@ESKATEUK 100%, the reviews at the time slated this cpu, although I do agree the price was a little high, now though it's definately good value for money

@ yeah the issue was, the price was high, and it should have had at least 10 cores. But in all honesty for most stuff it’s not needed and did actually outperform the 10th gen i9. I picked one of these up pre owned for £120, and it’s made a big improvement over my old i5 10600k I had.

@ESKATEUK yeah 100% for £120 it's a steal and keeps up with allot of the newer cpus to a certain extent

@ that’s right mate, I have a similar setup to my mate, and he has an i7 12700k, both with a 3080ti, and in all honesty, unless you play in 1080p, you won’t notice the difference!

@ESKATEUK I recently built 2 PCs both with weaker cpus but running rtx 3080 gpus, and everyone that wants to buy it asks how it performs at 1080p lowest settings and I'm like, this is advertised as a 1440p Gaming PC, it's not gonna push out high fps lol, both are i5 10th gen

No not really it's more of a budget build for its time, but upgradable so it can easily become fairly mid range gaming pc

@baddestmofoalive I recently did a video comparing my 2699 vs intel ultra 9, and I managed to beat one of them lol still with the boost clock mod it made a huge difference

@@RestoTek I just got a SOIC8 clip and am going to try a bit of bios modding and overclocking on mine lol

@@MobeenMohammad-g3e What bruv, man lyke Mobeen?

What was the model No of those xeons?

@RestoTek Xeon E5-2697 v4 18-Core

@HelamanGile yeah i heard that actually performs better than the 2699, I'll pick that up especially if it's just 30 quid!

@samohraje2433 thank you, that's amazing I might have a look into a pair of x5690 cpus for myself, 4.7GHz is pretty decent especially for gaming. Thank you for the indepth description here, I'm sure it will help other people too!

@RestoTek actually, compared to i7 3770K, the X5690 at 4GHz is roughly 10% faster as 3770K stock in games. At 4.7GHz i see almost 30fps boost in almost every game that is not 1core speciffic and can run on such an old system ( lack of some instruction sets ). Two X5690 at 4.7GHz gives you almost 30fps boost over i7 3770K at the same clock but consumes twice as much power, 3770K peaks at around 160W at 4.7GHz while x5690 peaks 210W on 12V CPU connector. Crazy how old that system is and still somehow capable. X99 is always better in many ways and i can clearly say it is futureprooved, if you have dual X99 mobo from like EVGA or Gigabyte or more likely from Asus, they support overclocking as well and by putting some 10 core xeons in them you can have 40 thread monster that can run any game at reasonable resolutions and framerates.

X5690 only supports 1333Mhz. Do you grill your breakfast on your PC? 😂😂

@ I don't know what that cpu support but it works at 2133MHz. But i think max is 1600-1700MHz i have BCLK fsb set to 235 and anything else via multiplier, for CPU i have 20x. It coockin but not as terrible as i thought. 400W just CPUs alone is wicked 😂

Did i say i overclocked? I dunno how i did that on a B series board lol

@@GoHardDrive-b9f I suppose those drives are designed for long life, I've got quite a few wd blue and other consumer drives that have failed from 2014

@Nikitafrom233 thank you I'll give that a go, it was throttling I think when it was running on boost clock, turbo boost was unlocked for these tests

Those people are unbelievable how they managed to figure this all out and share it for free on the Internet. Link is in my video description they have loads of stuff on their site

Sorry, I've add it into the video description!

Will need to give it a try if I get another one. Glad to hear that you took the time to refurbish it. I think sometimes people take for granted the things they have

That's awesome, I need to get the rest of my ram sticks working properly and hopefully I can get it running with more than 16gb of ram. Still though pretty impressed with it's performance

It’s pretty crazy as the MB for these sell for about $40 now on eBay and a single E5-2699 v3 for less than $30 now you could get dual CPU with MB for about $100. That’s crazy for the performance

Do you dual boot with windows/MacOS? I’ve thought of doing the same.

@@danielc9312 Yes, but I can't remember the last time I logged in on Windows :) Keep in mind it's power-hungry, about 350W in idle, doing absolutely nothing. The electric bill will be pretty bad if you are not making money with such a machine and you only want it for the lols.

I think what I was saying there is when you take the usb cable out the hard drive might still be spinning, although if you do eject it properly it should be an issue

Use a screen guard, they are pretty good

@@x-variable-y-variable why?

@@h0cusf0cus use ddu, it will clean the driver from your system, then re download a fresh version of your bios for installation

100% it was interesting with doom though and your right single threaded performance will always do better in gaming, although the future for gaming is changing since I think games in the future will use more and more cores

@@RestoTek They've been saying that forever, and it keeps being more wrong than right. The average game in 2015 used four cores, and in 2024 (nine years later!), hardly any games use more than six cores. Yes, it's true that future games will tend to use more cores, but the rate at which core count utilization increases is much slower than many people realize.

Yeah it has been, I remember when the FX range of CPUs came out and it's "8 cores" would be used in all games, and even when true 8 core cpus came out still didn't happen. I guess when games transition to a new api then that might be a game changer, just windows is a bit slow to move on

@@RestoTek It's not about Windows; it's about the game engines. Unreal Engine can already use up to 64 cores, but CPU utilization requires the developers to actively tell the engines how to use each of those cores, and most of them are either too rushed or too lazy to do that. This is why it's very unlikely that games will ever progress much beyond 16 cores unless some kind of core allocation automation technology is developed.

had an i5 11400f before

Yeah i think it's a pretty good deal, since I made my video prices have crept up

@dantebg100 that's interesting and that does make sense. I suppose I could play around with say one cpu runs windows, streaming etc and the other purely on the game. I was hoping for higher scores on the productivity benchmarks, got destroyed on geekbench 😆

You'll have to play around on processor affinity when it comes to games, especially since Windows does poorly when scheduling threads in these edge cases

@Demopans5990 I recently did a video using steamOS, I might give that a try and see what the difference is, was interesting when I did it with a fx 9590

My board is a x99-F8 with 4x16GB ddr4 3200mhz, same e5 2696 v3 cpu, C drive is a WD770 m.2, gpu is a AORUS gtx1080ti with waterblock, case is Thermaltake Core P8 TG, CPU cooler NZXT Elite 360, gpu cooler custom loop etc... ruclips.net/video/NCtlhMsbnPI/видео.htmlsi=j5939bQSi2HG8WQH

OI MISSIES, move over we have a new 4 point stove, it's called the xeon stove! Lol 😆 if I can get a quad cpu mobo I'd definately give it a try, should be quite fun i think

@@RestoTek well.. just picked up a Supermicro X10QBi for 100 plus shipping..I'll let you know how abysmal my results are, or how delicious the breakfast turns out!

@everyoneinhere thanks for the tip lol, I'm gonna have to give it a try 😅

Good Luck! I think windows pro versions don't work properly with 4 cpu configs. I was always told that requires a server license.

Yeah it's amazing, I know that api is old now but it's still super effective!

Unfortunately not

Ahh that's interesting, I think at some points of the video it was hitting tdp limit aswell, I might try again with a combination of disabling hyper threading and maybe disabling some cores so it can stay up at 3.6ghz

its not windows, its a game engine limitation, that same threadripper cpu used by linus will fully utilize 100% of its total cores in a productivity scenario, gaming is vastly different, also task manager is awfully poorly configured in terms of displaying accurate information on usage and even speeds of cpu

@@chippyyyy That could be a reason too but if I somehow ever get my hands on this CPU I am releasing benchmarks using Linux

@@potatocrispychip i would love to see that since not really anyone does it

​@chippyyyy They are also correct. Windows Home only supports 64 threads. Pro/Edu edition supports up to 128, and Server/Workstation edition supports 256.

@amdintelxsniperx 100% the motherboard is super weird and it's got these jumpers for m.2 and sata with no instructions so I spent quite a bit of time trying to get my m.2 to work lol

@RDL_Jamaican just saw the video dude, man that build is pretty mad, love the ram cooling going on there. I think maybe single cpu setup is probably better. Cool build!

With LGA 2011-3 the RAM modules needs to be Dual Rank (ram chips on both sides of the sticks).

@LuisPipoComunica working on it, slow progress but I'll get it done!

Thank you, I tried the modified bios but it got rejected when I tried to flash it, I do have a m.2 adaptor and it I could see it in the bios but it refused to boot. Kind of ran out of time for the video but I'll give it a try again next time!

@RestoTek As I know you need an external hardware adapter to flash modded bios

@axescar ahh I do have one but I didn't go that far down that route, thank you I'll do it when I get a chance

I have a competitor that might rival 13th gen intel but maybe not the 13th gen i9, will be coming out soon!

@Gamejone_123 I didn't use a stock cooler, that's the biggest cooler I've ever owned what are you talking about? Granted the motherboard was lacking and I think I could have done a couple of other things to boost it's performance. Overall in the end I did say it was a great deal, especially now that 13th and 14th gen are failing

Yeah I'm rebuilding another one right now, it's a little fiddly, I got error codes come up, just remember not to over tighten the cpu coolers and add the ram sticks in one at a time. That's add one ram stick then boot, turn off add another etc. It's some weird black magic on my mobo anyways

@RestoTek alright thanks for the tip!

Thank you, your insight is really valuable and something I didn't really pick up on in terms of temps, I also wanted to do a bit more testing to see if there is a difference between running dx12 and vulkan games on steamOS.

@@RestoTek that would be extremely interesting. with a 60% tariff on tech coming to my country getting every ounce of perf out matters ALOT

lol what part of this do you think this is fake

100%, it's a better batch of the i7 with a higher overclock

I have to admit the general feedback foe this video has been mainly negative. A bit insensitive on my part, should have never have done it

@@midulfrombd I'll need to add it in my next video

@@iharandreyev2497 I will do someone mentioned that I can record the avg 1% and .1% lows so I'll definately do that in my next video, thanks for the feedback!
