- UNLOCKING the e5-2699 v3 18 core Xeon is something that ADDS so much VALUE. from a mediocre 2.6GHz all the way up to 3.46GHz on all cores. Though the journey wasn't entirely easy! I had to use USB Flashback

Blast from the past, back in 2015 when I first discovered this hack it was fun. The chip to get however is the 2696V3, this was a OEM chip released around a year after the 2699V3. That has a turbo of 3.8, with an undervolt and BCLK oc you can be boosting to 4.0 during games. Another great chip is a QS version of the 2695V3, that one was quirky that it came with a 3.5 turbo as opposed to the 3.3 turbo. But would boost to 3.6. I think there are a lot of chips like this you just have to track them down.
the more budget, 100€ 2678v3 3,3ghz turbo boost hack
Yeah I will probably order a heap of them in and more of the budget motherboards, the inverse relationship of higher clocks and lower voltages means also getting a power supply with the lowest ripple possible, but also to keep it budget the lowest price... Hmmmm, I find this stuff... extremely fun :P.
@@Machacador1996 Yup I have one of those :) I was testing that machine out and scored my highest scoring Apex Legends game to date with over 2500 damage and a win, I recorded it and posted it on youtube, it was great. Needless to say, it ran Apex like a freaking dream, it was paired with an rx580 but can handle more. edit: I was used a modified bios from a Russian youtuber who's name I can't remember to boost across as many cores as it can with 125watt tdp. From what I understand you cant undervolt the 2678 but I guess I just need a more special bios :)
Keep diggin
Any idea of you can do this on a dual CPU supermicro server motherboard like the X10DRG-Q?
I always recommend the v3's over the v4's because of the forced turbo boost. It's really awesome, or should i say, really popaloppin'
I agree, but it’s better to go for those bga to lga cpus then a cheap Xeon ( 102cores or less). Now that the qqls is $135
@@mikesoro5052 BGA Intel CPUs?
@@Aquabyte often come from laptop probably motherboard defect than strapped to lga format and come whit direct die cooliing fairly sure tech yes man got video on those was getting interesting power draw value and six and 8 core on the budget draw back is limited board compatibility as often the case whit budget deal whit cpu ^^.
@@mikesoro5052 the BGA to LGA CPUs are too expensive... at that point, you're better off buying something more modern instead...
@@HazewinDog Not if you know how to buy direct from Taobao. 10980hk for $135.
I'll never build something as exotic as this machine, but lots of fun watching you do it. Congrats on making the case work with these parts.
Digging the shoutout for Miyconst, his videos are what sent me down this rabbit hole once upon a time.
I took a break from RUclips for such a long time and Jesus your channel exploded. So glad to see you doing so well, very well deserved!!
Fantastic review!! Part 1 and 2 was well done!
Awesome video, Inspiring and Motivating throughout.
You're Awesome !
I always love when you are making these XEONS CPU builds. That's what makes me hooks up to your channel Brian! It's your forte! Please take a good care of yourself and your love ones. Have a great day! Always! Cheers mate!
I remember once I bought a PC with amd athlon ii x3 CPU that thing was a triple core CPU but you could unlock a 4 core in bios and hope for the best. Love when you can do these kind of things to tech.
Honestly that was on the edge of gambling.
Nice C&C outro music! Sure brings me back to the good old days of gaming. Much props Biran!
Hi Bryan. I really enjoyed this one even if I have no need for a 18 cores 36 threads rig. Anyway, you worked hard to squeeze out from this setup each drop of juice so that it can give it's best. Thank you for this one!
OSes can use all those cores. Its noticeable on my dual Xeon E5-2690, 16 cores and 32 threads, Linux uses the cores/threads for tasks. System monitor shows the low % activity going on across cores, seems very balanced.
I did this with the dual socket system about 4 years ago. Had two E5-2686v3's. IIRC you can bypass the issue by making sure that the end one has either the same size or hash as the original or maybe it's getting it signed correctly. But anyway there's definitely a way to do it. Super cool video!
Staring at Bryan's dusty monitor at around the 6 minute mark, made me think that my own monitor was that dusty for a minute.
I was editing and thought, "I hope no one notices this" lol..
I didn’t notice until I read this hahaha
I've been subscribed to Miyconst for over a year now, and this is exactly how I found his channel back then :) Unfortunately I couldn't get the 2678 V3 unlocked on my X99-E board either. I think I had the same problem as you... I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, so I'm excited to give it another go now! I'm glad I didn't end up selling the 2678 V3 again...
Love the Xeon E5 content. Keep it coming :)
I miss building pc's and messing with xeon's! Maybe things with get back to normal soon! Thanks Brian!
Tech Yes City Xeon videos are the best! Keep 'em coming!
Watch out folks, there's a jerker lurkin'
Would love to see this build with a more modern gpu like a RTX 3060TI/RTX3070/RTX3080 VS B450 + Ryzen 5600x because this build are very similar in term of price and is brand new.
myconst hardware channel already does this , you can check the channel out ^^
Maybe a 3060? I think the other GPUs are really overpriced right now, the 3060s are at least at nondonor selling prices.
@@techyescity What would have been more beneficial is to use the 3080 in both systems to compare processor performance. You could also test the 1080 in both systems.
@@techyescity 3060s will do fine too, i was just pointing at RTX Founders Edition models :) price are still high and only FE are decent, not sure if they are still available world wide, but from what i see there is still drop of them from time to time.
@@W.M2704 I have checked and apparently it's 2698 V3 vs 5600x, not 2699 but from i have seen 5600x has better power consumption (thanks to his 7nm vs 22) and will have better fps specially low fps in games that favor ipc over multicores,Sadly he didn't show 1% low all the time and 0.1% fps is missing.
Thank you for making me discover this channel.
Great build, thinking of making a similar machine as the multi core/thread is becoming essential these days. Can you compare it to modern CPU choices like the 10900k please
That case really takes me back. I had bought a cheaper version in the early 2000s without the temp sensor. Actually sold it to a buddy of mine who still has it to this day lol. Got it from xoxide pc. Love the content!
Name of the case?
Yea this is gold man. Noone else as well or better known as you are putting out vids like this." That i know of anyway".
hey man you are doing a service thanks ole buddy for doin what you do from across the pond
Thanks for part 2!
Love your work brother
Yeah I had dual Xeon system, it was nice having 16 core 32 threads and I as well was able to get the CPU to run at its max boost on all cores with some bios trickery on this particular board, awesome system for its age but I moved to a 5800x system, and that single core speed help a ton for what I do with it.
Hey Brian! Thank you for the detailed tune walkthrough! Would you like to make the same for that HuananZhi X99-TF too, if possible?
Going to build with the same cpu soon - just ordered the parts I am hype
Labor Intensive Video. Thank's for putting in all the (not insignificant) Legwork.
I've noticed the 2000's era movie posters on the back walls. What are your top 5 movies? I might have something for you!!!
Nice video. Did you use a particular make/model of power supply in order to be a little more accurate on power testing. One with the best rating as possible so there is little waste power being measured
I grabbed one of these off eBay after watching your video and after tweaking everything it benchmarks almost identical to a 1950x Threadripper. Not to mention I am getting the multithreaded performance of basically a modern 10 core. So this used $200 CPU performs faster than a $400-500 modern CPU in multithreaded task. These chips are incredibly stable and are very low heat when doing big work loads. My i9 10850k hits 90c+ when encoding and my 2699v3 barely gets over 60c with similar performance. It is really crazy how well these chips perform.
Awesome af build, especially for that price! My rig cost me a lot more in dec 2022 & some parts up into feb 2023: e5 2698 v3 64GB ecc reg memory & a gtx 1080 Ti. IM LOVING IT!
Loving the content as always Bry Man! I built a system with a similar CPU and x99 board a little while ago - lot of fun to tinker with. One video I'd love to see is a ram tuning guide. I know little about it man, so any help would be greatly appreciated. All the best and say hi to P Man for me.
Nice work! Dont need new PC, just have good relaxation when watching this video
I have a 360 AIO on mine, as my thoughts were that this thing was gonna run hot since 18 cores. However, upon owning it for about 6 months now, the 360 is complete overkill. Oh well, at least it does a great job and looks nice. Thanks for the tune tips, I might give it a try.
I have an ASUS X99 board, and it would have been nice if you linked the forum post that was discussing the work around.
Great series mate! Did you do any testing on CAD, blender or zbrush etc.?
Nice video. I love the x99 platform.
Fantastical ! - is there a cheap mobo with decent VRM temps or with heatsink that can be effectively stacked by adding stuff on top for improved heat transfer from the MOSFETS?
that intro put a big smile on my face lol, not sure if its cause im drunk or if it was genuinely funny
Nice work Brian, I'm currently looking at what software will work on Linux natively and what will run in a Wine wrapper. This project is extremely interesting but the whole W11 thing puts a big question mark on wether to get into it. Still there again we don't really have to worry about it until 2025.
Awsome Brian, can you run the BEnchmarks with the 3080? Is single core performance in gaming up there with the 10900k
Great build! What do you think about the e5-1660v3 and overclock it? I have an e5-1650 v2 with x79, but the lack of avx2 and the plexHD do not passing 4Ghz is limiting me.
love it keep it up
I am building a system with 2 of these 2699v3 CPUs this week. Motherboard is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
Build is done. Pictures on the discord.
I'll do a follow up with the turbo unlock.
Now thats alot of cores and threads that thing is a power house well done.
Awesome bryan, loved these two videos and shows what you can do. Shame we have the 165W though as you could go higher shame there isnt a mode to remove that? However yes, would love to see this going up against an 18 core modern INTEL or AMD... However, you didn't give us the NEW time for premiere, did it get closer to that 8 minutes? Would love to know!
Have you tried raising the memory voltage and the VCCIO/VCCSA to get a better RAM OC?
Hair looking sharp bro :) Thats an impressive budget rig wow. I've watched all your old videos on Xeon's its what got me in to them! I have an E5 2678 v3 based system myself on an msi motherboard. Unlocked across all cores, I dont use it much though sadly. Awesome video though what a lil budget beast.
Yeah such a nice combo, I am thinking about making this the main workstation, just recently changed the other rig though lol.
Bryan,
I have the same motherboard and was wondering if you had a link to the unlocked bios for the Asus 99-A. The google link in the forum post in your video no longer hosts that file. Thanks
Great job👍
Definitely an awesome build. I've been playing with an x79 board and a gtx1080. I'm planning on the 1660v2 and hopefully 2133 or 2400 ddr3. But I would love to try x99 and up.
Can i use this build for unreal engine 5
Hell yeah Myconst!
Very nice serie so far! Would love to see you compare the 10900k or 10850k vs this thing!
Hi, ive recently purchased a hp z640 and put a e5 2699 v3 in and wanted to do the turbo boost. I tried to follow instructions from a previous vid of yours but my bios is locked and the hp menu does not offer as many options to change or i havnt explored it enough to find cpu and turbo settings.
Possible on a server board like an X10 supermicro or Tyan?
Good video! but that would have been fun to see the this processor with the RTX3080 too... just to see the difference between the two processors result.
the tuned system rocks. However, I thought you were going to cover using this e5-2699 v3 along with Jingsha and Machinist motherboads?
what about the aliexpress x99 motherboard, any custom bios will allow similar results in terms of overclocking?
I would love for you to compare this to 10th gen Intel I think it would be very interesting to see it vs any part of the lineup , 10100k -10900k! Great content as usual !
I'd love to see what a pair of 2696 V3's would do if you unlock the turbo on them like this, if all goes well I'm about to pick up a Z10PE-D8 WS with an 8x4 kit of ram (will be upgraded soon as possible) and a pair of E5 2640 V3's, I'm planning on doing the turbo unlock on this one too, and it seems that it's much simpler with asus boards too so that's a nice bonus
Just finished the 2nd half of the video today, and I gotta say.. TDP locked overclocking is fun. I had to do the same on my 1050 Ti that has no power connectors. I got a huge performance uplift in Cyberpunk by undervolting it :D over 30% I believe, it's now performing better than the median 1050 Ti that is not power limited. Made a big difference in GTA V too.
my comupter will crash 1 or 2 times every other day or so and say the
system experienced a boot failure possibly due to incorrect
configuration previous settings in bios may not be compatible with
current hardware state. but its set to default already im kinds lost
here lol any help TY.
awesome Vid. hey could you also compare to standard x99 of the day like 5960x and 6950x becuase these are also at similar price to 2699 v3's
I have a 12 core xeon 2009 mac pro with a vega 64. Built it before the pandemic for less than 1k. Its a perfectly capable workstation. Keeps up with todays hardware.
I still have a 12 Core model of one of these CPUs sitting in a PC next to me, I really gotta get around to doing a max turbo boost unlock on it and doing something with it.
always great stuff for value for money. if you was closer I would buy that from you at any time :)
You are the ARCHITECT of budget monster workstation pc's !
just wondering whats the max gup this could use
How do I find out if a Xeon e5 2696 v3 has a stepping 2 before I buy the cpu
@Brian Tech Yes City : I was wondering if you could maybe revisit this 2699 v3 CPU but on a x99 Jingsha or Machinist based motherboard? Would the tuning options be similar? Between your channel, myconst and philscomputerlab, got me interested in the Xeons. I built my first used Xeon e5-2650 v2 with 16gb ddr3-1333 ecc in quad channel (x79 Kllisre + the e5-2650 vw & ram came as a combo) + palit 8600GT+ 1GB for video back in Octob er of 2021. This my daily driver, non gaming rig. I currently run Linux Mint 19.3 on it
hello brian that xeon and without denying is one hell of a video-editing/3d desining cpu
and it have solid performance in games but in video games what cpu can we compare it with R5 3600 intel ??
still rockin my 1080Ti.........anyway Bryan where did you get that cyberpunk stripe light on your wall????......it looks killer.
what exact motherboard did you use. will you link the custom bios ? this way we can flash the the board without installing windows.
Instant thumbs up for the intro lolol
Hi, do you still have a copy of the Asus BIOS that Kamaras made as his Google Drive-hosted version no longer exists? I'd like to unlock the Xeon E-2699 on an Asus X99-A II motherboard but I am not confident with some of the tools from Myconst's tutorial. Thanks, Gary
Would love to know how the 6900k performs in latest games VS the 5960x. (Overclocked) is it worth upgrading to the broadwell IPC?
Great and Brillant content @TechYesCity... Is it possible to do the same with 2690 V1?
When it comes to these Haswell Xeons, what about the Xeon E3 lineup for socket 1150? Also, how much more would it be for a Broadwell for the same socket? Say for example someone got a i3 or a budget i5 like say a 4460 for example, normally something like a i7-4770(K) or assuming BIOS is updated/supports it, the 4790(K) would be reccomended/regarded as the best CPU that it could be upgraded to without also upgrading the MoBo & RAM, but yet there's also Broadwell with the i7-5775C and the Xeon E3 such as the 1285v4? How big of a upgrade & therefore difference of value would there be between Haswell, Haswell Refresh/Devils Canyon & Broadwell?
I'm curious about 79xx stacks up against 109xx. If it's just as good, I have a feeling X299 could be the next X99. Any plans for a video like that?
I had a issue with my 18 core 2699v3 where I could only stream/record in 720p (x264) without it skipping. Could never figure out why it wasn’t smooth in 1080p since it has 36 threads... Any ideas?
I would have to say also refer to JaysTwoCents warning about bricking Asus MB just by using the flashback utility as well.
Yo Tech Yes City, I need an X99 mobo and a CPU. What do you recommend these days? Looking to build something around $500 not including case, Gpu or Nvme/Ssd. Also 1080ti or something else? I plan to build in 2 months.
Looking online this chip can now be bought for like 60 bucks.
Is there a even newer “old” server chip that would be better to use now or is this one still the way to go?
will this work or recomend it on a asus x99 deluxe board?
Hey annoying issue here! LGA2011-3 Asus X99 board - can i mod a LGA2011 waterblock to go onto the LGA2011-3 socket?! Asus X99-DELUXE/U3.1 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
Brian, how do you think this compares to your old workhorse 1680 v3 (4.6ghz)? That video you featured it againt i9 and ryzen was always the gateway video i introduce your channel to other people.
OK so don't hate, but can I get one of these 18 core fire it up with my 1080 ti and have it work great for Premier Pro or will I need to hack and overclock etc. like you did? I was thinking of selling my ryzen5 5600 rig since I only use that one for video editing and I could get about $600 for it while I could buy one of these for $200 fully built (except gpu)
dual Xeon E5-2690 v1 which is 2011 X79 , 100W idle, 400W running Cinebench. the fan noise is awesome, helps to be slightly deaf.
Amazing sir I take my hat off to thee 🙏🏼
What would you recommend for aug 2023? Is it still better to pair 1080ti with Xeon 2699 v3? Any other options?
Hi, do you know if this mod is possible also in 2699 V4 ? Thanksss!!!
I just recently got 3 of these for £38 each, got a single and dual build coming, didn’t even know this about the boost!
disabling cores works better for 3.6ghz overclock?
Is this the same for the machinist x99 plus
Hi, unrelated.
im confuse! HELP!!! xeon, i3 9th gen, i5-6400, i5-7400, i7-4770 or even i7-3770.
Can you guide me if to build in xeon (not going for the above processor version), which processor should i choose in 4th, 6th, and 7th gen. can you please provide the top 3 in each of them.
and maybe make a video for the future ideas.
and for budget GPU with 4GB which should i look for.
prices here are quite unstable, if buying xeon i have to buy gpu, but if im buying the above processor not buying gpu at the moment.
You should try to reverse your back panel fan so it can help pulling hot air out after GPU. I know from practice that with similar radiator structure it can help to drop up to 10°C as it was with my Evga gtx770.
hmm interesting. I snagged a E5-2690 v3 12 core a while back and I'm using it in a supermicro workstation motherboard. I have it running truenas, plex and a windows vm. I have 8x8 gig of ram a intel 10gb pcie card and 10 hardisks and 2 ssds. The whole system idles at 95 watts but jumps to 170 ish whilst scrubbing the disks. wondering if i can or should undervolt the cpu and if the gains are worthwhile. electric is getting expensive here in the uk now and this system runs 24/7
I wanna know the 1440p numbers tho with an rtx 2080ti or a rx 6700xt
