Another great video! It’s nice to see how these older systems hold up even today and beyond. I just built a hp z440 with a E5-2697A and paired it with a gtx 1080. It’s a neat system for the price. Keep up the great work good sir 💪

This channel is so damn good, it's so fun taking a walk down memory lane and how some of these CPUs hold up. It is such a great resource for bang for buck builds
Not for gaming, but if you need cheap workstation for Autodesk etc, E2600 are still very good. They bottleneck any modern RTX card, so not meant to play games on.
Was hoping to see a vid about this generation of Xeons from you mate, top notch as always 😊 I nabbed a 22-Core E5-2699v4 some time ago for the lucky price of £150, paired it with 64GB of RAM on an Asus Rampage Extreme 10 & had it as a solid secondary PC for things like rendering and restoring data, tho admittedly I intially bought it all because I thought it was cool and justified it with the practical stuff 😂
I got myself a 13900k because "I'm going to do simulations, and I need it". Turns out they require much more knowledge than my uni provides on this level, and I really don't have the time to do it, having to work almost every single day, along with still having to attend uni.
In BFV I fixed the "low polygon count" by downloading "nvidia profile inspector" and changing the allowed "cache size" to unlimited. Once I did that all vehicles and character models started rendering in high quality and no longer looked like models from the early 2000s
The e5-1660v3 and e5-1680v3 has unlocked multipliers. I have the later and it runs really well. Would love to see a e5-2696v4 on your chart. It has a decent turbo multiplier and a l3 cache of 55mb Good video, thank you!
I have a system with 2*E5 2696v3, 256gb ram and RTX A4000 (custom cooling). Using it mostly for massive calculations (I'm a scientist). System seriously lacks behind in single core calculations. But if I tried to build smth comparable in parallel calculations from new parts, it will be at least 2-3 times more expensive. And my friend needed cheap upgrade for the system. 130-140$ for motherboard, 32gb ram and e5 2680v4 is pretty good, I think) This old CPUs still have their use)

Finally, a Broadwell Xeon review. Those Broadwell Xeons at 14nm are now dirt cheap, especially the Xeon e5-2680v4, which I am planning to do a build with (maybe even a twin socket monstrocity with all RAM slots populated) so as to have a comically large core count for running demanding professional tasks). Most importantly, they are fully compatible with existing LGA2011-3 motherboards and upgrading from something like a Xeon e5-2620v3 or 2650v3 to a Xeon e5-2680v4 seems like a no-brainer, which would also make the power consumption less ridiculous.
@@one_step_sideways 👍 I have two X99 systems, one with the i7-6950x and the other with the E5-2680 v4 (14c, 28t), two very different systems even though they have the same motherboard Asus X99-A.
@@julianfiacconi709 So, do you think it's worth buying a Xeon e5-2680v4 for $20 (which it sells for now in China including shipping) and 64GB of RAM in quad channel for $80 with a decent motherboard? and most importantly, is it worth building a twin-socket system with two 2680v4s and 128GB RAM (because of how cheap it would be)? I don't really know if I would even be able to use all 28 cores, but I am planning to work with dual-socket systems in the datacenter as an SRE engineer in the near future.
@@one_step_sideways Dual cpu is not necessary. Most deep learning and machine learning is done on the GPU. Yes, I would still recommend an X99 system with a name brand, whether Asus, Gigabyte, AsRock or EVGA, with a 2680v4 or preferably a 2690v4, coupled with an Nvidia RTX a4000 or a4500. Spend your money on the GPU, you can take it with to the next series up. Xeon e5-26xx v4’s are so cheap right now, except the quality mb are still in the 150-200 dollar range on eBay. However, I have moved on to the X299 motherboards and the i9-10980xe, mainly for the AVX512.
I went for a Xeon 1231v3 over a i7 4790 years ago. Was fantastic. Performance was very close to benchmarks I compared too. However any troubleshooting any game I would get to hear "thats a server cpu, its not made for gaming".
Old Net/Sys Admin here. Getting ready to retire my used Xeon system I built back in early 2016. It runs 24/7 as my server and desktop. My specs are similar to yours. Except I used an AsRock X99 MB and a Xeon E5-2658v3 (almost dead even with the 2667 in multi-threaded performance). I picked up the 2658 for $180 at that time. It's been a great system. But now... I'm going Ryzen with triple the performance and a lower TDP.
Wow I can't believe how good the X79 1680 V2 is performing in some of these games. I used one for about a year, did amazing, but I just managed to get a cheap upgrade at the time. Very impressive for a 2013 processor
I had been running the 1680v2 from mid 2018 - 1Q2023...it was a terrific CPU for the price ($165, at the time), considering I was able to get a used bundle (ASUS P9X79 Pro + 6 pipe Air Cooler + 8x4GB of DDR3 1600 + i7-3820K) for only $220. I then sold off the i7 for $80, so the motherboard was practically free. It paired well with a GTX 1080Ti ( also bought used in 4Q2019, for $350). That used bundle deal made the overall system build cost quite palatable. Dodged the GPU price bullet by a few months, too. Upgraded earlier this year to E5-2696v3 (Turbo Unlocked with an UV), X99TF, 64GB DDR4, and RTX 2080Ti. A better machine for my use case (mostly productivity, a little gaming). Again, many used components bought locally, save for the CPU off of AliEx ($46) and a new X99TF ($50...that was a deal). Given the RTX 2080TI only cost me $220 (after selling off the Strix waterblock for $50) and the 64GB of DDR4 was $80, the upgrade was relatively inexpensive.
Ha noticed my friends channel at 1:55 in your RUclips search! He’s got lots on xeons and x99 stuff! Loving your content so far cheers from Down Under mate 🍻
I've recently found your channel and am loving this content. My first PC was around this era and it's a really cool way to look back and see everything else that existed alongside the mainstream desktop platforms. I look forward to seeing more from your channel.
⚠NOTE: The V4s have their own independent turbo clock speeds with AVX & non-AVX workloads when compared to the V3s where if even 1 core is doing AVX workload, all cores will downclock to the AVX turbo values.
I've been running one of these for about the last 14 months and I am very happy with it. I was able to build a system with this (E5-2667v4) and 64GB of DDR4-2400 in quad channel in a Dell Precision Tower case for about $200, plus one of those Chinese mobility RTX 3060m miner cards for another $175 and a PCIe-NVMe adapter board and 1TB SSD for another $75 for an all-in cost of right around $450. Considering the performance I get from that system and the absurd amount of RAM, I think you'd be hard-pressed to make an affordable system that can game perfectly at 1200p (my preferred resolution) that can beat it. I even run a dedicated server on half the cores and memory when I play one of my games with my friends and have no issues.

The 5775C was a great processor too from the same processor core family, but only 4 cores 8 threads. The secret sauce? The 128MB of L4 cache If you dont want a Xeon, you could get an i7-5960x for around the same price, but be aware, this is on the older haswell architecture and an older node, yes you can overclock it, but the 2667V4 will be more efficient
I'm in the middle of throwing together an HP Z640 for light gaming and some other stuff. I opted for the E5-2690v4 because of its insane value proposition. 14 cores at 2.6ghz for about $40. Slapped 64gb ram and a 2070S in there and I'm happily playing 1440p games at a pretty constant 60fps. Sometimes it's a bit stuttery playing Warthunder at max everything, but not much, and so I had the 2667v4 in mind as a backup. Seems like this video is about to make the price go up though lol. But before I do that, I ordered a second CPU tray and another 2690v4. Currently waiting for the fan to arrive, and then I'll have 28 cores to mess around with doing I don't even know what.
I'd love to see a video on the E5-1660 v4. Give it an overclock and pair it with a decent quad channel ram kit clocked as high as the memory controller will allow and it could be a high ranker on the list!
Год назад+1
A Brazilian guy did this comparative and the 2667 V4 was better in every game tested ;)
Upgraded from the 6800k to the 6950x. With a solid overclock to 4.4GHz it can keep up in all games pretty much. And it can be had for really cheap nowadays. X99 was a good investment back in 2016 ^^
I chose the HuananZhi X99TF (Ver 1 with C612 chipset) and have been quite pleased with its performance. Originally bought it from the a non official site on AliEx and the order was not filled...eventually got a full refund with the AliEx process. I re-ordered through the official HZ site for $100 and received the motherboard in a few weeks. Then...3 months later...the initial "failed" order surprisingly arrived at the door. This was all during 2020 (covid), so I suspect the initial seller had supply chain issues and even failed to communicate/message. In any event, 2 x X99TF for only $100...a nice bargain. Both boards have performed very well...my office system is paired with the E5-2696v3 while the family/home PC is paired to the E5-2678v3.
i just got a mobo and cpu combo of this coming in the mail now. I got it the cpu and x99 lga 2011 mobo for $77 CAD. The cooler was $40 CAD separate. Pretty good performance for cheap.
almost decided to buy this cpu. but can't remember why i decided not to. probably because of the pricing at my country at that time and also because of 3.5GHz only and can't be OCed. but i think after that i decided to get 2600x and now i have 5700x. with same mobo as my 2600x. edit : i just checked my local pricing. and yup i think it was the pricing. even now they are still trying to sell this cpu with quite a high price.
I had bought a used HP Z440 with an intel xeon E5-2670v3 which has similar (actually slightly weaker) performance compared to 2667v4, even though it was 12 cores 24 threads
These are still great CPUs, mainly thanks to cheap Chinese motherboards to put them in. Would be interested to see how the E5-2643 v3 holds up in comparison
I love the old Xeon 26__ series - but have been burnt badly with defective aftermarket motherboards. Which X79 and X99 motherboards have been good for you folks ?
Even being older and having much less multi-threaded performance per core, it still beats the single-threaded performance of my i5-7400. That's impressive.
Interesting I am making an "I9 desktop" at the moment just got a 11980hk on a Chinese motherboard for 200ish usd. So I found the title of the video pretty relatable, I am looking forward to this one.

It might be the ram. 3600cl18 is bad for ryzen. Get aida 64 or intel memory latency checker. Then check your memory latency, that’s ryzen’s weakness. Faster ram will lower your memory latency to ~55ns. I would try to run it at 3600cl14-14-14 and tune your subtimings. Mainly trfc and trefi

Yes, but quad channel memory in the Xeon makes them so different. Overclocked i9 may come close. Still think the versatility of the Xeon and the pcie lane advantage is what convinced me and perhaps others to go Xeon. However, I’m not a gamer. Price performance metric at least I’ll go used Xeon.

I still remember the i9-9900K because it was the only good chip from that lineup. 9th gen Core has the 9700K which is the worst i7 of all time (no hyperthreading).
I had a 9700k it was a beast but you are right in the end. If I had got a 9900k instead, I wouldn't have had to upgrade to a 13700k because of exactly your point... hyper threading.

Wait.... You ran the V4 chip with non ECC ddr4?! I was told u need Ddr4 ecc to run V4 chips. Sitting on the 2660V3 with turbo unlock was thinking about the 2667v4 but didnt want to downgrade my ram to 2133mhz ddr4 ecc.
Some of the engineering & qualifying samples on AliExpress say they only work with ECC RAM, and I guess it's possible some of the 2011 v3 Huanazhi etc. boards might not support non-ECC. Probably worth checking before you invest, but yeah... this was regular non-ECC DDR4. Also, v4s don't have a turbo unlock option.

What are the reasons for using Chinese motherboards instead of buying a cheap, well built, Dell or HP workstation with these parts? As I understand it, the later Xeons can't be overclocked significantly, which would be a reason for buying a Chinese board. When you get from aliexpress these things can be broken or unreliable.

on this age. 4GB of VRAM is not enough. so for older games it's kinda worth it. but for newer games. no it's not worth it. 33 euros is quite cheap. but 4GB of VRAM is what makes it became cheap.

Same.
Another great video! It’s nice to see how these older systems hold up even today and beyond.
I just built a hp z440 with a E5-2697A and paired it with a gtx 1080. It’s a neat system for the price. Keep up the great work good sir 💪

I did build some E2699 v4 systems, the >4 Ghz CPU's we kept, meant for gaming SIM racing system.
very bad gaming system ! forget overclocking them om fancy for gaming boards, VRM and power issues, boards all failed. You need the Xeon boards for them.
even bottlenecking GTX 1080 ti cards, any PC from that area is better, intel > 6700 !!

@@lucasrem I gotcha! I understand that too.
They aren’t meant to be pushed to the absolute limits as they are almost at them by default. They are really good mulit-core systems for light/ assorted gaming + workloads. This is even including the gtx 1080/ and 1080ti’s in the systems. They are just good cheaper tinker platforms now.
@@lucasremThey are not bad gaming systems at all. I just paired a measly E5 2630 v4 in a Dell T5810 with a 6700 XT and it rips. For the total price of 400 bucks, there is nothing better.
This channel is so damn good, it's so fun taking a walk down memory lane and how some of these CPUs hold up. It is such a great resource for bang for buck builds
Not for gaming, but if you need cheap workstation for Autodesk etc, E2600 are still very good.
They bottleneck any modern RTX card, so not meant to play games on.
Was hoping to see a vid about this generation of Xeons from you mate, top notch as always 😊
I nabbed a 22-Core E5-2699v4 some time ago for the lucky price of £150, paired it with 64GB of RAM on an Asus Rampage Extreme 10 & had it as a solid secondary PC for things like rendering and restoring data, tho admittedly I intially bought it all because I thought it was cool and justified it with the practical stuff 😂
I got myself a 13900k because "I'm going to do simulations, and I need it". Turns out they require much more knowledge than my uni provides on this level, and I really don't have the time to do it, having to work almost every single day, along with still having to attend uni.

In BFV I fixed the "low polygon count" by downloading "nvidia profile inspector" and changing the allowed "cache size" to unlimited.

when do you thin intel will come out with the core I11?🤣🤣🤣
I have a system with 2*E5 2696v3, 256gb ram and RTX A4000 (custom cooling). Using it mostly for massive calculations (I'm a scientist). System seriously lacks behind in single core calculations. But if I tried to build smth comparable in parallel calculations from new parts, it will be at least 2-3 times more expensive.
And my friend needed cheap upgrade for the system. 130-140$ for motherboard, 32gb ram and e5 2680v4 is pretty good, I think)

Amazing review as always! I have one myself and it's superb ^^
Finally, a Broadwell Xeon review. Those Broadwell Xeons at 14nm are now dirt cheap, especially the Xeon e5-2680v4, which I am planning to do a build with (maybe even a twin socket monstrocity with all RAM slots populated) so as to have a comically large core count for running demanding professional tasks). Most importantly, they are fully compatible with existing LGA2011-3 motherboards and upgrading from something like a Xeon e5-2620v3 or 2650v3 to a Xeon e5-2680v4 seems like a no-brainer, which would also make the power consumption less ridiculous.
The Broadwell E (as in i7-6950x) is overclockable the Xeons, not.
@@julianfiacconi709 I know. And as alluded to in the video, the Turbo Boost cannot be unlocked on v4 chips because the microcode was patched.
@@one_step_sideways 👍 I have two X99 systems, one with the i7-6950x and the other with the E5-2680 v4 (14c, 28t), two very different systems even though they have the same motherboard Asus X99-A.
@@julianfiacconi709 So, do you think it's worth buying a Xeon e5-2680v4 for $20 (which it sells for now in China including shipping) and 64GB of RAM in quad channel for $80 with a decent motherboard? and most importantly, is it worth building a twin-socket system with two 2680v4s and 128GB RAM (because of how cheap it would be)? I don't really know if I would even be able to use all 28 cores, but I am planning to work with dual-socket systems in the datacenter as an SRE engineer in the near future.
@@one_step_sideways Dual cpu is not necessary. Most deep learning and machine learning is done on the GPU. Yes, I would still recommend an X99 system with a name brand, whether Asus, Gigabyte, AsRock or EVGA, with a 2680v4 or preferably a 2690v4, coupled with an Nvidia RTX a4000 or a4500. Spend your money on the GPU, you can take it with to the next series up. Xeon e5-26xx v4’s are so cheap right now, except the quality mb are still in the 150-200 dollar range on eBay. However, I have moved on to the X299 motherboards and the i9-10980xe, mainly for the AVX512.
I went for a Xeon 1231v3 over a i7 4790 years ago. Was fantastic. Performance was very close to benchmarks I compared too. However any troubleshooting any game I would get to hear "thats a server cpu, its not made for gaming".
Hopefully people will see the prices of these Xeons and change that attitude. There is genuinely a very good incentive to go Xeon over i7 nowadays.
Just a few days ago I have retired my trusty Xeon e3-1231v3 in favor of a 22C/44T e5-2696v4 that I got of off ebay for about 120 bucks.
hey, we uses same xeon lol
Old Net/Sys Admin here. Getting ready to retire my used Xeon system I built back in early 2016. It runs 24/7 as my server and desktop. My specs are similar to yours. Except I used an AsRock X99 MB and a Xeon E5-2658v3 (almost dead even with the 2667 in multi-threaded performance). I picked up the 2658 for $180 at that time. It's been a great system. But now... I'm going Ryzen with triple the performance and a lower TDP.
Wow I can't believe how good the X79 1680 V2 is performing in some of these games. I used one for about a year, did amazing, but I just managed to get a cheap upgrade at the time. Very impressive for a 2013 processor
I had been running the 1680v2 from mid 2018 - 1Q2023...it was a terrific CPU for the price ($165, at the time), considering I was able to get a used bundle (ASUS P9X79 Pro + 6 pipe Air Cooler + 8x4GB of DDR3 1600 + i7-3820K) for only $220. I then sold off the i7 for $80, so the motherboard was practically free. It paired well with a GTX 1080Ti ( also bought used in 4Q2019, for $350). That used bundle deal made the overall system build cost quite palatable. Dodged the GPU price bullet by a few months, too.
Upgraded earlier this year to E5-2696v3 (Turbo Unlocked with an UV), X99TF, 64GB DDR4, and RTX 2080Ti. A better machine for my use case (mostly productivity, a little gaming). Again, many used components bought locally, save for the CPU off of AliEx ($46) and a new X99TF ($50...that was a deal). Given the RTX 2080TI only cost me $220 (after selling off the Strix waterblock for $50) and the 64GB of DDR4 was $80, the upgrade was relatively inexpensive.
i have the older brother to this one, the xeon e5-2667v2 (only $20). It served me quite well but it was eventually time to upgrade to a new platform
nice, entertaining yet again. need more of them xeons. i only have 1 cpu for my x99 classified but im hoping to try out some xeons ib the future.
Ha noticed my friends channel at 1:55 in your RUclips search! He’s got lots on xeons and x99 stuff! Loving your content so far cheers from Down Under mate 🍻
I've recently found your channel and am loving this content. My first PC was around this era and it's a really cool way to look back and see everything else that existed alongside the mainstream desktop platforms. I look forward to seeing more from your channel.
⚠NOTE: The V4s have their own independent turbo clock speeds with AVX & non-AVX workloads when compared to the V3s where if even 1 core is doing AVX workload, all cores will downclock to the AVX turbo values.
I've been running one of these for about the last 14 months and I am very happy with it. I was able to build a system with this (E5-2667v4) and 64GB of DDR4-2400 in quad channel in a Dell Precision Tower case for about $200, plus one of those Chinese mobility RTX 3060m miner cards for another $175 and a PCIe-NVMe adapter board and 1TB SSD for another $75 for an all-in cost of right around $450. Considering the performance I get from that system and the absurd amount of RAM, I think you'd be hard-pressed to make an affordable system that can game perfectly at 1200p (my preferred resolution) that can beat it. I even run a dedicated server on half the cores and memory when I play one of my games with my friends and have no issues.
Would be very interesting to see how well these xeons can be undervolted.

Love waking up to a new Iceberg video. Makes my morning!
My Homeserver is still 2011V3 based.
I use a Supermicro X10SRL-F Motherboard, a E5 2640V4 (10Core/20Thread) and a Quad Channel Ram kit with 4x8gb, 32gb in total. Absolutely overkill for what i use it for😄
What about power consumption? I wonder if such a sweet system actually costs more when you consider a years electricity. Why supermicro instead of dell r/t or hp z workstations and servers?
The E5-2667 V2 is still a beast as well in 2023!
This is still an awesome CPU 😊
The quality on this channel deserves more subs. I love the approach of less mainstream topic that more normal people will probably encounter.

If you dont want a Xeon, you could get an i7-5960x for around the same price, but be aware, this is on the older haswell architecture and an older node, yes you can overclock it, but the 2667V4 will be more efficient
Props for the detailed benchs and the killer dark synthwave soundtracl (sounds like Dance with the dead)
I'm in the middle of throwing together an HP Z640 for light gaming and some other stuff. I opted for the E5-2690v4 because of its insane value proposition. 14 cores at 2.6ghz for about $40. Slapped 64gb ram and a 2070S in there and I'm happily playing 1440p games at a pretty constant 60fps. Sometimes it's a bit stuttery playing Warthunder at max everything, but not much, and so I had the 2667v4 in mind as a backup. Seems like this video is about to make the price go up though lol.
But before I do that, I ordered a second CPU tray and another 2690v4. Currently waiting for the fan to arrive, and then I'll have 28 cores to mess around with doing I don't even know what.
I think you should cover the Xeon E3-1270 V5. It has a decent boost clock and can be paired with cheap workstation boards.
Underrated channel 📣
I'd love to see a video on the E5-1660 v4. Give it an overclock and pair it with a decent quad channel ram kit clocked as high as the memory controller will allow and it could be a high ranker on the list!
A Brazilian guy did this comparative and the 2667 V4 was better in every game tested ;)
This content is really up my alley. Loving the X99 content!!!
Upgraded from the 6800k to the 6950x. With a solid overclock to 4.4GHz it can keep up in all games pretty much. And it can be had for really cheap nowadays. X99 was a good investment back in 2016 ^^
I chose the HuananZhi X99TF (Ver 1 with C612 chipset) and have been quite pleased with its performance. Originally bought it from the a non official site on AliEx and the order was not filled...eventually got a full refund with the AliEx process. I re-ordered through the official HZ site for $100 and received the motherboard in a few weeks. Then...3 months later...the initial "failed" order surprisingly arrived at the door. This was all during 2020 (covid), so I suspect the initial seller had supply chain issues and even failed to communicate/message. In any event, 2 x X99TF for only $100...a nice bargain. Both boards have performed very well...my office system is paired with the E5-2696v3 while the family/home PC is paired to the E5-2678v3.
i just got a mobo and cpu combo of this coming in the mail now. I got it the cpu and x99 lga 2011 mobo for $77 CAD. The cooler was $40 CAD separate. Pretty good performance for cheap.
Lmao I love this title (and the channel as a whole)
Love cheap Xeon content! Thank you!
Now do the 1650v4!
I'll send one across the pond if needed...
almost decided to buy this cpu. but can't remember why i decided not to. probably because of the pricing at my country at that time and also because of 3.5GHz only and can't be OCed. but i think after that i decided to get 2600x and now i have 5700x. with same mobo as my 2600x.
edit :
i just checked my local pricing. and yup i think it was the pricing. even now they are still trying to sell this cpu with quite a high price.
A tuned 9900k 5ghz paired with ddr4 4400mhz still competes neck and neck with ryzen 5000 cpus. Cpu from 2018
wow, this is the earliest I have been watching a recently uploaded video
All hail the old Xeons 🙌🙌
Really would like to see more power consumption figures, especially with current energy pricing.
I had bought a used HP Z440 with an intel xeon E5-2670v3 which has similar (actually slightly weaker) performance compared to 2667v4, even though it was 12 cores 24 threads
How about a video comparison of the xeon 2643V4 vs xeon 2667V4?
can you review the 2696V4, it's 22c/44T is quite interesting
These are still great CPUs, mainly thanks to cheap Chinese motherboards to put them in. Would be interested to see how the E5-2643 v3 holds up in comparison
I love the old Xeon 26__ series - but have been burnt badly with defective aftermarket motherboards. Which X79 and X99 motherboards have been good for you folks ?
Try purchasing retired enterprise grade motherboards instead. They are better quality than the no name boards being made now.
Even being older and having much less multi-threaded performance per core, it still beats the single-threaded performance of my i5-7400. That's impressive.
Interesting I am making an "I9 desktop" at the moment just got a 11980hk on a Chinese motherboard for 200ish usd. So I found the title of the video pretty relatable, I am looking forward to this one.
Edit I cant believe this cpu matches my r9 5900x in my main desktop in civ 6, I cant figure out why it performs so badly it stays sub 72c at 140 watts in cinebench r23 on 2 x 16gb ddr4 3600 cl18 ram, disabling a ccd didn't help.
It might be the ram. 3600cl18 is bad for ryzen. Get aida 64 or intel memory latency checker. Then check your memory latency, that’s ryzen’s weakness. Faster ram will lower your memory latency to ~55ns. I would try to run it at 3600cl14-14-14 and tune your subtimings. Mainly trfc and trefi

3600 cl18/xmp 78.7ns = 6.98 seconds
From my other comments I don't think it's possible for me to get any lower as 1.45 volts wasn't enough to drop timings

This CPU should achieve 66.6 and 69 FPS on cyberpunk instead of 1 frame short
Yes, but quad channel memory in the Xeon makes them so different. Overclocked i9 may come close. Still think the versatility of the Xeon and the pcie lane advantage is what convinced me and perhaps others to go Xeon. However, I’m not a gamer. Price performance metric at least I’ll go used Xeon.

Sitting on the 2660V3 with turbo unlock was thinking about the 2667v4 but didnt want to downgrade my ram to 2133mhz ddr4 ecc.
Some of the engineering & qualifying samples on AliExpress say they only work with ECC RAM, and I guess it's possible some of the 2011 v3 Huanazhi etc. boards might not support non-ECC. Probably worth checking before you invest, but yeah... this was regular non-ECC DDR4.
Also, v4s don't have a turbo unlock option. Not a big deal with chips like this one as it's only a 100MHz difference, but if you were hoping to run a 22-core 2699 v4 at 3.6GHz, I don't think it's possible.
@@IcebergTech my plan was to use a X99-RS9 with the 2667v4 non eng. Sample. Soo whats the chance i will be okay with normal DDR4?
@@dexsters5643 I don't want to sound like an authority on this, I have zero experience with Machinist, but every source I've checked suggests that MB should be fine with dekstop RAM.
The true Iceberg of good old Hardware.
I like your videos but please reduce the music volume ( mostly the rock). I almost jumped lol
Very cool. I "daily drive" a Core i7 6850K, and with Windows 10 reaching end of full support, I'm about to retire it for a 5700X machine. So the X99 will be relegated to non-Internet use for the most part. Just for grins, I've purchased a Zeon E5-2699 CPU to drop in. That's an 18-core, 2.3 GHz CPU. I don't need this "new" Xeon behemoth to be fast. I just think it'll be a cool thing to have at my desk.
I do have a Core i9, a 12900K. Someday, just for grins once again, I hope to pick up a 10850K, in my mind still the i9 to have even though it's old now.
Hey Iceberg!! What voltage settings did you use to get your 5960x to 4.5ghz? No matter what I do on my asrock X99 extreme4 I simply cannot get my system stable at anything higher than 4.2!
I had to take mine to 1.375v, which I'd read was the highest recommended.
I’m a i9 9900K happy owner🥳
Brian from Yes Tech City tested the Xeon X 5675 OCd to 4.5 GHz and the 1680 V2 OCd to 4.5 GHz paired with an 3090. I Lookd Up the FPS difference between them at 1440p at it seems, that they have approx. 15 to 20 FPS difference. So when i Look at your Benchmarks, the X 5675 at 4.5 GHz should be nearly at the Same Level as the 1680 V2 or am im wrong.
So in conclusion, is it safe to say that that E5 v4 Xeons with quad channel ram perform at about the same level as 9th gen intel CPU's? And at about the same level as Ryzen 5 gen ...?
E5-2697V3 for 23$ beast.
I'm running a 2699V3 with a few bios mods to run 3.2ghz on all cores and runs great though I want to try Starfield I have yet to purchase it
This is an intel i9, that’s right, we got one!
Xeon E5-2667 v4 prices have dropped drastically. I bought one for 30 euro. I actually bought motherboard, cpu, 32GB RAM and a cpu cooler cheaper than what the 5600X retails for these days.
7:51 Wait.. wait.. WTF does "Drinks power like a fish mean?"
I have never heard that expression ever before Iceberg Tech!!😃
"Drinks like a fish" is a pretty common expression, though it usually refers to alcohol. On reflection I should maybe have changed it to an electric eel...
@@IcebergTech It sounded good it just caught me off guard! I thought to myself, did he just say that to see if anyone will even notice?? LOL
There is a bios hack or something for e5-2699v3, which allows it to turbo to 3.6 ghz on all 18 cores, and this cpu is 30 USD on ebay. I think I might pick it up later for my x99 render machine I'm building.
would that consume a lot of power? how's the electric bills?
@@InstagramReposting still procrastinating that build because I'm running a 1080 ti with a 14700k, but I imagine it would be pretty power hungry, but considering it wouldn't be rendering 24/7 it probably wouldn't be too bad for me.
@@slerpn I did a tedious research server cpu should consume less power since it is built to run 24/7 in contrast with the concept built to run faster with high power for performance optimization, but I believe it really does consume less power.
It would have been interesting to see the i9 9900k tested against the Xeon ES 2667 V4. BTW what memory speed did you use on the Xeon?
i9 9900KS is a great CPU, I loved the KS variant but what is quite amazing is in testing a 13900k with ecores turned off and DDR5 7200 Mts is up to 58% faster than the 9900K with DDR 4000 MT/s. I measured this in both low and high core utilization. Very impressive the Intel leap 9th Gen to 13th Gen.
can you test the E5 2697 V3? a friend of mine that is a X99 enthusiast says is the best Xeon in the lineup because of its TDP
i saw like 5 pc's with Xeons in it for the price tag of 90$-150$ which is insanely cheap in my country
Would you say this CPU is as fast as the stock speed i7-5960X ?
I got a 2667 v4 motherboard and 32gb memory for £115 off Ali express and for the cost I can't complain paired with a 6600m and it's perfect for 1080 and only £300 I won't complain
Hey Iceberg, You should add Cities:Skylines as a game for CPU testing. Because that game likes really powerful CPU's. I don't see many PC hardware youtubers use that game. So I would really like to see Cities:Skylines :D
You highlighted the wrong CPU at 7:43. You highlighted the 1680 v2 instead of the 2667 v4
wake up honey new iceberg upload
What are the reasons for using Chinese motherboards instead of buying a cheap, well built, Dell or HP workstation with these parts? As I understand it, the later Xeons can't be overclocked significantly, which would be a reason for buying a Chinese board. When you get from aliexpress these things can be broken or unreliable.
Adventure! ! ! 😂
@@kendoty2463 lol
Another perfectly made video! Keep it up, you impress so much people with your editing and your ASMR voice :D
P.S random question, I bought a GTX 960 4gb (strix) for a budget , only costed me 30 euros + 3 euro shipping, was it worth it?
on this age. 4GB of VRAM is not enough. so for older games it's kinda worth it. but for newer games. no it's not worth it. 33 euros is quite cheap. but 4GB of VRAM is what makes it became cheap.
I also got a 960 4gb about a year ago and i paid roughly 80 euros plus shipping, so yes you made a good deal. Especially since it's the 4gb variant, which is less common👻
