can it run minecraft

This is no surprise most anons here run moded LGA 771 with Xeons and shit ton of ram.

Am I 12? I dont even have that game.
I used an r9 290x from my old nahelem build and powering a ultrawide 1440p monitor with that.
Witcher 3 sure is comfy

>so 32gb ecc memory performs nearly like 2666mhz
That's not how it works

>refurbished enterprise hardware
>no manufacturer warranty

1333mhz Quad-Channel memory performs nearly as well as you 8700k dual channel memory

And why would I need that again? It's a 5 year old machine. Its a well tested Enterprise workstation. It surely proved it's worth by still working flawlessly after 5 years. I mean even the Power supply is made to last

Quad-channel has higher bandwidth, but it doesn't perform significantly better than Dual-channel. Unless you actually have software that manages to use all that extra bandwidth. Which you probably don't, so your slow Quad-channel is not performing better than equally slow Dual-channel.

Is this advanced bait we have here?
Fuck off retard.

>Xeon e5-1650 has single thread comparable to r7 1800x
Nope.

>It's a 5 year old machine. Its a well tested Enterprise workstation. It surely proved it's worth by still working flawlessly after 5 years. I mean even the Power supply is made to last

Caps don't last forever, they die eventually. And now you cant replace your PSU or mobo with standard stuff. And the PSU isnt made to last outside for it's useful lifespan, which has ended.

But those are slow af

It improves minimum fps in games..
But I am doing a lot of other stuff besides gaming where ram bandwith keeps a big role.
Also because it's DDR3 the latencies are a lot lower than whats typical today

You can buy those power supplies for cheap
Enterprise class workstations last a lot longer than you think

>Also because it's DDR3 the latencies are a lot lower than whats typical today
Nope, faggit, latencies are almost the same for DDR2 800, DDR3 1600, DDR4 3200 etc.

user, I know you are here for some validation for your purchase and to get rid of this buyers remorse, but you fucked up. You've been conned. You bought an out of warranty shitbox.

You could have easily bought a 1600 build BRAND NEW for around 500 euros that would demolish this for gaymin and be better at workstation shit too.

Next time, before you drop the hammer, consider visiting .

Jokes on you.
I bought this workstation half a year ago and can't be more happy about my purchase.
I just want to recommend this further. You can follow my advice or pay much more money for something a little better.
I prefer the highest bang for bucks ratio.

And you cant find something with better bang for bucks than a z420 with 32gb ecc quad channel memory, xeon e5 1650 6 core with single threaded performance near r7 1800X / i7 6700 and all that with Enterprise class quality for 500€

It's a meme, you dip.

...

>Look mommy, I did it again
>I recommend ram which is more than half the price of the whole build

No one recommended anything besides op who claimed that his choice was performing better.

That used RAM is cheaper than new one shouldn't even be worth mentioning, that much is obvious.

I'm not spoonfeeding you build advice, like I said, fuck off to if you want a better build.

Seriously user, it's a shit build and you got conned, nobody is going to take your "recommendation" seriously.

>Using brand-new DDR4 Pricing
>When user's Xeon uses DDR3
Srsly, do you fucking research before shitposting.

>a xeon e5 1650 and 32 gb ram
>shit build

damn son, thats good performance for the buck,
anything thats not i7 and rizen is "ancient" for these kids,
and btw Sup Forumspcbg is full of shills, i guess its true what they say Sup Forums stands for good goy

>cpu wth no OC
On an enterprise mbo yeah, but the E5-1x series actually has unlocked mulltipliers on OCable boards.

>>Xeon e5-1650 has single thread comparable to r7 1800x

...why the fuck would someone get a xeon to get a comparable single-thread performance to something?

What GPU are you gonna throw into that?
Something like a 1050ti would be nice.

i feel sorry for you
at least a bit

See
I am reusing my r9 290x

I came from nahelem. Intel did not deliver the last 9 years.
And I have to wait an additional 3 years minimum till there will be finally a new
Architecture and process node.
I don't want to buy 4 year old 14nm or 3 year old Skylake Architecture for the next 2-3 years. Fuck that

If I would not have any GPU and would have to buy one now either 1050 ti or 1060 3gb
