Marco Brian dislikes Chinese motherboards, so he won’t care about these Xeons as long as there are no competent Brand-Name cheap X79 boards in the used market.

@@JackBandicootsBunker It's just a joke man.

Yo it's the Taiwan motherboard guy!!

Imran M No. Some of these boards come from mainland China, particularly Shenzhen.

@@JackBandicootsBunker he's referring to Marco, the guy Brian met up with when he want to Taiwan

Hey nice seeing you here Timmy love your videos too

That's why you need to wear your glasses. I mean in that vide you haven't wear them, you looked like you were ready to beat someone. :)

TIMMY mah guy!!!

I'm actually seriously considering this. Logistically it's a bit easier to stick with something for a while, also easier for the brain to not jump back and forth 20 years LOL

The brand was gonna be named KILLERS but I don't know they fucked up the printing

If it was called "KILLSPREE" id order it immediately just to hand on my wall. Lol

Sounds more like a GPU name like "ASUS ROG Gaming KILLSPEE Edition"

avoid buying this motherboard it's the worst i bought one and wasted more than a week on dm with their official store, they are true scammers

My thought exactly when watching this

You can probably get away with a much cheaper CPU with basically no detriment for the use-case, i feel.

unless you are doing software parity raid (5 or 6; not 10 or 1) then the cores are wasted. Get something cheaper with fewer cores and less power usage and save money on your power bill. And really you shouldn't be doing raid 5 or 6 in 2019 which drive sizes being what they are.

I agree completely

Oh yea, the fx heatpipe coolers

Love the profile pic 👍🏻

@@lakeshorerides Cheers!

Is it worth spending all that money on ram and a new board for a few minutes of quicker transcoding time? That’s your answer.

Yea I think leaving it with 12 proper cores will do just fine with games.

@@philscomputerlab A lot of people here speaking about server/NAS. Would you also consider to build one by chance? That would be 🤩 great! Thanks for the good job from France 🥖🍷🐸😎.

haces renderizado de video? si fuera el caso, como te va?

Where i can find it ebay ?

Yea with such a high clock speed you're still doing well with modern games.

It will be useable for at least 7 more years. 15 years of CPU lifetime is possible today. A computer is now at the level of washing machines and refrigerators.

your running it on water?....tsk tsk tsk

PhilsComputerLab Yeah no complaints at all with this platform, not to mention it's running quad channel (16GB) 2133MHz CL9-10-10-25-1 with sub timings set to performance mode in my bios. I would really love to see more content on the X79 platform and even X99, keep up the good content :)

Kyle S Well a 240mm AIO but good enough for now

I have/had several 2680 v2s but was unable to get them to boost properly, they'd stubbornly stick to 3.2GHz max. What mbd are you using? I've tried the ASUS P9X79 WS, P9X79-E WS and the Gigabyte UD3.

Thankfully with the speediest ddr4 started to arrives in masse, those lower speed ddr4 getting price cut, still with same sum of money to buy 16gigs of ddr4, you can buy 32gigs of 1866 ddr3..

@@moccagringo2311 That's what I did for my XEON S2011 build and for the dual-socket mbd aswell, I bagged 96GB/1866 ECC RAM for a good price locally, actually cheaper than from Aliexpress. Not set them up though yet due to lack of time, have to leave it until mid-Sept. I have various XEONs to try: 2640 (they were really cheap), 2650 v2 and 2680 v2 (two of each for the dual-socket mbd).

There are few really good CPU's for this platform 1650 v2 being among the best. Definitely not worth switching to Ryzen unless you are going for 3rd gen 3700x at least. At the moment there are really good deals on Ryzen though. There are in fact even new unopened Ryzen cpus with fans for great prices on aliexpress, though personally I think that just getting a CPU and a cheap good aftermarket cooler is better. I'm more interested nowadays in the 2011-3 platform because there are a TON of really good CPU's there, but for the moment their prices are still too high. If the prices drop to what the prices are for the 2011 then Ryzen might not necessarily be the better option in terms of value/performance :) Still for people who are interested in x79, the E5 2689 is still among the best CPU's for price/performance and definitely worth it over Ryzen(if you don't have really good Ryzen prices locally).

Yea I now use the 1650V2 at 4 GHz as my main machine, also with 32GB 1866 and I do all my video editing on it.

Same for me. Running an E5-1660 on an ASROCK Extreme 3 at 4.2Ghz, on air. Temps idle around low 40's. At 100 percent burn test they rise to low 70's. In gaming they go to up to low 60's. Just picked up an ASUS P9X79Pro for EURO70 (local buy). Will re-purpose an E5-1650V2 from my daughter's machine (HuananZhi X79 deluxe) to my ASUS motherboard (replaced her's with an E5-4627V2, 8C/8T, 3.3 GHz base clock/Turbo 3.6 GHz, which I got at a great price US80+US14 shipping). On the fence if i should sell the E5-1660/Extreme3...or keep as a spare. These are terrific platforms for the money. DDR3 is dirt cheap and with X79 four channel, excellent performers. IMO. PS: I always put a fan blowing on the VRM's...for good measure. Fans are cheap...X79 motherboards...not so much.

Proxmox is more awesome.

I would leave the LGA775 platform and get something from the Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge era. There are many power efficient options and LGA1155 hardware is dirt cheap now (at least, in Europe it is).

if u have a motherboard like Asus or Gigabyte ,xeon E5xxx or x5xxx lga 771 platform would works for u , u have to update bios and add microcode , its cheap cpu's in aliexpress around 14 USD

I use a Celeron 450 (2.2Ghz), single core, single thread and very low power consumption. Can be massively overclocked if necessary. Any 400 series will be good enough for serving files.

Thanks guys for your suggestions :) @ @@NTSCuser​=> Single core ? Is it enough actually ? I didn't try to use a single core apart from retro PCs in a while, it could be interesting if it is low power and temperature

@@kami4542 It's enough for file serving, useless for anything like video playback though. I should have read your first post more carefully. I wouldn't recommend anything less than a quad core for general computing and that's going to use a lot more energy.

Done!

@@philscomputerlab Cool, very nice of you 😎 . MERCI BEAUCOUP ! (TYVM!).

You could upgrade to a 1680 v2

Best CPU for X79, hands down. Mine's clocked at 4.7GHz (all core), at 1.33v on the EVGA X79 DARK. When I have the time, I'm going to make it do 5GHz+. RAM speed is also not restricted like on the 2600 series.

@@mattsmechanicalssi5833 Most people sadly don't have such beast mobo's and use the Chinese, which for the most part allow 4.2Ghz without an issue and if you tinket you might get 4.3-4.5(though close to impossible to get 4.5GHz on those boards), BUT if you have such a motherboard... oh boy that CPU is a MONSTER.

@@xingbairong Either the EVGA's X79 DARK, Classified or the Asus Rampage IV Extreme are the only X79 boards that are built to achieve high clocks, and be stable. They are expensive, but they are also going to last, so the cost over time can work out to the same or less than buying lower tier products. My DARK is 6 years old, and had many CPU upgrades through the years.

Matt Christie I’m on a sabertooth x79, that should support the 1680v2 right?

@@MarshallSambell Yes it will. Your board supports the 1660-V2, and the 2687W-V2. The 1680-V2 is basically the 2687W-V2, but for single socket boards, and it's unlocked. The 1680-V2's were mostly used in MacPro's of that era, so you know they ran at stock or below specs. This is where I got mine from. (Link below) Came packaged very nicely. The CPU was super clean too. And they're the cheapest supplier, since I think they have a huge quantity of them, and seem to be Apple oriented. www.ebay.ca/itm/Intel-Xeon-E5-1680V2-SR1MJ-3-00-Ghz-8-Core-Processor/273838521336?hash=item3fc20c3bf8:g:CmUAAOSwtOZbgElW

I'm currently running an i7 870 with 16 gigs of ram

The CPU is locked, nothing to do with the mainboard!

GPU isn't used a lot because the CPU bottlenecks, CPU bottlenecks even if it's not used at all, and games do not use the CPU completely because they aren't optimized for a lot of cores and threads, they are optimized for high clock speed, so a CPU with only 4 cores and with a clock speed of 3,5 GHz, for example, will give better performance in those games

Too energy consuming for a server. This shit draws 300W for the whole system. Terrible idle and the system boards chipsets are hungry too.

@@llothar68 300W isn't terrible for what it is; and compared to paid professional hosting the cost per KWh on your bill is likely well under what you would pay monthly for your host.

@@chazbotic Payed professional hosting has good datacenters with connectivity. I doubt you have this at home and usually a 1 HE in a DC can't consume more then 100W and is about 30W in average for an idle system. The 2011 Socket was a very little improvements from the old Core2 systems.

@@llothar68 you're not understanding me, and using me as an example is a bad idea (400Mbit fiber connection at the home and a little DC of my own, as i work from home). a fully populated enclosure that hosts a large number of VMs is optimal for power use because of density. while a single server (say, an ML 350 or something) will pull 30-40W of energy on idle, the peak draw will generally be above this if you're using very cheap large storage disks and a couple SSDs on a cheap controller. the draw of 300W at peak, with a VM host with populated, running, VMs, is similar efficiency at scale for a home server environment where you're hosting stuff a home user would host (streaming services, private cloud, some game servers, SaaS stuff, et c). unless you're literally paying ridiculous money per KWh, the 300W peak draw is nothing on the bottom line of a power bill compared to the price of professional hosting where the customer is suborning the COGS for the DC as well as admin/overhead and a margin for the hosting company. there's no comparison other than scale. your comparison on the CPU has some merit depending on workloads, as a VM environment would be far better on a Xeon E5 than a Core 2 Quad. the advantage of the LGA 2011 CPUs is a roughly doubling of overall performance for most tasks compared to the Core 2's simply because they are a generation ahead. for a utilized machine, that's significant overhead. feel free to compare: www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/benchmarks/2019-xeon-scalable-benchmark.html points 6 and 7 for 2nd gen scalability.

Yea the parts are good fun indeed! The 2630V2 is a great value CPU, low power, enough cores and decent enough clock speed for most games, I think it's 2900 All-Core Turbo if I'm right.

@@philscomputerlab yes it's 2.9 turbo. I've not found anything yet that can't use all 12 threads. I need to try older software. It has supprised me how capable the CPU is. It's on aliexpress now for £22 and it's bench mark scores are a bit higher than my 7600k i5 with a 4.9ghz overclock!

Would be a good rendering pc, great performance for its power consumption.

I do believe the 1600 is the way to go! Maybe stretch to a 1700?

@@philscomputerlab Thank you phil

Let's hope it doesn't end up like the Soviet Union

Used 1600 has better performance

There was a time you could get the 1600 for maybe USD 70? But yea, prices have gone up...

This sentence doesn't appear to make sense. The cooler is an AMD AM2-AM4 standard socket cooler, it mounts to the tabs on the socket with a spring clip. It also has an Intel adapter included, so you can mount this cooler on an Intel board.

It should work great for that, as video encoding can take advantage of all the cores!

It's not. This platform is ddr3

Not a matter of opinion, you shouldn't really get more performance out of an E5-1620 than out of i7-3770, but they'll hit remarkably close to each other. There's a 2667V2 but it's well outside your price range. The 2689 seems like the best for the price but it will be a mixed bag again, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, with an overall tendency to be faster. What problem are you trying to solve exactly though? Is there a specific game or a set of games which don't deliver satisfactory performance? You need to look at their individual performance traits and see what exactly it is they want. And i mean it's an old platform, have to limit your expectations.

They made great X79 motherboards. Still using my P9X79-WS with 64GB of RAM and an i7-3930K at a modest 4.2GHz for server stability and decent gaming. It's on pretty much 24/7. The thing is a beast. :)

@@WR3ND That's pretty good. I have 8 gigs in mine currently, but I mainly use it for gaming. I have mine at 4.3 GHz. I want to get better paste before I do any large overclocking.

Here's a glory shot of it I took a while back → i.imgur.com/xDfMdBG.jpg Enjoy your rig.

Oh, and if you're using Nvidia cards, you can force enable PCIe Gen. 3 from them for the 3930K using the Nvidia patch, if you didn't already know about that. I've had no issues with it on the Asus board, which seems to use good traces. Cheers.

@@WR3ND I have a RX 470 but I will keep that in mind when I upgrade. Thanks

I don't know much about this topic, so not sure!

Yea just get an AM3+ board, I actually had a video ready to go with FX-6300, but then I discovered the cheap Xeon and Ryzen stuff. So I'll have to redo that video as the conclusion will be totally different.

@@philscomputerlab hrs not sold on the fx. Their not as fast as the Intel equiv age but for some weird reason their more £

I'm not sure how to test this...

It’s basically if the cpu reduces frequency and voltages back while idle
