention to these new cpu's....Either would be a pretty decent upgrade honestly....Your like me and get interested when its over a double the performance currently being used If they were 500 and under it would be an easy decision to justify lol
So anyone here have 1st hand long term experience with 1.45+ vcore on a Westmere, and specifically an x5670? Anyone have first hand experience with degradation because of high vcore? I am setting up a system and I can hit 4.51 at 1.4 but to get any higher I need to run the vocre up.. If I do that, I can hit 4.62 at 1.45 and 4.72 at 1.48. But I'd like some real world feedback on high vcore's long term effects. Not theory or some guy on the net said, but real 1st hand experience. Were this for me, I'd run it at 4.72 if the only downside was a reduced lifespan. The chips are cheap enough now that if it only lasts a year or two, who cares? But to make that argument to someone else, I'd like to hear from folks who've run these levels for an extended period. Temps are not an issue at this point, just the voltage. The system peaks at about 86c in 30c ambient and stays below 80c in 23c ambient. NZXT X41 cooler, P6X58D Premium, 12GB Mushkin enhanced silverline, Enthoo Pro case w/6 fans. System will not be used for any serious gaming (obviously). http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/4235060

Don't know with 100% certainty, but there are lot of reports that people are using their x58a-ud3r v1 with 5xxx series xeon cpus. Just research the latest bios and give it a try. With the low cost of the xeons on ebay, you have very low risk.
Ok, I have an old x58 930 rig sitting idle, am thinking about sticking a xeon in there so what would be the best xeon to get for 1366? Is it the 5690 ?
As they are going cheap on fleabay
the higher number (as in 5690 over 5650) will always clock higher with lower blck.....which in many case or boards is easier to hit.....So a 5670 would be the lowest i would buy if it were me. I heard from some people that 5675's are pretty sweetAlso interested in this question. I have read a x5650 may be the best choice due to it being easier to over clock with bclk? I maybe wrong
well when i used to have a 7970 and running bionic using the cpu and gpu it could pull up to 500 watts from the wall...so i figure my cpu overclock peaked around 200 watts from the wall. Internal usage of 140 watt i think is doable, but at the wall would be more. (again this is a rough guess)what is the power consumption of a Xeon oc'ed to like 4,00Ghz, I read something like 140W is that realistic?
