it's inconvenient but still not inconvenient enough for me to really give a shit about upgrading

Pretty badly, a single Ryzen or 6900k murders you.

990x is the true king of the 1366 socket boi

77% of the performance.
8% of the price.

And I suppose you don't like to talk about the Socket 2011 Xeons, that might be embarrassing...

Doing pretty well. All basic computing tasks are still effortless of course, and 4k and even 8k playback is great. Games still run well, and if it is a game optimized for multi-cores like Doom I can get far over 100 fps with high settings and a GTX 1060.

The X5690 is the strongest LGA 1366 CPU, but it's still very expensive and hard to find motherboards that support the necessary overclocking to bring out the true potential. Still, you can get two of them for $220 and even unoverclocked they are still extremely powerful and compare well to the fastest Ryzen of the moment.

I've heard of some work done in Brazil of messing with them on the physical hardware level to enable overclocking on boards that don't support it. If a reliable method can be replicated there it will be very interesting to see how long these CPUs can stay relevant.

How did you get windows 10 enterprise desu?

>X5690
Right but as far as a single chip for the x58 broads the 990x is as good as it gets. Definitely better for gaming

>>Xeon Cinebench: 1340

More like 950 while overclocked to 4.2

That 1340 by the way is my own cinebench 15 score running at stock speed.

Gaming isn't everything, friend.

I had my x5650 overclocked to 5ghz.

At idle it consumed 220w.

Full load it peaked around 600w.

It gets roughly the same performance as a stock 5820k.

The only dual socket motherboard capable of overclocking dual xeons is the SR2. The SR2 is instantly rare and also incredibly expensive.

99% of the people running dual x58 xeons are running them stock and the cinebench of the two loses to any overclocked x99 hexacore.

That sounds so nicely warm and toasty.

>The only dual socket motherboard capable of overclocking dual xeons is the SR2

I swear I saw a youtube video I have now lost the link to where the description was in Portuguese and the uploader had successfully overclocked their dual x5650s to 4 ghz on a Supermicro motherboard by jumping two connections on either the CPU or the motherboard.

>SR2
Only $500 plus shipping and you get some free x5660s!

I'm considering building a dual x5650 on a supermicro x8dal-i/x8dtl-3 board just so i can sell this shit laptop im using for everything. I already have a decent ATX case lying around so no EATX for me.

Yeah, no. My room turned into a sauna even during the winter.

When I was trying to stay stabilize 5ghz the system would shut off erratically, sometimes after 24 hours, sometimes 10 minutes. Eventually after weeks of troubleshooting I finally found out that it was triggering the over current protection on my 860w platinum seasonic psu. I was too deep into the rabbit hole by then and had to splurge on an ax860i.

I had fun, kinda. But the shit is honestly dated and I really wouldn't recommend it.

Also overclocking on x58, holy shit

I've been out of the scene for a while now so idk. I wouldn't trust any overclocking of server mobos with how power hungry these chips are.

The room I'm in right now is near zero, and so I'm just really wishing I had a heater that could also double as my computer.

I wouldn't build a 2x x5650 machine since used z800s and T7500s are so cheap on ebay.

pls help. which one?

It doesn't matter. Whichever has the highest price/performance ratio.

Damn. Those are cheap. I still kind of want to assemble it myself because i find that fun though.

>Full load it peaked around 600w.
Yeah, sure.

how about a single of these instead of a 975? worth it?

Depends on what you're going to do with it.

...

Great. I have 2 L5640 in a dell R510, 2 L5630 in a dell R710, 2 x5670 in a dell precision T7500

You might as well get one of the better CPUs from the same line-up like the x5675 if you're only going to use one of them and you're not getting a whole system.

I mean upgrading to the best possible 1366 I can

what's your motherboard?

I feel like I'm on borrowed time with this machine. I don't wanna give up my baby though...thoughts?

Used Xeon E5-2600s are cheap

>Intel
Into the trash.

Just fine, I use mine for virtualization and it works dandy.

X5650's are really cheap. Should consider it.

exactly, i got 2 e5 2670s aound 15 months ago for 40$ each
CB score is around 2000 for a sub 1000$ biuld

>2 logical cores per physical

shit forgot pic

But what if I want to actually use my computer and not experience blue screens every 15 minutes user?

just one x5650 family

upgraded from an i7 920, well worth the $100

>3.5TB RAID0
>22TB RAID6
Get your shit together matey.

>Dual Xeon X5650
>72GB of cheap, eBay-sourced DDR3 ECC RAM
Still living the comfy life, OP. Don't see any need to upgrade, for probably another 5 years.

>990X

>TB
TiB

>Get your shit together matey.
what?

wrong pic

Just sold pic related for $100.
The LGA1366 market is completely broken - won't deny that OC'ing X58 is fun though

>X5650
>$100
You're doing it wrong

Assuming it was in full working order, you can get a fair bit more for those. I take it you just wanted the money quickly?

I have 2x 2670's and 2x 2620's

am I in a club?

Easy, don't buy Intel.

I don't get to be in the 2x club, sadly. All I've got is the one lonesome X5675, forever separated from its soulmate.

Running 1 x5650 @ 4.1Ghz
@ASUS Rampage II Gene

Going higher is waste of power imo.

Only thing I miss is SATA3 and USB3.0/3.1

PCIe 2.0 is still alright for GFXcards now

No, you didnt. 600W, no.

I have x5650s and dual e5-2670s, no fucking way could you burn 600W. Or 220W at idle, even. My dual 2670 setup with seven disks, four gpus and a few other devices idles at 130W. At boot it draws 220W for a short while.

>5ghz
I highly doubt that, unless on phase change, dry ice or nitrogen.. and no way stable. I call bullshit, as you whould need VERY high bclk also on a x5650.

>600w
I had a SR2 with two x5670 @ 4.5ghz, combined at 100% load they drew about 600w

a 4.5ghz x5650 is about the performance of a 5820k stock.

>this thread renember me i broke my mobo and is like 300$
>tfw using a 775 q6600 now

Just like any other versions of Windows 10, are you retarded?

You might still be able to use one of the X5400 series Xeons.

so what are xeons used for
i only got an i5 6500

A xeon is just like a i5 or i7, only strickter tested for computing errors for server application etc..

This also made them better overclockers usually, but after socket 1366/1156 they removed the possibility of overclocking via bclk, and other than on the z/x chipset motherboards with a "k" version cpu..

This is so you cant buy a cheaper xeon with more cores and overclock it to perform like the top of the line cpu's that costs thousands of dollars..

In other words, because jews.

how good are they for emulating video games?

Pretty good.

2x X5560

In theory it was really powerful for the price but I didn't use it for stuff that could utilise 8 cores across two CPUs and it sucked for gaming. It also had lots of other downsides due to being so old and server/workstation focused (no on board SATA III or USB 3.0, no PCIe 3 and poor slot selection, no M.2, etc.) and it put out a shit ton of heat. Now have a 4790k that performs better at like half the wattage and the motherboard has the newer features.

Yes, you don't know.

It's probably pretty useful if you're into running 12 emulators at a time.

And the 4790k for benchmark comparison, same graphics cards at the same clocks. Cinebench multicore is a bit lower (single core is much higher) but I could easily match it with overclocking (haven't bothered yet, still at stock).

Hi I have pretty old cpu i5 3570K

What would be nice and cheap upgrade?

I can find cheap xeons but only expensive motherboards.

Reccomend me best xeons under 100$ per one.

Depends what fits your price range, production needs, and support plans. I use IBM mostly, only a few old dell servers which don't really do much.

>the 2x L5520

was looking at one of those or a 567x, maybe when I've got other projects out of the way that need harder to find hardware

Dell, big endian is a fucking pain in the ass.

Seems v8 supports little endian now, and a lot of Linux distros at least on it are starting to switch over.

There are USB3 PCI cards anons.

>wasting a PCIe slot for USB3
why

>not getting the one with a 3.0 front panel

>LGA1366
>starving for PCIe lanes

I know that, hence why I said on board USB 3. I was already using one of the decent PCIe slots for a SATA III card for my SSD and two graphics cards in the other two, I think that last slot left was something stupid like PCIe 1.0 2x.

It's only PCIe 2 remember, and a lot of dual socket boards have a shit selection.

>>starving for PCIe lanes
I have LGA2011 and im starved for PCIe slots. Dual GPUs, a RAID card and a 10GbE NIC take up all 6.

Anybody running fresh x79 huanan board with 2011 cpu?

E5-2680 V2 ES on Asus X79 WS, base clocked to about 3.3GHz, cinebench score is 1509. And my 4790k gets about 950 score

FYI

This is a 1366 thread, fyi.

The bandwidth is shit, I'll give you that, but I'll take it considering the platform is holy shit amounts of old by this point.

Agreed on the shit selection of slots on dual socket boards - I use a Tyan S7012 and all the slots are x8 (open-ended at least so you can use a x16 card without cutting it down)

Australia tax family, used server parts are not cheap here.

Only running single socket here, W3690, but Westmere is Bestmere for sure.
I might finally retire this machine as my workstation in favor of Threadripper, or possibly its successor.
The Westmere & X58 machine will live on though as a VM host for a number of services I run.

Good luck finding a board for that socket though. The CPUs are so cheap because the boards are a pain in the ass to find.

looks like a nice upgrade user. I really want to put some new components in my old HP microatx case. But I think the case headers won't work on a new motherboard.
