How many of y'all going to follow us with the new upgrades (should only end up being 100 bucks out of pocket after selling the 5639's) which btw doubled in value since i started this thread

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=161292249953&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160

I see 5639's on ebay right now for $94, just saying I don't see it being $100 after selling a 5639. Otherwise, nice.

can you post a link for it selling for that price? also if its from out of country...people would rather pay a little more to get it local....but yea ill sell it for the going price either way...last i checked it was 126.....and it was only that one listing...still a lot more than i paid for mine and still puts me at the 100 dollar upgrade area

Price: $643.99 very expensive but they can be got
 
I just want to be sure. There haven't been any boards with problems accepting these, even if the Bios cpu support list doesn't have them?

Asus P6t Deluxe V2 could use an X5650?

would need to have a latter bios that supports xeons....the factory bios does not (at least i dout it as thats just a version 2 of same board i have) so if its brand new better have an older cpu to do the bios update first, just to be on the safe side) a lot of people here have spare older cpus so don't panic..i sent one of mine to Nate7311 to help him out..so if needed him or someone else could help you out

Thanks. I have a C0 920 and this looked like a nice cheap upgrade.:)

Yeah I had an argument with a US seller recently because he was charging $55USD to send a CPU and other US sellers where quoting about $28USD and as I told him I try not to buy from the US unless they have a reasonable price... plus it is always cheaper and quicker from the UK and Europe in general.
 
maybe we be rocking the x58 for a few more years with 8 core cpus (if the price ever drops)

My System Specs

Default New 1366 32nm cpu pricing at NXSource (and 2 new 8 core Xeons)!
I bought a Corsair Obsidian 800D and tons of watercooling stuff from Dazmode last month, so I was looking for a nice rig to put all that nice stuff to work..

So what do I find buried in crappy google results? NXSource is listing the price for the unreleased 32nm 1366 E5620 Xeon! And adding 1 to the part number led to very interesting info, to say the least. Here's a price list for most of the new Xeons (CAD):

Dual Core:
INTEL XEON E5503,2C,2.0GHZ,4M L3 CACHE $240 (45nm, 80W)

Quad Core:
INTEL XEON E5507,4C,2.26GHZ,4M L3 CACHE $340 (45nm, 80W) (december leaked intel docs showed this as a dual, not quad)
INTEL XEON E5620,4C,2.4GHZ,12M L3 CACHE $476 (32nm, 80W)
INTEL XEON L5630,4C,2.13GHZ,12M L3 CACHE $677 (32nm, 40W)
INTEL XEON E5640,4C,2.66GHZ,12M L3 CACHE $951 (32nm, 80W)

Hex Core:
INTEL XEON L5640,6C,2.26GHZ,12M L3 CACHE $1,224 (32nm, 60W)
INTEL XEON W3680,6C,3.33GHZ,12M L3 CACHE $1,278 (32nm, 130W)
INTEL XEON X5650,6C,2.66GHZ,12M L3 CACHE $1,224 (32nm, 95W)
INTEL XEON X5660,6C,2.80GHZ,12M L3 CACHE $1,498 (32nm, 95W)
INTEL XEON X5670,6C,2.93GHZ,12M L3 CACHE $1,771 (32nm, 95W)
INTEL XEON X5680,6C,3.33GHZ,12M L3 CACHE $1,990 (32nm, 130W)

INTEL XEON E7520,4C,1.86GHZ,18M L3 CACHE $1,094 (32nm?, ??W) (can't find any info on this cpu, wasn't in intel leaked doc)
INTEL XEON E7540,6C,2.0GHZ,18M L3 CACHE $2,531 (32nm?, ??W) (can't find any info on this cpu, wasn't in intel leaked doc)

Octo Core (Wait... What?)
INTEL XEON X7550,8C,2.0GHZ,18M L3 CACHE $3,488 (32nm?, ??W) (afaik this cpu doesn't exist anywhere except in some fleeting screenshots?!)
INTEL XEON X7560,8C,2.26GHZ,24M L3 CACHE $4,719 (32nm?, ??W) (afaik this cpu doesn't exist anywhere except in some fleeting screenshots?!)

Google, how I love thee! I wonder if the info is legit about those 8 cores cpu... I'm thinking they pretty much have to be Gulftown-based, but who knows at this point.

That E5620 looks extremely attractive at that price tag, but I'm wondering if the 18X multi won't be a bit low to get my aim of ~4.6Ghz stable 24h overclock. What do you guys think? Some of those 1156 32nm seem to overclock really well, and a nice X58 board might push them pretty high...

are newest popular cpu ( Xeon X5670) used to cost $1,771 so for $230 i think its an ok bargain.....not as good as paying $70 for a L5639 that basically retails for $940 but still a good price........how many more years can we get out of our x58? its got to be world record time wise ino and a motherboard that just wont die.....until i bought this Asus x58 board i never relised that boards could be overclocked and still be 100% stable and i mean bulletproof

yes i know that now...but the cpus i just ordered is 1366...same as everyone lese
 
primetime said:
never noticed that...but you right...cant wait for mine to get here...what are you getting at 200blck...and are you rock solid stable?
Click to expand...

Yes running 200blck and stable as houses. I have it running at 200 x 21 @ 4.21GHz running everything on Auto with all the power saving on and turbo on. and it is running very cool and very quiet.

Benching 958 in Cinebench R15 and the clock ramps upto 208blck and 4.4GHz there abouts and can run 5 times on Maximum in intel burn.

This will go higher and I was running over 4.4GHz but it puts the fans in the temp range of ramping up to noisy easily so I have sttled on the fastest and coolest combination that is supper stable for me.

Glad to hear.

How are the Uncores/IMC's on these? I feel very lucky to have a chip that will do 3733MHz uncore and 1866MHz mem with 24GB. I've seen very, very few other 980/990x cpus that can.

While Intel did work out the timings to allow the Uncore in Gulftown to be as low as 1.5x instead of 2x, you will see a significant performance gain from increasing the uncore frequency to 2x memory speed, if your Uncore/IMC can handle it. Going to 1.35v uncore is within intels specification. I would highly suggest you not exceed it. This will also be the voltage to change to get your BCLK/QPI up higher.

What's the best bang for buck on these chips? L5639,L5640 or X5650? I'm rocking a 920 on a p6t v1 and can't get over 3.2ghz. Hoping to get 3.4 comfortably
 
Ive had X5650 and L5639

X5650 on MSI X58 Pro E

Best and Stable I got was 3.75GHz Bench 874 Cinebench R15

L5639 on Rampage III Extreme

Best and Stable 3.97GHz Bench 923 Cinebench R15
 
Your item is out for delivery in SIMPSONVILLE, SC 29680.:D so i will be testing today...guess its time to blow the tower out with the shop vac....mail lady usually comes around noon

If you can't get over 3.2 on a 920 I wouldn't expect to get over that with any of those cpus. If I were you I'd buy the cheapest 6 core you can find and not expect to go over 3.2

I wouldn't say that's entirely true. I couldn't do much past 3.2Ghz either for years. Then I did a clean bios flash just to mess around and could hit 3.8 stable at lower voltage. I also got a different waterblock, which may or may not have helped since the temps didn't change much. I think I had a C0 or whatever the first model was too. I got a 5639 that maxes out my board to 200 comfortably stable (great for a $10 net upgrade).

It's also important not to overlook the fact that the 920 is 45nm and these cpus are 32nm. Smaller transistors, less gate leakage, less voltage in general, cooler running = generally better overclocks.

However, I would say anyone unable to get past 3.2 on even a 920 C0 is more than likely suffering either heat issues, or their motherboard/bios is just bad. Remember, not all boards are created equal, and for example, ant0ny's x5650 would probably overclock better on his R3E than it did on his MSI.
 
ugh, double post. sorry guys. if a mod sees this pls delete.
 
Does anyone know of an ITX motherboard for LGA1366 that works with the L5639 :confused:

Or even Micro-ATX ?

My last ditch effort to keep this system.... needs to downsize though :p
 
all i did was change the multi to auto....i tried 24 but it wouldn't boot (voltage to low i guess) but on auto it defaults to 22 which is fine for now;)

its got me at least a ghz in gain so far (on full load)

There's no ITX 1366 motherboards.
Rampage 3 Gene is a good x58 mitx board that supports these xeon cpus.

Can you show the memory tab so we can see your uncore?
You may also want to consider switching from IBT to LinX as IBT has not been updated to correctly handle the new linpack binaries(v11+).

You can get the latest linpack binaries here:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-math-kernel-library-linpack-download

And you can get the updated LinX frontend here:

I ran at 4.0ghz for a while, when I say 3.2 I mean i havent touched anything in the bios but blck and called it good.

I'm just debating a xeon or selling my 920/p6t deluxe and moving to an 4670l. Net costs might work out pretty similiar and performance. Plus I'd get USB 3.0 and all the new jazz.

Honestly Mitch, I'd expect any of these cpus to do 4GHz easily. The L5640 has a top turbo multiplier of 21, so you should be able to do 4.2GHz at 200BCLK, which has been easily reachable on all of the 1366 chips I've owned.

i would probably need to upgrade my cooling just to be able to use the max multiplier lol....i never saw that coming.....i ran out of past and found some really old free stuff that came with something i ordered over the years......i gained at least 1 ghz since when running this test before my pc would throttle down to 3.2ghz (i could still get 4 gig on turbo)

Really nice work there. Did you manually set your uncore to 3200MHz? Or are you set to Auto? Real interesting if these xeons do 2x uncore default instead of 1.5x like the i7's!

Also worth noting is the Tj max for these cpus is 96C, while the i7 is 101C.
