Building the Worlds Fastest Windows XP PC! The Overcompensater
Рет қаралды 140,928
Күн бұрынIn this video I built the fastest (officially supported) Windows XP PC! And it turned out great and has been so much fun to play with.
I know that this is not the fastest ever Windows XP machine, If I wanted to do that I could of gone x99 and get stuff to work but I wanted to keep it all officially supported hardware. So for the sake of the video, I'm going to call this build the fastest.
LOL, I just realised that I misspelled the GTX Titan and said "Titian". Need to stop pulling overnighters working on these videos.

I'm glad you qualified this by saying only "officially supported" hardware, and that you want all the extra cores to try video rendering... Because you could manage to squeeze a tiny bit extra performance in gaming specifically, with a Haswell CPU and Maxwell GPU. But they require some very minor text edit hackery to get unsupported drivers working. My ultimate XP rig has a Z87 mobo, a Pentium G3258 Anniversary (unlocked), and a Titan X (Maxwell). Since most XP games can't even use more than two threads, you get better results with two extremely fast cores, for less overhead. An i7 4790K with hyperthreading disabled, and two cores disabled, would give slightly better results... but they still cost ten times as much as a G3258. And a Broadwell based i7 5775C would theoretically give the best results with it's L4 cache, but they require a rare Z97 mobo. And chipset drivers would likely require even more hacking.

Save your money when it comes to 4 way sli on xp, there are no drivers that are available for XP with 4 way sli (Apart from the 7000 series dual GPU's such as the 7950gx2) This is due to the triple frame buffer limit in DX9

Love the X79 and X99 era of hardware. I actually have a Titan Black I don't use and it has a Raijintek Morpheus heatsink swap on it. Sometimes when using an old board that doesn't boot, I noticed the first thing I do is put in a brand new coin battery. Surprisingly, that can make it not boot properly. But man, trouble shooting used parts is definitely a pain and part of the fun of these older builds. On one board I noticed there was one slightly bent pin and that was enough for the CPU not to post. On another finding out a RAM slot doesn't work was also torturous fun. Haha. My favorite X79 board is the ASROCK Extreme11. I was using it with a Xeon E5-1680V2 multiplier overclocked.

you could have put a 4960x on that motherboard and overclocked it to 4.4ghz, i used to work for a company that used a custom version of that motherboard basically same board but had IPMI built-in, and that board was SOLID and could handle bringing the CPU to 4.4GHZ all cores, and theoretically you could even get a bit more from the 3960x, we used to OC it to 4.5GHZ IIRC. obviously you needed serious cooling, but in 2015 we had that mounted in RACKMOUNT chassis and running a custom closed loop AIO. we unfortunately had to turn OFF HT, but let me tell you, if you needed single core performance, we had a OC profile that would get the i7-3960x to 4.8GHZ on 2 cores and on 2133mhz ram

You should look into unlocking the turbo boost, not sure about the difference in-game but it will help a lot in multi-threaded scenarios. Also, if you plan into using the machine long term you'll need a way to TRIM that SSD.

Also FarCry 2 is renowned for having problems running so that was a surprise that you choice that as the first test. Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider supports SLi even at the DX12 level not sure if they would run on windows Xp though, looks a bit tight to 4 cards in there, looks like you might only be able to fit 3 unless you somehow turn the cards into single slot stead of double slot cards.

For ultimate performance on the X79 platform, you'll want to go with the Xeon E5-1680V2. It's only got 8 cores, *but* an unlocked multiplier and they have widely been reported to be binned really well, meaning that they should overclock really well. I have two of them, one running on the exact board you have, and they both do 4.5 GHz, which makes them considerably faster than the 12-core. The CPU is actually kinda interesting, since as far as I can tell it was never officially sold to consumers, and the only computer that ever had them seems to be the trashcan Mac Pros. Still, there's plenty of them on eBay.
