Cool. Ordered 1 to upgrade the 920.

Are you absolutely sure this is correct? There are 2 architectures worth of IPC improvements between the two, the 3770k at 4.5 is clocked nearly 2x what the L5639 turbos to at stock. It's 4 cores vs 6 cores but the frequency difference and IPC advantage of the Ivy chip seems like it might be hard to overcome.
Overclocked, sure... but stock?
If you have a 3770k run the test post your result. Then we will run the same with the L5639. This would be the easiest way to help you and everyone else out here.
what's the typical power draw from the outlet when running all 6 cores overclocked to say 3.2-3.6GHz?
Just switched from a quad core Intel i7 920 OC'd to 3.8ghz to this Xeon OC'd to ~3.7ghz (205 BCLK). The performance gains in FPS are quite significant.
FRAPS results taken on 64p Large Conquest server -- Floodzone:
Setup: X58 Sabertooth, GTX 780 @ 1100, 6gb ram, 1920x1200, Ultra 4xMSAA
Min fps Avg fps Max fps:
Quad core:
52 77 110
Six core :
67 94 134
Core usage on the Xeon averages about 70% across all six cores, with a few spikes to 75% in heated moments. I forgot to check the i7 core usage before I replaced it, unfortunately. The max and min fps do vary quite a bit across my bench logs since no two game sessions are identical (high fps max with no action; low minimum with lots of explosions, etc) but the average is pretty consistent.
Conclusion: about a 20% gain in avg FPS by switching to this CPU.
Edit: Running the Xeon @ 1.32v, 1.36v QPI, with a Kraken X60. Temps never exceed 52c running LinX. I'll try for 210 BCLK tomorrow and see what happens.
like soon as you realize the storm in hitting full swing, and the waves are maxing out alt out and grab a screen shot lol one would think those waves be hard on cpus....impressive for sureCan you post a screenshot of the task manager while playing that map...was just curious if any difference using nvidia 780 card vs. mine

Sure:
Edit: Windows 8.1 isn't reporting the correct frequencies (should be 3.7ghz). Off topic, but this is actually causing some problems with nVidia Shadowplay because it's unavailable due to the CPU frequency not meeting the minimum 3.1ghz requirement. Any solutions to this? Would appreciate it!
Anyone have any insight if the L5639 is compatible with the MSI boards? I have a MSI Pro E that im looking to use.
I've been reading this topic for while and I thought I'd make a account and post. So here is my first post. I'm on other sites as well. I don't come across a lot of X58 topics nowadays so this is great to me. I received my chip about a week ago, I have been thinking about upgrading my X58 for time now, but it appears I won't be doing that for awhile now.
I was originally running my i7-960 Quad+HT @ 3.9Ghz and 4.1Ghz. I have successfully overclocked my new L5639 to 4.4Ghz [stable]. I usually run it at 4Ghz for the lower Vcore settings. I have also included some comparisons. I wanted to do more before and after benchmarks, but I couldn't resist and HAD to install my new Xeon.
Here is my basic setup. The only thing that changed is my CPU.
Asus Sabertooth X58
Xeon L5639 OC'd @ 4.4Ghz and 3.9Ghz
Antec Kuhler 620
12GB [6x2GB] 1600Mhz RAM Triple Channel
Dual Monitor
x1 SSD ---- x2 HDD 7,200rpm High Performance
GTX 670 2-way SLI
Now I'll post my benchmarks. Note: I ran all test @ 4Ghz on the L5639
Cinebench 11.5
i7-960 @ 3.87Ghz = 6.64
7-960 @ 4.1Ghz = 7.03
Xeon L5639 @ 3.971Ghz [4Ghz] = 10.12

Performance Test 7.0
[I know 8.0 is out. This will have to do for now]
i7-960 @ 4Ghz = CPU Mark - 8237.4
Xeon L5639 @ 4Ghz = CPU Mark - 12345.9

Got 109.4 Frames in my Tomb Raider Benchmark as well [1080p]. I used to get around 100. Minor bump. I'm thinking about upgrading my GTX 670s. I don't know. I might upgrade to the 7990 Quad or something. I'm probably going to just wait until next year.
What motherboard and settings are you running to be able to get that high? What cooling as well?
Ohhh the devil in the details.. Got my L5639 in this morning, but not booting. Cleared CMOS, tried taking memory out, simply nothing.
Double checked compatibility list, and it isn't specifically listed, but found a thread on evga forums that suggests a revision 1.2 of my board supports the Westmere EP's. Trying to identify my board revision, as i couldnt see it on the board itself.
Any program that can assist here? 132-BL-E758-A1

Guys..i just registered. i really need help, if someone can help me, i be sooo grateful.... some company is selling me a workstation with this cpu... i do hardcore video encoding,rendering, and hardcore gaming, i want to know friends, at stock speeds, can this cpu handle modern gaming? Currently i have an Athlon x4 645 3.1ghz, and im looking for a performance equal to Amd Fx's and Intel i5s at stock speed, Can this CPU do that? im getting it really cheap with 12 gigs of ram, and will add a Very nice Graphics card. what intel processor does it compare to at stock speeds?
Thank you guys so much.. i only got like 2 days for this offer. thank you all.
Do us a favor and run intel burn test 2.54 at very high stress level 2 different times and ways. first is checking to see if your turbo multiplier is really stable. set it to use 2 threads only and once it starts set it in task manager to use only 2 cores. this will run your cpu at 20x turbo (4.4GHZ) multiplier the hole time. take a screen shot of it when done.
Second test set it a very high stress level like before but set it to use 12 threads and let it do its thing at default number of 10 tests like the previous test. your rampage will use the 18x (3.96GHZ) multiplier the hole time and take a screen shot when done.
If you can do these relatively quick test's in my book your overclock is totally stable..feel free to include a summary view of HWINFO64 next to your test just to show actual clock speeds of each core when done.
Good luck and you got me impressed if you get it to pass them both and im sure more than a few asus sabertooth board users will want pictures of your bios settings so they can get the same results.
I'm using a Sabertooth btw and thanks for the luck . I've tested the system @ 4.4Ghz over the weekends. No issues. Stable. I did test only two cores a week ago, but stopped. I don't really like doing that [1-2 cores above standard] to my CPU at all. Never have liked that idea. However, I see why you would want me to stress the cores. Since only 2 of them guarantees 4.4Ghz when only two cores are being used. All of the CPUs run at 4.4, but drop obviously to [x18]. Also when I use Intel Burn Test I use the "Maximum" setting. However, I used the "Standard" settings for two cores even though I was reluctant to do so at all as I've explained above. I guess I could run more test on two cores, but I already have and don't want to screw anything up. I'm satisfied with all of the test and comparisons I've ran over the past 2 weeks or so.
Here are my results.
Intel Burn Test v2.54

Thank you very much for your reply, i dont like overclocking, never tried and seeing as im on a huge budget, i cant. im getting the entire system for $350, and thats with 12gb ram. and its a workstation and stock. and if you could find out for me how it performs compared to other chips at stock speed that be great!
currently i run an amd athlon x4 645 3.1ghz, i love this chip, and i hope that this Xeon out performs it. i want to get a r9 270x and game with this rig ): but am skeptical..
oh and iam a jobless highschooler if that helps. i was gonna build a fx6300 rig but its expensive.... and maybe this processor will beat the fx6300 at stock speeds. Looking forward for more info. Thanks a lot Sir!
I by no means want you to do something you feel is damaging to your setup, as a matter of fact i would't be surprised if it did pass the test i suggested with 2 cores....I will admit im a bit baffled as to why you think it could cause damage. my system actually jumps from 16 to 20 when making the 2 core test as yours is only jumping from 18 to 20 and much less likely to find instability from a smaller jump.
Now for me i had to be sure, and im glad i did, cause mine kept failing that particular test ( running 10 times at very high stress) til i lowered my blck to 207....so i dropped it 2 more for the headroom...lol to me its actually a lot less stressful than testing 12 threads since it never really heats up much...its really just verifying its really stable at the turbo freq.....and ill admit its rare if ever an application or program would have it run at turbo sustained for that long of time.( if ever)
But i will say this even with just bf4 turbo is being used on and off all the time...just not a sustained load for anywhere near that long...lol the ocd in me had to be sure that mine was 100% stable
hey i still love my asus p6t delux...but i wish i had gotten the sabortooth back then
That's good to hear. I'm glad you got it stable. You are right when you say not many, if any, programs will just use one or two cores. Unless specified. I started stressing two cores about a week ago. No issues. I stopped the stress testing on both of them after a several hours. I don't want anything to go wrong lol. I like where I am at the moment. Yeah I don't go from x16 to x20.....x18 is where my MB likes to sit. Otherwise it's x20. I'm just trying to overclock one my GTX 670 now. One of them is being a real b**** and the other is fine and passing 1306+Mhz. Ugh. I'm thinking about just going AMD and getting a 7990 eventually or one of those 290x or something.
It will run circles around a stock Athlon 645 at stock settings!
