@Greg Salazar, the issue with the build is that the x58 chipset only supports a total of 24GB of memory, in 6x 4GB sticks maximum. The system is getting hung up on the memory issue. If you swap the current kit for a set of 4GB DIMMs you will be fine. I hope this helps. As always great content.

I have a Asus P6T mobo with 48GB of ram installed on it, and it runs with no problems whatsoever. Multiple sources say that even 96GB of ram is even possible if you use a Xeon CPU.

@nathan_tasker 5 ай бұрын

Good point, but he is using a consumer grade i7. With possible BIOS hacks it may work, but given it was never used, it would default to the 24GB maximum. If you Google the motherboard it states 24GB maximum memory.

x58 is a lot harder to stabilize with 6 dimms too. I tried 3x4 and 3x2 but it kept not seeing 2 of the dimms for some reason. Not sure if its the x5650 having issues cause I haven't tried any of my other x58 chips with the 18gb configuration yet. I have read though that running 6 dimms is difficult to stabilize if overclocking.@@nathan_tasker

Just a note here, the ASUS X58 Sabertooth board does have USB 3.0 on the rear, but no front panel USB 3.0. This was the first generation to have USB 3.0. Love to see old hardware being used like this though, I have a lot of nostalgia for X58, the Xeons were excellent for this platform in the later years. Just a shame you weren't able to get it working, I wish you luck with figuring it out.

@@richardfarmer6570 You have a good point there, I've seen a few like that with the passthrough cables, I got into using X58 for systems when the Xeons got cheap, so the solution was either leave USB 3.0 unplugged or use a PCIe card.

@profosist 5 ай бұрын

It does have rear USB 3.0 as the standard for the header had not yet been invented. Cases of the era all had rear passthrough, many doing it very hackily using the watercooling tube ports that were still common but not often used. fun fact it has the original NEC chip which was dead reliable. that was later sold to asmedia which AMD later partnered with to design and make their chipsets.

Motherboard probably needs a bios update to support all of that ram, since its likely running an early bios. Most people at that time were using 12gb, even 24gb was kind of rare and overkill. I would try for a post using 4gb dimms and go from there

motherboard and ram, X58 6 slot boards only had support for 24GB MAX, it can only a 4GB Stick per DIMM slot 4x6= 24 Max, Greg's configuration is a six 8GB sticks of DDR3 it should totally work it's just the chipset for x58 on 6 slot motherboard's, because the Mac pro 4,1 5,1 used LGA 1366 cpu's running on the X58 chipset with configurations for 8 and 4 DIMM slots that can hold up to hold 196GB of ram, those DDR3 slot's could handle up to 16GB of RDIMM memory, so greg if your eading this you should get six 4 GIG sticks of corsair or any brand with 1600Mhz or higher used market is the best.

man this takes me back. I was a freshman in college looking up old linus vids back in the day to build my first pc. I had an i7860 which was on the other platform(lga1156) i think since the i7920/930 or whatever was different. . That paired with the gtx 470 that came out that year, my pc was near top tier back in summer 2010 then. I also remember the huge debacle with hyperthreading back then and how everyone was laughing at "fake cores" or whatever. Those cpus lasted a very very long time and i still stand by my statement from over a decade ago that you were trolling to not get a quad core with hyperthreading. That specific cpu greg has retailed at $1000 buck during release, i specifically remembered that and was going hell nah. That and my other favorite memory lane event was the following year gpu wise when the gtx 465 came out and everyone was trying to flash them into 470s, man what a time that was

x58 was an AWESOME platform! I used an x5675 and a GTX 1080 until just a couple of years ago. I think I bought the whole system used for $150 back in 2016ish. Had quad SLI 9500 GTs! Served me well. I think the compatibility with the 6 core xeons and the triple channel memory really helped extend the life of these systems.

That processor brings me way back. It was in the first PC I built for myself. I used it with an Asus P6T MB, 24GB of RAM. and a Radeon HD 5970. So much nostalgia even if the GPU wasn't period-accurate. I really hope you can get it up and running. But since debug LEDs weren't a thing back then it could be a serious pain in the ass. I remember getting so frustrated I ended up buying a debug board that plugged into the TPM header that would allow you to debug the post issues. I was so happy when they started adding debug LEDs and the the segmented displays with post codes.

Former user here with a lot of troubleshooting done on an X58 (Gigabyte G1-Guerilla) Double check the RAM and be sure it's fully seated. Remove all the memory and go one by one installing-checking-installing next. Mine had to have slot 1 populated regardless of how you wanted to configure the RAM so you could have slot 1 populated but if the module was not well seated the PC would not POST even if you had more modules installed. And from my X55 MB. It had USB3, SATA3 and PCI Express16x. It just couldn't have all 3 at the same time. So if you feel the graphics is running a little slow, check if it's running at 8x instead of 16x. I enjoy your videos so keep it up!

I've done some old PC hardware in newer cases and I found out it's good to have several extensions or adapters handy. For example, there are USB 3 extensions that are flexible and look much cleaner than the big 'ol plug that always comes with the cases. Makes the build look cleaner in terms of cable management. In this situation, where the front panel header doesn't match the case plug, there are front panel extensions that have the plug at one end and separated pins at the other like in most cases. These adapters and extensions are cheap and normally found at amazon in packs of 2 or 3.

One time back in 2010, Fry's Electronics had the i7-980x on sale for something like $700. I had a gift card so I decided to buy one of these but Fry's was out of stock. I even went there on Friday, mid-day, before the weekend rush. About three years ago I found the i7-980x, Rampage III Extreme, and 12GB of the OCZ Heatreaper RAM combo on Offerup for around $130. It had been sitting around for over 10 years before the original owner decided to sell it. I actually had trouble getting it to run at first. What got it running was I cleaned the two CPU 8-Pin connectors with CRC Electronics cleaner and a brush. The PSU was a new EVGA 1200w unit so that wasn't the problem. The i7-980x overclocks surprisingly well, but not as well as my Xeon X5690.

The X58 plateform is by far my favorite! Still have my original one and it's on this that i learned to overclock and tinker with pc's! Mine has a Xeon x5675 overclocked to 4.5ghz paired with an rx580 8gig and beleive it or not, but it still runs almost every title! I use it for Retro console games connected to my tv!

Wow, great video. I have a 980X rocking in a Asus P6T7 WS motherboard with 24gigs ram DDR3 (24 is the max) and Quadro P2000. I still use it for my plex media player. I will surely be on the look out for the follow up video.
