Yeah for sure :(

Those CPUs are so slow that they barely benefit from triple channel, so dual channel X58 isn't the end of the world

@@kingeling But,'em Chinesium boards aren't overclocable!!! That's just a crime!!!

@@kingeling LOL say that to my 8 mhz 286 CPU. 🤣🤣"So slow" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't think many people would be interested in seeing motherboards with 3 memory slots though. People were already not that fond of the 6 slots on LGA1366 full size motherboards or the 12 slots on LGA2033 ones.

Syrup accident. We've all been there

I once received a video card from eBay that had clearly been splashed with orange juice. After much cleaning, I got most of it off, but the thing still gives off an orangey smell when it gets toasty.

@@moardargons8160 honestly that’s cool

Noice​@@moardargons8160

That would be amazing. Maybe in 20 years time 😁

​@@RandomGaminginHD I think it will be closer to 10 years. I feel that in the future there will be a bigger push for software that scales with multicore peformance so current gen will become outdated a lot quicker than previous gen

You must remember this was made in the "4 cores forever" era.We won't see such longevity from our current star CPUs,especially not the 13x00k/14x00k due to silicon degradation.

@@naamadossantossilva4736 Yeah silicon degradation and instability is really bad.

32nm Gulftown was originally leaked to be named Core i9 but for some reason Intel wanted to make the names complicated and named them as i7-9** just like the previous gen 45nm Bloomfield i7-9**

@@rexcatston8412maybe idk, I mean I am broke so I just browse internet to find something lucky. One time I found this prebuilt at an incredibly low price but I couldn't do anything. Also you can find many treasure on the internet like a candy you liked as a kid selling on somewhere haha

this is why windows pushing to end support for windows 10 next year. So many old computers "from oem's to custom builds" can run windows 10 just fine.

@@CecilTheDarkKnight234 Yes, the move to Windows 11 is what is finally going to kill off 1366. The end of an era.

@@moardargons8160 Yeah it is end of an era.. that's for sure

96GB no?

@@samwalker7567 DDR3 capped out at 8GB sticks, and 6 of these is 48GB (at least for X58). I think X299 (the last of the crazy boards) support 32GB DDR4 modules.

@@TheSpotify95 DDR3 did not cap out at 8GB sticks, but 16GB sticks. DDR4 goes up to at least 64GB/DIMM. RAM limitation is more about what the motherboard will support than anything else. Some DDR3 motherboards cap out at 8GB DIMM support but others do not. I have an X58 board with 6x16 for 96GB of RAM, however the older version of the same board is capped to 48, and this one accepting 16GB DIMMs and going to 96 max is officially an undocumented feature.

Note difference between regular unbuffered RAM modules and registered (buffered) ECC modules ("server memory"). I have a board that can take both kinds, but you can only go up to 48 GB using unbuffered memory and need registered modules to get up to 96 GB, the motherboard max.

@@samwalker7567 16GB DDR3 sticks were a thing for laptops but required Intel 5th gen CPU. There was also DDR3 16GB and 32GB ECC Registered for workstations and servers but those don't work on X58 (except dual socket LGA1366 workstations and servers)

Yep :(

That, and the anemic single thread score which could be matched by a tape modded Xeon X3220. An RX 580 would have been a more appropriate GPU choice. The CPU utilization is quite high in Cyberpunk, given the low single thread score and the fact Cyberpunk can run fine on a Haswell i7, the CPU must be doing frequent emulation of missing instruction sets.

@@Lurch-Bot The single thread performance wouldn't be that big of a problem on a proper OC capable board. Though if you are building a gaming PC in 2024 you shouldn't really be looking at anything older than Haswell i7 due to the lack of AVX2 on older CPUs. My X5670 @ 4.4GHz on an Asus P6X58D-E did pretty well with a GTX 1080. I now have the 1080 in a newer PC but whenever I upgrade to a faster GPU I'll put the 1080 back into the X58 system.

😁 thanks

Nah the 990x. The 1366 extreme edition. They are really hard to find these days

@@RandomGaminginHD The 990X was still an i7. Intel didn't introduce i9 branding until the 7000 series HEDT chips followed by the 9th gen 9900 SKUs for consumer desktops.

@@jtenorj In 2009 leaks the 6c/12t Gulftown was branded as i9. Though in the end Intel made the naming complicated by naming them as i7-9** just like the previous gen Bloomfield. Also of course the leaks were for the 2010 i7-980X, not the 2011 i7-990X

Less than a third of the multithreaded performance and little more than a third of the single thread score. Also, the X5650 lacks support for AVX, which is why you have surprisingly high usage on the CPU but the GPU is still bottlenecked by 25% and this is because the CPU is using considerable resources to emulate the missing AVX instructions. In fact, at this point, nobody should be building a budget gaming PC in 2024 without AVX2 support, let alone one without AVX.

That's actually a four core cpu as amd had cpu's with one faulty core and so sold them as three cores , it's possible to unlock the extra core and sometimes you get lucky and it actually works . There are you tube videos showing you how to do this .

@@PhilipKerry I tried to unlock the hidden 4th core but never had any luck, so content with the black edition 3 cores.

If you're looking into emulating things such as PS3 it's likely you'll need to spend a bit more, but for anything older than that an i7-2600 with 16GB of DDR3 is very capable at emulation. My brother ran one for years and we emulated absolutely everything before the seventh generation of consoles.

And the one in the video is a really low clocked one. On any proper board you could easily OC the X5650 to above 4GHz and get a HUGE jump in performance. Even just 4.0GHz is already a 50% increase from the base 2.67GHz or 30% from the stock 3.07GHz single core turbo

How much did it cost to build?

Scratch and sniff only!

You can FSB OC any CPU pretty much as long as your MB supports it. Even a Pentium 4 or a Ryzen on an A520 MB. You can mod a Xeon X3220 (Q6600) to run like a Q9650 with a piece of tape, as long as your MB can handle 1333mHz FSB. I did this on an old Optiplex for a Windows 7 build. It actually works with any Core 2 CPU that is rated for a FSB speed lower than 1333mHz because the mod just causes BIOS to run at max FSB. You're blocking the signal that tells it to run at a lower FSB speed and it is far less sophisticated than a modern BIOS so it just defaults to the max. E5- 1620 V3, 1630V3 are the closest thing to a Haswell i7 but even then, that's not actually what they are. A Haswell i7 only has 8MB L3 cache, whereas the quad core Xeons have 10MB. This suggests they are actually made from higher core count Xeons with defects, effectively not even from the same wafer as an i7. You'd have to go back to the Core 2 era to find Xeons that used the same silicon as a consumer CPU, just higher binned.

@@Lurch-Bot this is true but it also OCs literally everything connected to your board,even your GPU and sound chips. It can get the job done but also hurt things you dont want to mess with.

Yeah gone up again not sure why this was so heavily discounted

@@RandomGaminginHD 13xx socket mobo and cpu shouldnt sell for that much to begin with. I mean, 2011 mobo, cpu and RAM bundle can be had for at least same or less.

@@RandomGaminginHD Because you bought it so they got the impression there was actually a market for hardware this old. To be fair, it would work fine as a basic PC but would be woefully inefficient which is probably an issue for someone who lives in the UK or Europe. And definitely not at all worth much more than you paid for it. I recently got a Haswell i7 and Z87MB for around $50 and that is much better for gaming than this old Xeon due to having roughly double the single thread performance. You can run Cyberpunk just fine on 8 threads which means the rest of the CPU is busy emulating the missing AVX instruction set and not always managing to keep up. Low single thread score can cause stuttering and frame drops too. I got the impression it would be unplayable for me and I first played Doom at around 18fps on a 386. There is a world of difference between low framerate and a stuttering mess. Usually these days, the low framerate will come with stutters which makes it unplayable, not the low framerate per se. This is why the kids wonder how we managed to play games back in ancient times, the answer being that, while the framerates were low, the frame pacing was usually smooth.

A tech tuber not named Steve is suspect

get out xD

The W3690 and i7-990X have unlocked multiplier so they probably could be overclocked even on that china board with Intel XTU or ThrottleStop. But of course on a proper board even the X5650 can be OCd to 4.0GHz or above. For OC capable boards the X5675 is usually the best choice since they are usually good bins

They're both about equally rare, just the W3690 tends to be more reasonably priced. I ran a W3690 for years and I think functionally it's about the same as the 990X. On these repurposed server motherboards from China either one would be a noticeable improvement over the X5650-X5670.
