- X58 Xeon Club -



X58 users unite! The X58 has been shadowed for some time now, but the platform is still viable. I thought I'd make this topic for X58 users who are running Xeons. That means ANY Xeon, not just Hexa-cores. With so many people upgrading to Xeons I felt that this would be a fine time to post this topic. Feel free to post pictures of your X58 builds, benchmarks and specs. This is your time to brag.

You're welcome and thank for the kind words man, but NOT APPROVED!

LOL I'm just joking man. I just wanted to use the rejected pic at least one. I don't think I'll be using that a lot.

@ notyettoday

Just post the link whenever you get a chance.

Nah I don't mess with PLL that much. It will cause some degrading for sure. High PLL voltage settings kills CPUs much quicker. 1.80v PLL is the default voltage. I left my settings on AUTO. 4.8Ghz is a nice speed. I understand it's not for 24/7. I actually hit 5.4Ghz and booted into Windows. I restarted my PC because I just didn't like the amount of voltages going through my CPU. You should be careful because I have been reading about CPUs losing their overclocks due to degradation. In other words your stable safe OC's become unstable and you have to run your PC with either more voltage or lower core speeds.

Shows my progression to 4.6ghz running at 4.56 now

dude! 1.646v? wow! I do not care all that much if I fry my chip, but that is some high voltz for the hexa core! I seen one of your other pics showing 1.31v @ 4.4ghz from what I have been reading on the 980~990x and X56** chips the max safe core voltage for 24/7 is 1.45~1.5v depending of course on heat which I have to admit looks like you have noooo problem there! I am on a glorified air cooler the H100i so can't get maxing my chip out with out seeing temps climbing into the 88c range which is my un-confort zone lol, I know the max is 96c or 97c and not the 100c that most are at, so pushing past 80c my balls start to crawl up lol. But if I pushed to 1.646v I bet my CPU/Hexa Furnace would pop! lol

The validation link should contain your OCN username, but I remember your PC name when I helped you work with it.

The x5660 are down some too. 165 I think one just expired was at 150 and not one bid.
That's really good for X58 users then. I paid around $200-$220 for my X5660. I can't remember the exact price, but it's the best $200 I've spent on my PC in awhile. Hopefully the prices continue to drop for those who might want to switch to a hexa core instead of upgrading to a different platform.

That is very nice... I paid $110 for mine I think... however the guy sent me a "defective" on the first time and realized it sending me the "correct" one. It worked out because I got two x5650's for the price of one!

The "Defective" one can only use two memory channels though. It sees the triple channels and runs in triple channel but does not use the third. Not really any difference in benches between the two. Crazy.

I'll be joining this club soon enough.

Nice, $55 each!

You could sell the good one and keep the defective one for yourself. You basically made money by "buying" them.
