If you use a "50" tier gpu or lower and a cpu that's not power hungry, you'll be fine. But if your power draw is anywhere in the 400s then I'd look into a new PSU. Get *at minimum* an 80+ bronze from a good brand and be sure to get at least 100-200 more wattage than you need. Gold or modular PSU would be better obviously but that'll depend on your budget.

      To select proper PSU you need some literacy and common sense. First, find out TDP of your CPU and GPU and sum them. Then check +12V current rating of your PSU , and multiply them (i.e. 12 V x 30 A) . This result should be at least 25% higher than aforementioned sum of TDPs.

His point is that someone is selling (what I assume to be) a licensed copy of Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. That raises concerns ranging from Windows 11 refusing to update itself at some point in the future, to and/or excessive future support calls if/when Windows 11 stops working on that class of hardware. Unsupported Windows 11 on old hardware is a great choice for end users, but it's a very questionable choice for an OEM.

    the motherboard code readout "19" is most likely a DIMM error. When enabling "overclocking" it's probably looking for a dual or quad channel memory configuration so it fails. Also the 5950x supports 2133MHz RAM maximum, so could be a problem there. You may need to enable overclocking AND configure the memory in the BIOs before rebooting. Finally, you should check out Miyconst for a BIOS version for that motherboard that actually fixes the Intel Turbo Boost.

      Big issue with Old intel extreme Editions is people think those are worth ungodly sums even 8 years down the line. Found 6950x (Broadwell-E) for 300 -400€ and 5960x (Haswell-E) for 300€ used and sometimes only bare cpus…
      People even ask 200€ for 4960x and 100€ for 3960x those are X79 CPUs… Based on Ivy Bridge and even Sandy bridge…
      That is why you would normally find a E5 v3 or v4 Xeon paired with these Chinese X99 boards. Back in the Broadwell and Haswell Days Xeons shared the socket and would work on desktop 1150 and enthusiast 2011-3 boards. With 6th Gen and the Arrival of DDR4 with Skylake Xeons were microcode locked out on anything but Workstation boards…

Usually people that spend that much can't compromise when the performance starts being less than stellar and buy the new, way better, thing. Like a 10 or 16 cores/20 or 32 threads Ryzen or I9 ...

    I just handed down my 5960x, X99, quad channel 16 gigs of ram (4x4), and gtx980 to my niece. It was a beast that aged reasonably well. The heat that thing put off is insane when overclocked. While it did cost me my left arm new, its is still running like a champ. To be honest I sorta wish I just bought a 3080 for it instead of an entire new pc with 11900k. CPU wise there wasn't much of a jump going from 5960x to 11900k. But to be fair the 5960x cost 3x as much new.
    Edit: I just remembered my x99 had 8 ram slots with quad channel (i just never needed more than 16 gigs). 8 ram sticks is probably what Dawid's wet dreams are made of

    I'm interested to see what the easiest route is for OC'ing this rig. My first thought would be to see if there is a new/different BIOS that you could install on the MB that would let you make changes. Followed up by some better cooling and maybe a 3070....then you could get CP2077 on high settings maybe.

      Good luck finding that "new/different BIOS" ... I played around with a X79 socket 2011 AliExpress board back during the first lockdown, and the BIOS was a vanilla as I've ever seen. No BIOS update available from manufacturer (Atimeter, if I remember right) but an exceptionally dubious English-language Russian forum was offering BIOS workarounds so you could lock all 12 cores to 3200 MHz. I wasn't crazy enough to do that then, and with the current unpleasantness in Ukraine, I am certainly not going to do so now!

    Hah, this video looks like you had a hell of a lot of fun doing it; this is absolutely the sort of kit I love playing around with; everything works great; with just a few minor tweaks this could still be a very capable machine, even if not top tier anymore. Was recently using a 5930K, and with a cheap 240mm AIO that sits 24/7 at 4.2/4.3 GHz (I would absolutely feed the machine some higher quality memory if I had any lying around also, but alas 2400MHz, some 2993/3000/3200 with the better latency and quad channel would be a blast), so this CPU almost certainly has at least another 20-30% to give; hopefully eliminating the CPU bottleneck on the GPU (Haswell at 4GHz plus is still good if not top tier, until recently Intel didnt actually bump the IPC much, they just improved the efficiency so they could attach more cores, ramp clocks higher and higher, without it needing 500W to do it...!) which along with the RAM should turn out a very very capable RGB-puke machine; but the best sort of RGB puke; the ones that actually turn out to be capable and not just living by the RGB.
    An overclocked 5960X though is likely to kill that unsuspecting Gamemax PSU, the 5930K at 4.3 consumes something like 200-250W by itself :D
