crazy

Got mine for 24 bucks off Ebay - still a good performing CPU for gaming and video editing, coupled with 64gb of RAM.

Hi!! Whats the performance without hyper threading? Does 12 core perform better for gaming?

would personally get an 8 or a 10 core with a higher clock if you care about gaming.@@040687P

@@040687P I'd buy a Xeon 2667 v2 for gaming for that platform.

Wasn't very long ago bud.

ImportNation You got that right ,i hate those kind of comments.

Back in my day the computer was the bios... jk im 14 XD

this guy must be at least 90

Back in my day I would use AOL for emails. (I'm 15 shows how fast technology advances)

You now have 2 right?

skunki he has 2 of the 6 core xeons. They'd probably beat this thing.

I know right

***** The 6 core xeons have more ghz. More ghz per core = better for gaming.

***** *More ghz per core = better for EVERYTHING

You love PCs. admit it. xD

***** Oh you better believe it, I do love them. They are probably one of my favorite things ever!

ProtoMario I've assumed so. Continue with your passion. Its just that its like every other comment is about computers.

You can swear on the internet...

Dtroll MC then he wouldn't be family-friendly. he only swears on his rant videos, where he labels them "explicit"

Hasn't the E5-2697 v2 got a Max Turbo Frequency of 3.50GHz? Am planning on buying one but if it can't manage over 3GHz per core then I might go for something with less cores and more frequency.

@@mabeSc That's not all-core turbo. You will get up to 3.5GHz on one or two cores... depending on the load. The all-core sustained turbo is what matters and that seems to be about 3.1 GHz when you are gaming (for example).

@@mabeSc I have one, and I can tell you this: All core turbo is 3.0GHz, and these xeon's tend to be decently overclockable. I ran one for like half a year at 115.5BCLK (ty Rampage IV Extreme) at stock voltage and it handled it no problem. I even ran prime95 small FFTs for a full day without issues. It's a good little chip, and also only €100 on Aliexpress right now

@@mbwh1582 Thank you for the info and also the guy up! I was very interested in BCLK overclocking of this CPU and I did understand all of this Turbo frequencies on such high-core count CPUs. Just got back into PCs after over 2 year of complete lack of interest. Upgraded my PC as well. Got a damn nice bargain for a GTX 980Ti , extra 8GB of RAM and a new CPU (i5 6500 - £38 for the CPU). Just planning on getting these Xeons mostly out of my curiosity regarding their ability to OC and also as a way to futureproof my PC (well I know , Ryzen). But still a nice Xeon V4 could still be worth it assuming I get it for a nice price. Now , regarding V4s , do you know if there are good motherboards out there for it? Something that might allow for BCLK OCing? I know many new motherboards stopped supporting BCLK with newer BIOS updates , is there a way to flash a modified BIOS to allow for OCing? Also regarding coolers , is it easy to find them around or should I just get one from Aliexpress alongside with the CPU?

@@mabeSc From what I've seen x99 Haswell Xeon's don't like much ore than 105 MHz BCLK, while Broadwell Xeon's tend to top out in the 103 to 104 MHz BCLK range. On my x79 boards, I run the latest bioses (x79 Deluxe and Rampage IV Extreme) with no issues. Both do well over 110 MHz BCLK without dropping devices. Currently this is my best properly stable config incl. CPU-Z Benchmark numbers: valid.x86.fr/1qsdxw

Nvidia shall rule all >:) Seriously though, they've made more CPU advances in the past year than Intel has in the past 5 -.-

AbuBakr Akram Yeah right. Intel pushed Tri-Gate transistors. Intel pretty much does all the R&D that other chip manufacturers benefit from. Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, etc. Intel is soon gonna push SiliconGermanium (SiGe) as a building material for transistors in order to get beyond 14nm. And that's a big deal. Intel has always been the leader in these things. It just so happens that GPUs have higher rates of performance increases from generation to generation compared to CPUs. This doesn't mean that Intel are just sitting on their lazy asses, it's quite the opposite actually. CPUs have reached that mature level where it's really hard to increase performance without going beyond silicon. GPUs have not reached maturity, hence their high performance increases generation to generation. GPU technology right now is where CPUs were 15 years ago, meaning GPUs can vastly improve on current building materials trough architectural optimizations. CPU's however cannot.

fifthgear93 They sucked monkey balls in the Pentium III an 4 era though. The Athlon and Athlon 64 were legendary. Thanks to Intel paying OEMs to solely sell Intel hardware, they increased their R&D budget by such a large margin that it's impossible for any other company to touch their technology. As soon as they will gain a monopoly position, the US government will take them down a notch, just like they did with Microsoft back in the late 90's, probably.

Said the intel fanboy

you know that AMD manufacturers every chip in every new gen console? That's gonna keep them alive for the next 5 years ar least. When AMD goes down, Nvidia remains the only manufacturer of dedicated graphics cards, so they're going to be closed by the US' cartel office. But I'm not sure about Intel in that case.

I'm here in 2024 getting ready to buy 4 of these for my two HP Servers for my HL

been looking at upgrading my home server to run 2 of these. would you say its worth? (for just about $100)

@@imbreydan For sure worth it! Mine has been unstoppable.

it's instead $2500

Where can you get this CPU for 2300?

No shit

I wouldn't, since I don't have anything that could take advantage of that many cores.

Yemto all the cool guys doing it

Yeah. Shame he didn't make an UNBOX video of him

h34dsh0tgaming lol xd @_@.he should us all his new born baby one or two weeks later & we are happy with that

Its almost twice the price as my pc.

***** 5 times the cost of mine...

Yeah but the majority of people don't need a 12 cores processor ;) I'm using an intel 6 cores for gaming and it's already overkill ...

4 cores is over kill on a lot of games still but anyone building a new pc would be crazy not to use a quad core. I really think the best bang for buck is the 8350. It runs neck and neck with the 3570K gaming and is 50 to 70 bucks cheaper depending on the day. If I didn't have to budget AMD wouldn't even be on my radar.

Colin Odom Yeah, I totally agree, amd has a better price/performance ratio, that's why I went for amd for my gfx card :)

I got mine from Bargain Hardware.

Yeah that is understandable, but with the Titan I think it can be used for gaming also.

Titan and Titan Black are gaming cards. Nobody who needs the performance, drivers and stability of Quadro/Firepro cards even considers consumer cards.

ilov3mus1cx3 Isn't the Titan series based on Quadro or similar workstation type thingies?

Vebjørn Sandvik It's based on Workstation class hardware but also has the architechture of a GTX card, so basically you can play video games on it very nicely AND render 3d items nicely too

RisseK1 You don't NEED, but a Quadro or Firepro card would be a hell of a lot better than a GTX or R9 series card

5 threads? 2 * 2 =/= 5?

2 core/5 threads.. what Celeron is that?

2 cores and 5 threads? how? xD probably a typo but still funny

martijn mol Maybe he has a 3 thread cpu and a 2 thread one. Joke. xD That IS funny though : 2.5 thread per core average.

I still only have a C2D with 2 Cores and 2 Threads.

It's an intel, you need only a 1cm² solar panel

Nah Fredrick. Enough solar energy touches the earths surface each day to power the planet for more than a hundred years. And btw being closer to the sun won't increase the amount of energy captured in that 1cm -.-

AbuBakr Akram Boom! You just exploded his brain.

Fredrik Pohl True. I forgot :P That's why it's safe to look at the sun while it's setting, because the light has to go through so much of the atmosphere that it reduces in intensity :P

The Libyans!

zach miller Ikr. -.-

+zach miller its done but it turned out to have been a bad idea

Yes I even have a video about it. Just a joke. Can't believe the number of comments spazzing about this.

ok man, wow, guess i am just pissed about this Ferguson Bullshit

LinusTechTips Cuz they HaTe.

his name wasn't Ferguson, it was Michael Brown, and no, no one deserves to die, i hope by your comment you weren't trying to be racist, there is a special place in hell reserved for racists. And there are 2 sides of every story, like the side where witnesses say Michael Brown was trying to get away from the cops car and the cop was holding him there and then shot him.

Hihellobyeoh Everyone deserves to die. If you didn't die then you'd be a vampire. Vampires are fucking bad... Everyone deserves to die.

to be fair... if you watch the video you would realize not really. its workstation not gaming. also lots of money. ltt forums

Anything is better than AMD CPUs. :P

Josh Bell I tried intel voor a year And i tried amd With gaming AMD is better/cheaper than Intel Why buy a 500 dollar intel cpu If a 150 dollar amd cpu delivers the same performance if you just overclock it? AFTW

are you kidding?

Actually AMD processors give you better Price/Performance than Intel. The i7 4770K performs 1% faster than the FX 8350. The i7 4770K costs 56% more than the FX 8350

LOSTUK incorrect. The 4770k is a far more powerful processor however it all depends on how well the chip scales. In raw performance, a 4670 beats the living crap out of an 8350, a 4770 is just miles beyond that. In gaming however, its mostly how quickly the chips can handle small bits of data to and from the GPU. This is where AMD wins out by a small margin.

About 60C load

LinusTechTips Thanks !

***** LOL u got answered thats nice XD

Minecast Zyad48 yea i know xD Linus is cool

The Hyper 212 Evo is way cheaper than both of those watercoolers. I personally own the H110 and I'm very happy with it. But if you want you can get the H60/H80 aswell. Got the H60 in my 2nd PC and were able to oc my i5 2500k to 4.6GHz with max temps of 70°C on full load.

***** Yeah, I currently have the 212 but the temps are about 35-40C on idle, and about 50-55C on load. Ran Prime95 and the temperature went up to 100C... I'm just wondering if the H110 or any other complete water cooler would be more effective in cooling and more quiet.

NZXT Kraken X61 or CM Nepton 280L those are the best AIO for now.

JMM I went from a hyper 212 evo to a custom watercooling build and I could increase my OC from 4.4ghz to 4.8ghz (took 1.37 volts and the temps reached 90 for a couple of seconds) I have it on 4.6ghz now with the OCCT stress test reaching 70 degrees max with idles around 22 with an ambient temp of 19-20. (all degrees are in celsius). I have 1100RPM fans and a dc-lt pump (pump is running at 6 volts) and I don't hear a thing (other than my non-WC gpu).

AIO coolers are gimmicks, they are only slightly better at cooling than good air coolers (Dark Rock Pro, NH-D15, for example) but they are louder and prone to failures.

.......... 1024mb is just what the mathmatical equation for a megabyte states, but officially it is 1000mb per 1 gb

cain stokes You're thinking of bits, probably hence your lower case b's.

A 1GB is 1000MB. However, 1GiB is 1024MB.

Kent Townsing You seem to be right, however i am reading a lot about Whether or not it is virtual storage or disk storage that 1024MB transfers to 1GB

It seems that in terms of RAM 1024MB does in fact equal 1GB. I stand correct.

these things are $300 now.

And now Ryzen with 12 cores on a consumer socket. Would have blown 2014 Linus' mind

EPYC cpu? Anybody?

Advertising. He gets free stuff in exchange of advertising. It's the company's payment to Linus for advertising them.

but how ?

SuperDubs11 it is not free, he paid for most of it but like the other guy said, he gets heavily discounted or free hardware in exchange for advertisements running on his videos.

I wanna learn how to get with company's and ad for them tho

SuperDubs11 Get a million youtube subscribers

$100

Sure, but not on Oculus Rift. You need more cores for that.

Karel Javůrek Yea i heard you need 48 Cores, 96 Threads

Seriously? Dude...you suck...

i got a pentium so

why are you so mainstream

I got a bag of potatoes

Giggity Goebbels You mean consoles?

best youtube name ever ^

@@referenccc and that was the point. Xeon CPU are very cheap on the chinese second hand electronics market right now due to the specter and meltdown. Safe to say that this made made those chips cheaper

You should be happy... I only have 2 unlockable to 4, but my cooling doesn't allow me to do it. :[

Mihai ▲ ẞlvck Like coolers cost all that much... Evo 212 for like 40 USD...

I live in Romania, which kinda sucks, so... Prices are higher, salaries are lower and that's why it's a SHIT country. Might have to move to England in a few years. Really pumped for that.

It's beautiful there but I can see why it is how you describe it. Would love to tour there if I ever get the chance. I have a 212 Evo going up for sell as soon as I can afford the Seidon 240M. I wanna get 20 bucks for it.

Future proofing!!

LeboPrince47 no such thing in the technology industry

hahahaha! not really bro my pc will last me a century!

then clearly u haven't learnt a thing yet ;p

I meant for the task at hand.

ExplodeintheTNT It's a 6GB card and can be used for both gaming and work. Editing is heavier than gaming.

Sigma yea but not by much, and you could litterally put a AMD Radeon 6570 HD card, yea it'll be faster with a titan because of the bigger amount of VRAM

ExplodeintheTNT A titan is not even a gaming card. It was made more for video editing simply because you cant use the full amount of vram while gaming. Not unless you go beyond 4k which 1 single titan won't handle. Ofcourse people with a lot of money get it because it is the single most powerful gpu but you can get much better performance/$ by simply going 980 SLI or such.

VaipoGaming it was still extremely good for gaming...

ExplodeintheTNT Indeed it is but if getting it for gaming, you'd be wasting money because its too expensive for the performance you get
