X58 brings back great memories, but I moved on to X99 and a 2678V3, as I do compile a lot from source and the extra cores and instructions are a great help. One major topic which my brother brought me to attention (as he wanted to pair a 5700XT with his old Phenom II) is, that modern graphic cards usually don't support legacy BIOS in their VBIOS and you would need some workarounds (as Phil showed in one of his recent videos) to get them to boot to Windows at all.

amazing topic. I few years ago i run some tests using EVGA's SR2 dual X5675s paired with a 1080ti. My results showed that compared to top money CPUs at the time, the X5675 only was behind in games where the 1080ti can deliver more than 120FPS. Apparently in 2020 the gap got larger, but mostly relevant for owners of 120Hz displays.

Yo, i'm using an SR-2 right now with dual X5675's at 4.2ghz, with a 1080Ti as well. And yeah, 120fps seems to be the limit in most games, alltho in some ive gotten to around the 150-160 mark. (this is on high settings btw, and 1440p) What would u recon is the best gpu i can pair with it? I was thinking about getting a 3060Ti / 3070 for it.

I have to say im very happy with the price-performance relation that this cpu can give. Only got like a month with it. Asus late owner sold me his mobo with original cpu and he says that he never used O.C. with it. The first reason of why i decided to build this pc: Astoundingly cheap!! PS: I´ll change the cpu fan for a cheap AIO this or the next week, so i hope to leave it to 4 Ghz and see how it behaves. So i have to say: thanks for the good quality content.

Great information Bryan. I run a Xeon 1650V2 platform clocked at 4.2Ghz with 32GB 1866 reg ECC3 quad channel memory. Last week I took the jump to upgrade my GPU to a GTX1080Ti. The 1080Ti can be bought these days (in the US) for around $350 and it's performance seems to be the sweet spot for the Ivy Bridge-EP generation. I game at 1440p and FS2020 runs on high at 45FPS and Destiny2 books along at 118FPS. My biggest issue is keeping the GPU temps under control in the original Z420 chassis. 3d printed ducts and more chassis fan seem to be the way. Very interesting info about PCIx performance. Also something I didn't realize, SATA3 is only relevant for SSD. Regular HD performance is virtually the same between SATA2 and SATA3.

Before building my new Ryzen 5600x based rig. I used an old HP Z420 workstation I got for free out of an electronics recycling bin. It is a Xeon E-5 1660(first version), a 6c/12t cpu clocked at 3.3ghz, with 64GB of DDR3 ECC Memory(got free ram sticks and maxed it). It still runs perfectly and keep it in storage, you never know if it can come in handy. I am curious how my RTX3060Ti would work in that old thing....my guess pretty well considering what I saw in this video with a much older xeon. Thanks for doing something like this, a lot of us appreciate tinkering with older hardware.

we need a new X58 vid in 2024

I switched from the x5675 about a month ago to the R7 2700x and I can honestly say, while it did run a little hot occasionally when oc’d, it served me well and it’s definitely an excellent cpu for budget gamers

I agree.I have dual xeon L5640 cpu's with 32 gb ram.Only os that i could install was 2008.Yes it will work with other os but there's no driver support.Problem with this motherboard is it only boost to 2.53ghz where it should boost to 2.8 and second thing it can only run my memory at 1333mhz not on the rated 1600.

*great tip about the meltdown safeties. I'll have to check that out and see if it makes a noticeable difference.* Observation: the bigger cards still benefited vs the cheaper. You just called out when the price per system performance starts to have diminishing returns. Even with a modern system, a 2080 vs a 3080 is a substantial diminished return vs price. If you were taking an old x58 system and upgrading, every little bit helps, and a 3000 series card was averaging higher and still getting a slightly higher min. If that game you are playing is pushing going too low fps, the 3000 series will help keep 5-10 more fps vs the 2000 series. That could be the difference between good enough for a couple more years and forced to upgrade. As for myself, I am luck and bought an Asus rampage 3 extreme way back when, so I have usb 3, and upgraded to a xeon 6core running oc to 4.3gz. Most games are GPU limited (gtx 970) and still in 2022 most run a solid medium settings at 1080, unless poorly optimized. I know a lot of people too poor to afford what I have, and I also know quite a few with newer systems that struggle to keep up once I'm booted up. I'm certainly not limited on playing games, but It is a limitation on full immersion experience. Finally prices have come down, so a 3060 will go in this week. I would have gone for that modern AM5 4.6-4.7ghz 8 core system build (finally enough of an upgrade to be worth it), but I'm probably moving, so saving money toward that instead.

this would be more nice if there's 2678v3 in the benchmarks too :3

Rocking a X5660 @4.2GHz for the last 2years + my original Gig ex58-udr3. All thanks to this channel. Retired the original i7 920 for the Xeon and no regrets. I'd like to get a RX6800 but will they work with x58 boards? If not might need to get a 3070.

Wow, this really goes to show how much of a hit raytracing brings. I get the same 1080p fps for shadow of the tomb raider on my 1680v2 @3.9ghz with a 1070ti on ultra settings + smaa

Still rocking my EVGA X58 with my I7-930 as my NAS. I've been lookng at getting a X5675 cpu, but bemoaning the fact that it could impact my power bills a bit too much (my 930 is a 130w cpu... So i'm actually looking at a lower power cpu like a Xeon L5645 to do some NAS and virtualization duty. I've already put in a USB 3.0 PCIe card and i'm looking at getting a SATA 3.0 controller card for some raid.

@ 6;36 I absolutely, I agree. Both when new & 10+ yrs later. More so, I'd consider their plain but quality WS (Workstation) Series. The ROG were amazing new, but often had too many runs if on the used market. Not always, but often of sold off , the've been used & abused. Most WS lived a nice daily driver life & have most the OC settings you may want.
