Intel Xeon 5600 Secures, Speeds Cloud Computing

Hey, was thinking picking up a SR2 and dropping in a pair of E5620 or 30's.

Can anyone say yet if i would be good for 4ghz OC and near 100% scale?

Movieman has gotten them to > 4GHz stable with non-insane voltage.

Hi

the Xeon E5630 a x20 or x21 Multi (without turbo)?

thanks ;)

ever done the math of 2.53/133 :confused:

:rofl:

the E5630 with the turbo, it's 2.8GHz (21*133) but the multi max, without turbo is x20 or x21?
(on a i7 920 with the turbo it's 2.93GhZ but multi max is x21, not x22 :rolleyes:)

so you finally found the way for information but you forget to read?

bus/core ratio = 19 on the intel page

Nope. :p:

C'mon guys.. Play nice huh.
As to getting 4GHz, anything that has a multi under 20 will be tough.
Remember, this is a dualie and there are limits you don't see on a single.
200 BCLK is doable but it's at the top end.
220 which many single boards do easily is the absolute top end on the SR2.
I'd want at least a 22 multi for 4GHz for everyday 24/7 settings.
With X5680's(25 multi) I can run at 4200 for 24/7 100% load(1.35vcore,1.325VTT) and maxxed at 4603 for a screenshot with 1.4125vcore,1.35VTT
That's the max I was willing to put into the chips.
They are VERY expensive..:D

I saw a post on another forum (http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/...nm-friend.html) about overclocking an e5630. I think I recall that person saying he had to get a custom Bios from EVGA to run the cpu? Maybe a bios has been released since then that supports these Xeon e5600's, also Gigabyte boards seem to run the x5600's OK so they should run the e5600's no problems.

Anyways, for the money and Vcore (average, nothing special) it took for 4.2GHz in that post i'd just look at getting an i7-930. *edit, in less your set on an SR-2 in which case this would be OK, just don't expect record setting clocks (3.8 - 4.0 should be reasonable.)

A long story but EVGA boards need a simple mod to run dual QPI chips.
Gidabyte and Asus run them with no mods.
My error above,I saw E5630 and assumed he wanted to run in a SR2 board..
I have seen E5640's taken to 4GHz in a SR2..
For bang for the buck for air cooling I'd recomend X5650 or X5660's for the SR2..The X5670's, X5680's and coming X5690's are just overkill for air cooled SR2's..You just can't max them on air so why spend the additional money.

Xeon DP belongs home on a SR-2, and 2 of them will become a monster with brute force, but it will become a waste on any other MB. A 980x would be much better option for single socket.

As MM has said correctly, the current BIOS can handle a max ~BCLK200 on SR-2. This may change when they fix the current bugs of the early BIOSes, but until then you would need a higher multi to run @4GHz+ for 24/7.

Hi

I'm testing a Xeon E5640 on Asus Rampage III Extreme, 4.2GHz at 1.28v without problems (not tested under Vcore) and 1600MhZ for memory

but impossible to mount the memory over 1600MHZ, it not boot
I tried several settings (all parameters in AUTO and ram at 2000MHz, XMP profile, from 3000 to 4000 for the uncor) but it will not boot
it gets stuck at boot (before the bios)

is that the bios of the Asus is not 100% for the Xeon?

thanks ;)

damnit! dude stop necroing old news stories!

An Intel Xeon Quad Core E5606 (32nm) 201€ instead an Intel Core™ i7-950 Processor 243€ would be a good deal.

Has Somebody OCed an E5606 or an E5607?. Best non server mobos that support it?

Thanks in advance. :rolleyes:

I wanna say an Asus P6T would support them. You'll find more information if you check on other 2P server chip compatibility. Some 2P LGA1366 boards support a regular Core i7 (but you can only run a single processor; you need 2 Xeon 5000's for 2P mode) and some 1P LGA1366 boards support a 2P Xeon.

And dude, necroing much?

Should I open a new thread? or the title of this thread fits with my question. :confused:

The Intel sub-forum exists for a reason.

Thanks, sorry for the inconveniences. :yawn:
