Awesome... Thanks mate.... I had a feeling the ol-1680 had finally met her match with these new cards.. but am stoked you took the time to properly evalute it for us.... I love my Rig but in the coming year, I'll seek a new platform to start the build process again... and just for "flex", my 1680 sits on a rock solid 4.5ghz at 1.25v.... Long Live the O.G - overclockers
I got a deal through work that allowed me to get an i9-9900kf for $210 usd, had to jump on it
buy it
@@jimglass4513 He did :)
Oh no .... Don't you know that Intel sucks ?
@@gertjanvandermeij4265 show me an AMD processor for $210 that performs better 🤔
nice
Bryan you forgot the best use case for used price:performance - tossing it into a Dell Precision or HP Z and using Intel XTU to overclock it! $100 T3610 or T7610 plus $150 1680v2 at >4GHz with some cheap 14900R memory is a budget MONSTER.
I will have to check this out next time I get one.
@@techyescity 1650 v2 actually might make more sense from a value perspective. At ~$75USD they’ll reliably hit 4.2GHz all-core on the Precisions, and put up Cinebench R15 scores in the mid-1100s with cheap quad channel! I’ve put together several of them as very cheap Ryzen-chasers.
There’s a thread over on the TechPowerUp forums for Throttlestop (and XTU) overclocking workstations, with some spectacular results.
@@techyescity Enter proof of concept: ruclips.net/video/GwSgcD12ZyA/видео.html
A lost-the-silicon-lottery 1650 v2 clocking in over 1050 in R15 at 4.2GHz. I suspect the 425W and 685W power supplies will trip over-current, but the optional 1300W doesn't complain.
@@NextMerckx Agreed. The cooling and airflow on these OEM chasses is IMO not up to snuff when it comes to the heat from an OC'd E5-1680v2. A E5-1650V2 is an excellent choice and at today's prices is a price/performance gem. At 4.2Ghz, these babies run stable and will last. Sure, they can hit 4.5Ghz+ with decent cooling, but on a low cost second-hand OEM desktop server, they are the perfect choice for an all-arounder that can do Hi 1080P gaming. Pair it with a RX 580 8GB and you have a little beast on the "cheap".
I've got an old precision t3600 with a e5 1620 that I'm having a ton of fun playing around with loll
Haven't been to tech yes city in a while. Feels good to be back.
Same, been like 3-4 years. Glad he's grown his channel so much.
Yeah the covid making us all save on tech.
I would love to see the unlocked E5-1680 v3 vs this v2 version. So that way we can see the impact that AVX 2 instructions really have !
100% agree. As far as from other benchmarks I've seen the v2 is quite a bit behind the v3
Im using this cpu in my system! Overclocked to 4.4 ghz on an Asrock x79 extreme 6 motherboard which, surprisingly, supports ECC registered dimms. So of course I got 32 gb of that running in my rig as well
Same here, but with ASUS P9X79Pro and desktop RAM (8x4GB HyperX Fury DDR3 1600). Board cost me US$20 (local purchase), CPU US$155 (eBay), and RAM US$120 (local purchase).
Imagine in 2 or 3 years when Threadripper will be in this category. You can already get some of those first gen CPUs much cheaper than MSRP, with an upgrade path of 32 cores!
Yeah but Threadripper has multiple NUMA nodes, yeah it is 32 cores, but its shared upon multiple NUMA nodes. Yet most software aren't NUMA aware and therefore unable to use the full potential of the Threadripper. And since its a lot of cores, the base and boost clocks will be significantly reduced which would cut the performance even more. And not to mention here, zen although its great, its has a worse single threaded performance.
@@cometxp not anymore
@@MrBearyMcBearface i said most buddy, not all
more like 5 years... but remember threadripper 1st and 2nd gen were *absolute garbage* for gaming threadripper 3000 changed the game drasticly but it will take a few more years for it and its motherboards to come down in price than 1st and 2nd gen TR
@@LinkStorm13 yeah man single threaded performance on the 1st/2nd gen threadripper is bad
Picked up a 2678 v3 thanks to your recommendation. Performs brilliantly. Even stock it out performs a Ryzen 3600 in Cinebench R20. Got it for $160 delivered.
I bought this 12C/24T CPU about 6 months ago for US$105 and I now see prices on AliEx for around US$85! The HuananZhi Official store sells a package deal (HuananZhi X99TF + E5-2678V3 + 32GB R-EEC 1333) for US$240 delivered. Also, recommend the TurboUnlock (all core to 3.2Ghz...all 12 cores). As an FYI, I found MiyConst's turbo-unlock guide excellent.
@@jb678901. Thanks for the info. Brian actually did a video on it not long ago. But seeing as this will be running ESXI for my home lab, won't be able to have any permanent windows adjustments made to it. Either way, big upgrade from the 5820k it was running before.
Its a very solid CPU that one, will be doing a build with it soon.
@@techyescity Love this one. I built mine on one of those AliEx vertical test benches, (the ALU red/black ones). Thru in a little RGB bling with the SNOWMAN + X99TF. Looks cool on the desk.
I was thinking about this old beast yesterday, you are incredible bro. One of the best hardware channels that I enjoy and learn a lot watching
Bryan, my favorite of your style videos. I like that you test these older chips out against the high end of the modern world. I am also not surprised by how well these older platforms perform. Considering they were the high end only a few years ago. Hopefully Intel's next enthusiast platform has as long of a life. (:
I appreciate that!
@@techyescity Of course.
Would love to see you put some x99 platforms through your benchmarks. However I agree the boards are hard to find at any semblance of a reasonable price, I got extremely lucky a year ago when I found an Asus X99-A II for $200 CAD, it even shipped from a Canadian seller, slapped an E5-2680 v3 in and use it in my Plex server.
Would it be possible for you to make a video on the i7-5775C? If it's still worth it in 2020 and all that jazz with the new RTX cards
I really enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming!
I'm still on the x79 board with a 4930k overclocked to 4.2 and a 980ti I plan to upgrade when the 30 series comes more into stock. Watching this video shows me that I won't have to upgrade the whole lot just the card for now anyway. And upgrade the rest later. Gotta love Melbourne's lock down gaming is all there is to do haha
what about x58 vs x79 vs x99? Or 1680-v2 vs 1680-v3 vs pre-1680-v2 equivalent, getting all AVX version tested?
Can you make a video about all relevant old Xeon cpu's with all the relevant motherboards for them for overclocking to look out for its all a little confusing tbh.
You would help me out a great deal there thank you :)
Small suggestion, Put in a modern CPU of equivalent performance in the benchmarks as well, for example a i5-10400 or some i3s that would be of the same cost.
1:57 I love Tech YES American Wrestler Accents!
More or less than the cute taiwanese girl at the service centre you took Bryan too?
@@pacifiststormtrooper8839 Lmao. She usually just speaks Chinese to me. I don't think she speaks English all that much.
I went back lately to get some GPUs RMA'd. I always tell her you guys say hi.
OH YEAH!!!!!!
I got a kick out of that as well. (:
Oh TECH YES! x99 x RTX 3080/90 incoming? I would LOVE to see that too!
This CPU eluded me due to the cost when I upgraded my previous main x79 rig, had to go with a 1650v2. Then when i built my ultimate HP Z420 Xeon rig, I had to settle for the still powerful E5-2667v2 8 core. Love seeing content on the 1680v2! Damn did the price on this CPU drop!
I'm putting an AliExpress E5-2667v2 into my z420 as it's the best CPU it takes. Going to get a 6800xt or 3080 and play at 4k. Your RGB z420 build is fantastic i might do something similar
mate im on ali express x99 right now..... cause of you lol! best bang for buck bro your a champ!
Same bro
@nunya this guy tho actually is trying to help people
X99 has become very cheap, CPUs and mobos, remebembering how expensive the CPus were not long ago.I saw a brand new Core Extreme 5960X for 100€. It was in an unused workstation, never aktive but testet. 5960 X is possible for 150€, or you have to have luck. But this morning i saw a bundle of an intel X58 Desktop board together with an Core i7 Extreme Edition 980X. It startet with 50€. I love intel Desktop boards. There are DX79 TO Desktop boards for 50€. They don´t have the vrm cooler at the top, i think that it could be cooler without it. They have a lot of this boards. But the Intel x79 Desktop boards never get an Ivybridge Biosupdate. They work but they aren´t supportet by Intel. But with an E5- 1660, mobo and CPU for 110€ together it is a nice thing, i think.

Love the video, good information.
Why are you not using your pop filter on your microphone?
The AVX2 on the Haswell's are great ... the 4770K (4 Cores) @4.4 GHz is delivering the same game-performance as the 1680v2 @4.6 GHz. Their AVX2 is about 35% faster than the AVX1 instruction set.
yes), they basically did this to kill the dd3 and old platforms, they simply cannot suggest anything significantly better and don't know how to make people buy same overclocked processors, and it is a Big big shame))!
What about x58? With sli in 2020?love my old evga x58board. Yay great video as always.!!
Tyc what is problem with z400 e3565
My pc is just freezez some time and giving me 5 beeps
Whats the problem plz help me out

true!)
Love the video mate, another banger, curious though, for the same 150 dollar price point, wouldn't a Ryzen chip serve much better?
I bought my Xeon E5-1680 V2
Same here, after I managed an ASUS P9X79Pro in mint condition for $20 on a local deal.
@@jb678901 A P9 X79 Pro is a luxus version of the P9 X79 with some big wifi thing an the drive of the lanes, or the slots where the lanes are driven are a bit different. I had them both P9 x79 several times an the Pro in two times, because i sold good x79 mobos together with E5-1600 Xeons, in most cases the E5-1660. These an 1150 Haswell. 20 Dolar for this mobo is more than cheap. The normal price is from 125-239€. But the P9 X79 ( Pro) reminds on the Rampage IV Extreme, with its stability in every way. I think when doing with E5-1600 Xeons than only get Asus, maybe Asrock. Because they never become defekt, if don´t make something thumb. they hold 20 years an another 20 years and maybe they never become defekt, why should they after such a long time working?
@@8iosatlost209 Yes...I love this MB even more now. I am taking care of it for sure. No BLCK OC. Dual RGB fans over the VRMs just for safe measure. I have used the thermal gun and can't find any hotspots above 40C during routine heavy use. I did throw and NVME card in the one spare 16x/8x slot where I need the speed. Also a BT5.1/WiFi card (AX200Pro) in the 1x slot...both to update the setup. If anything as far as upgrade it will only be a GTX 2080S/2080Ti from current RX590 (which I bought new in January for $170 before the virus hit). Sadly, XEONs are addictive.
Glad to see you looking at Mechwarrior 5 for benchmarks
I really like this set, keep it up :)
Hi, have you tried the differences with and without hyperthreading enabled. I am running X5675 on Asus P6X58D-E at 4.5GHZ, and I find on some game titles HT off is better!
ive got a i7 4930k at 4.6ghz with one of the best overclocking x79 motherboards, the asus p9x79 ws
Bryan, I have a 7990 dual gpu that can still get up and boogy enough, tis works okay along with decent psu, ssd and hard drive along with the older AMD 1100T so just need a MOBO - board for this CHIP - Reccomendations? I want to throw this build together for my nephew to do some light to medium gaming and just get him started on the web as well, he is young and just starting so these parts are just laying around my house thus again, I just need a good board with good chipset for the 1100T. .....Anybody know the best board/chipset ever released for the old boy = 1100T cpu so I can put this together for him? I do not mind spending a bunch on the board if it gets me the best overclocking possible as I also have a nice cooler for it already to ... I liked the small ZOTAC boards they have (seem to be the only ones) for the Phenom 2's as they are ITX(!) and built in wifi, for the time, thats great however I looked and those boards seem to be 95 watt max which would need a 1065T - 95 watt version at best as once move to 1075T and 1090T as well as the last 1100T they are all 125watts. Anyone want to even swap a 1100T for a 1065 95 watt version only - even up? ...Ideas on the BEST mobo, 1100T? Smaller be nice but its not a problem if its standard or larger, matx, just want it to be good too great, smaller would be bonus when comes time to buy the final part as in the case which I already have an eye on a cool sleeper case... as hes actually into that, being so young it surprised me but it is what it is... Thanks in advance and this is a great video. I am typing this from my 1650 v0 at a locked 6/12 .....4.9ghz all core using a dell (made by pny) blower style 1060 6gb on my 2K LG ULTRAWIDE 34 INCH curved monitor and secondary 1080p monitor - never a hiccup... Anyways, The ONLY issue with these great sandy and ivy bridge chips is (or at Last the sandys) with windows 10 at least, they can not hibernate/sleep without freezing sometimes after awhile, sometimes having the dual bios corrupt itself somehow and have to refresh itself even... its super annoying cause everything else is so smooth and buttery. I am extra irritated recently as I tried SOLUS OS (The best linux distro ever IMO and just works on boot, no drivers installed, dual monitors - easy transistion) and what do you know my 3rd gen sandybridge xeon could go to sleep or hiibernate just fine so its NOT a hardware issue, its the damn windows / intel collab to make it this way 'I suppose as they are still "too good" , for to long in thier eyes prob... I am trying caffiene now but wish it just worked the-way it was intended! What is windows doing or not doing that solus is, I mean c'mon man! HAH... All this time I thought it was a hiccup in the gigabyte assasin 2 mobo, its NOT... Its a widespread problem people been trying to work to fix fully since 2013 all the way until today if google it correctly, insanity! ..... That leaves out the part on how many folks just got rid of thier system because of it and how many think it is some other issue as it can be tricky to realize whats happening....
Love the tech yes content
1680v2@4.5GHz still has good gaming performance. BTW, your pop-filter's on weird looking position 😉
Great video, as someone who only has a 1650 xeon in his X79 (as of today!), I am very tempted to give the system a last squirt of life before I retire her under the bed as I can pickup this 1680 v2 CPU for 85 dollars now. Its basically the best CPU that you can buy for the X79.
Money is tight atm and I only have a 6gb rtx, but I think if I upgraded to the 1680 V2 and give its a mildISH overclock, I would have 70 percent better benchmark scores AND if I trade in this GPU and update it for something with 8GB and add a 100 dollars or so maybe 2080 super or 6600 xt or 6650 xt) (I'm british but speaking in dollars) I could have a nice boost to my system for about 175 dollars, which seems much more appealing that spending close to 1000 to do a proper upgrade.
My 1650 does about 8000 in passmark, the 1680v2 in stock form does about 12800. (cpu benchmark DOT NET)
With a fairly mild overclock, that should be possible to up to about 14500-15000, which is nearly double my existing CPU.
Add in another 25% on the GPU and I honestly think for less than 200 dollars and no hassle I could be rocking the X79 platform for a fair bit longer.
With the amount of graphic options in games, you can actually turn a lot of the effects down and still retain good FPS and lose not a lot of quality.
The obvious route is to move onto ryzen or something, I get it probably makes more sense (lower TDP), but I like the idea of showing a bit of loyalty to the system that has served me so well for 10 years now and not spending much to get a decent boost right now.
Thanks for the 1680 v2 vids, you defo convinced me to consider going there, even at the start of 2023.
If I can hold back as long as possible on the upgrades so when I do the big upgrade I can get the much newer stuff like AM5 and hopefully have a system which will serve me for another 10 years, minus the 4-5 year GPU upgrade.
I know this is a 3 year old video, but I had to give a shout out for the superb old Asus X79 boards. I've got several and they are AWESOME.
I recently upgraded my x99 build i7 5820k 4.3ghz 32gb ddr4 2666 cl12 quad channel with an rtx 4070ti super and a 4k screen, and honestly the only titles that pushes the cpu at it's limit are Starfield and The last of us part 1 where the gpu utilisation could sometimes drop @ around 90% or even 80% but never below 60 fps average
got a X99 UD4 running a Xeon 2690 V3 on it with Turbo Unlock and 103MHz Blck @3.6GHz in total and its a beast and i payed only 200 Bucks for it ^^
GR8 deal.
I got an i74930k in an x79 (asrock extreme 6) mobo with a ram memory problems Idk what it is but the channels don’t work I’ve tried like every configuration with 2,4 or even 8 sticks but only some random config works (4 sticks randomly placed 16gb total) and then I can’t overclock cause it doesn’t boot after I apply it. I really wanna try overclock to extract some last performance soo if u know abt it plz help thanks
read some basic overclocking manuals dude), it is timings and frequency of the memory, that some of your memory chips cannot bare, you need to set the timings and frequency suitable for all the memory chips you use together).
I have a E5-2630 V2 and a Chinese X79/lga2011 motherboard on the way. Will Windows 10 version 1809 work or do I have use a older version?
What board did you get? I have a 4627 v2 8 core 8 thread ivy bridge x79 xeon I am trying to put to use whether with a one cpu or even two cpu setup - maybe a cheaper chinese knock-off MoBo or USED board that is def going to WORK... Thanks & GL with yours...
I have had no issues with Win10Pro latest versions on the HuananZhi X79 deluxe + E5-4627V2 (same for the X99TF+ E5-2678V3, for that matter).
I'm a long time Tylersburg X58 OC'r & loved it but I had to admit, even 1st gen Sandy Bridge (E5-1660) was nice improvement on my trusty ASUS P9X79-E WS & DDR-2400 Cl10. 4.3Ghz out the box XMP with TPU enabled. i was like wow! but then onto the 1690-v2. My mobo never officially supported it but it works w/ BIOS v1203 - 1704. But for us blokes who did drop some quid on this, make use of it (£1,200). It's tempermental on mine but OC's fair & temps not bad coming from a 4.6Ghz 1660 on air.
I agree, Keeping these CPU's u over 4.2 needs a good mobo and power control & cooling. i'm impressed to add that even at a respectful 4400 daily that ASUS S4/S4 works. Never did on any of X58's (REII/IIIE, P6X58-E WS & P6T WS) at anything out of a mild OC. Simple featue we take for granted.
why are 980 ti's still 200 dollars? the 30 series product stack or the 20 series didnt really put a dent in the 9 series.
Thanks Brian. So would you recommend for budget consumers tongonwith that e5 2620 v3 xeon hack (6 core) or 2640 be (8 core)... or a different route altogether?

used xeons were brilliant , and alot of fun , but the prices for mobos are stupid , you can get a r7 1700 pro and a x370 mobo for under a 150 bucks and it will be faster and more efficient
Ryzen has been great for the market. I wish the GPU market would have the same disruption. Though the 1680 v2 is more an exotic, definitely not a value play on the Xeon Front.

Some of the brand new Chinese X79 and X99 boards are pretty decent and come in at $100 or less. You can't get the absolute most out of the chip with the X79 ones due to no voltage control, but I had my 1650 v2 at 4.2GHz no problems on an X79 Turbo. The X99 ones, especially the Huananzhi TF and F8, are even better and DO have voltage control, allowing you to get up to 4.5-4.6GHz. The Haswell Xeons really aren't much more expensive either, at least where I live, plus you also have the consumer i7s as an option like the 5960X.

Why not Ryzen 7 1700? it's only 110$ on Aliexpress and its also 8 Cores 16 Threads and a great upgrade path
What CPU supports DDR2 PC2-5300 16 Gb ECC RAM? What type of system matches with this stuff?
Mr Tech YES City I have a i7 3820. And I upgraded to the 1680v2 a bit because if this review. 😉
I have a 3820 as well and I'm deciding between a 2697v2 and the 1680v2, how are your framerates in csgo?
More people getting into content creation each day, so i think you should start showing like blender benchmarks and whatnot especially for cpus like these. budget workstation anyone?
Hey Brian,
Was wondering if you tested CSGO on it? im curious to see how much the cpu will bottleneck it
I think this cpu is great for people who only really play older games so the avx 2 workloads wont affect them
Can you make video with e5 2689 and new rtx 3 series gpu?
Is this CPU good for emulation? I have a Core i7 3960X @ 4.4GHz + 32GB 4x8GB 2400MHz and I still can't play on RPCS3, Yuzu or Xenia properly.
Bryan, remember, the 3930K *was* an 8-core, just with 2 cores disabled (check original reviews). So Intel had already been holding back for some time; they could have released a consumer 8c for X79 anytime, they chose not to since back then AMD could barely compete with the 2500K. Later XEONs as you say proved what was possible for the X&9 socket; consumers got screwed early on.
The real takeaway from the results though is that, if one believed those who love to diss older hardware, what you observed should not be possible. Older systems are far more potent than most people realise.
@Charles Clarke Indeed, yes I know (though most later 3930Ks will happily do 4.7 or 4.8); I have three R4Es, with a 4930K (also at 4.5), 4820K and 3930K, plus a P9X79 WS with 3930K (and 4x GTX 580 3GB), a P9X79-E WS with a 4960X, another -E with a 2680 v2 and lastly a standard P9X79 WS again with a 2680 v2. Not in use atm are four more 3930Ks, a 3970X and some other XEONs. I've done a lot of stuff with X79. :} Here's the WS with the 580s:
www.sgidepot.co.uk/misc/3930K_quad580_13.jpg
Note btw much of my testing was done with high RAM capacity setups. I was one of the very first to achieve a high oc on a WS with a 3930K and 64GB RAM @ 2133. ASUS helped me do it, needed some non-standard tweaking (they said no tech reviewer had used so much RAM; I was building a rig for a solo pro who used AE).
I had another WS but I donated that to the Learn Engineering channel, also with a 2680 v2:

@Charles Clarke It's completely nuts. :D The oc on the 3930K isn't huge, only 4.7, but the key part is the system has max 64GB RAM @ 2133, that was tricky to get stable, especially with four GTX 580s @ 900MHz. It was for researching CUDA performance for pro apps, the 580s being faster back then than two Titan Blacks, and especially strong for FP64. One pain though was the MSI 580s are just sligthly wider than 2 slots (by about 1 or 2mm), making it a real pain to fit them in, with of course barely any airflow for the upper three cards, despite the 4 intake fans. If they were on water loops they could run much faster, the model in question reaching 1GHz core in most cases.
Oh, I forgot, I have another WS board with a 3930K and 64GB, the original pro app build I did for someone in 2013, now returned as I upraded his setup back in January to a 2700X on an Asrock X470 Taichi, again with 64GB but now at 3200. Better performance than the 3930K was at 4.7, but without any oc needed, so more efficient, better stability, etc. (after being hammered for 7 years with After Effets alongside three GTX 580s, the 3930K was beginning to degrade).

why not put the Ryzen 5 3600 in the bunch here just to see how it compares cause a lot of people are like Xeon or Ryzen 5 which should i buy?
1680 v2 Xeon makes no sense, you can get the same performance from second hand ryzen 1800 or 2700, by the time you buy the 1680 v2, DDR3 modules, motherboard, and a powerful cooler as you suggested then you might as well go second hand ryzen 1800 or 2700.
True.. if core for core performance is key... but latency and reliability are the key points over the ryzen... besides its a bit like having a resto-mod car... it would make more sense just to buy the new factory model, yet sometimes you just want the old shape... f.y.i:- my 1680 system with 5700xt gets a 3dmark timespy score of 9791... You've gotta have a hell of a 2700 overclock to come close....
I think the point is that many people already have or can acquire cheap DDR3, which in quad channel and low latency is a cost benefit. Same for the PSU and Cooler. However, if you have to start the build from scratch, then yes, a Ryzen platform makes a lot of sense...or at least it did before recent market prices make Ryzen a premium choice overall.
DDR3 is cheaper, the Xeon supports more RAM, more PCIe lanes, a higher end platform that generally has more expansion and connectivity, and in certain workloads the better latencies and single core performance on the 1680 V2 would lead to much better performance. I use a 3700x right now and I would never have purchased Zen or Zen+ CPUs because of those deficiencies.
Isnt the pop filter meant to be facing the front of the mic??
I think the 1650v3 is the go if they are cheap enough because I’m noticing the used market is still inflated at the moment in Australia
yes man do video on the v3&v4 cpus
Seven years on and this thing is still a viable gamer. Amazing.
Can you redo this 1680v2 testing with the new amd 6000 gpus when they release later this month or next when review samples go out? Thinking I might go amd if it's decent.
Hi! If you have some time, could you make a short video with the same bios and the same processor for an OC up to 4.4, please 🙏🏻 have a nice day ! (Sabertooth x79 // xeon e5 1680 v2) 😭
I'm currently running a system with a 1680 v2 at 4.25ghz and 16gb quad-channel at 2400mhz using a 112.5mhz BCLK and loving it! I'd clock my CPU higher but I need to improve the cooling in my system otherwise the CPU temp can go over 80c under load. I'll probably start off by getting new case fans and THEN get a new CPU cooler because I want to make sure overall system cooling is maximized first. I'm using a Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P, which, although decent, just isn't enough for this CPU to really push it. Although considering how I got the cooler in nearly perfect condition from a certified eBay refurbisher for only $30, I definitely can't complain. Who knows, maybe just adding some better fans to the cooler and to the case will make just enough difference.
I would avoid the motherboard stresses from the BLCK OC and go for Bryan's OC tutorial (using the X79 ASUS ROG IV). Worked for me. 4.4Ghz / 1.281 V with 100MHz BLCK on the ASUS P9X79Pro. Temp are excellent. At idle, it runs around 9C over ambient; currently 29C. With Prime95 (Vers.26.6 with default settings) it maxes out to 79C on CPU Package Temp. Unit is air cooled by a PCCooler GI-D66A.
@@jb678901 Yeah, but here's the thing. From what I've read, increasing the BCLK increases the frequency of the CPU cache whereas the multiplier does not. At least that's what I've been lead to believe. I haven't actually run any Cache based benchmarks to test that out yet. Besides, I've actually gone up to 125mhz BCLK before. It even passed 2 runs in Cinebench R20 so I thought it was stable until it finally gave me a BSOD several hours later. So, since that is my VERY upper limit, I think I'll be perfectly fine at 112.5mhz.
@@CryptoJordanVR very interesting if it makes 1680v2 faster vs 100.100 bclk
@@car1o yeah actually since then I've opted to do only a very mild bclk overclock just to get that little bit of a boost over multiplier stability is very important. Also now I'm using a noctua nhd15s that I got used and installed the Arctic fans on
How about the chinese x99 with a nice cpu?
Just watching this for the second time and one thing you didn't mention is that this processor supports a disgusting 40 PCI-e lanes, has a ridiculous 32MB cache(huge for its age) and 59GB/s memory bandwidth. Absolutely overkill what Intel made back in the days. Even if you could run this stable at 4GHz, it's worth the purchase in my opinion.
Today you can benefit from that overkill of 40 PCI E lanes, expanding your system with nvmes over pcie ;)
i got 2 months ago a xeon 2689 , mb and 32 gb 128€, i decided because i had 2 cores haswell cpu, and price by price fits my needs and is the best price performance.
100% worth for now
ty !! you have answer my question pretty good
great analysis!
I have a Aorora R4 would this work with the xeon CPU?
Hey bro is it worth getting a ryzen 3600 for a decent gaming pc?
you should do more on x99 and overcloclocking guides like you did with x58! ive got a 5960x that will do 4.7 but WONT oc ram at all.
PS, my GTI and corrado are both manual....
pls can u try newer xeons(like v3/v4 and v5)
I was really just watching one of your old xeon builds
which games is there a difference between AVX1 and AVX2?
What do you think about xeon E5 2689. ?????
Old Xeons never die, they just become budget bangers ✌️
They dead now bro.
Xeon v3 have avx2 instructions compared to v1 and v2 with only avx instructions
And the 1600 V3's still have an unlocked multiplier, but Intel locked them down in the V4's.
Was a shame that they locked down the 2600 series, as boards like the EVGA SR-X was designed for overclocking 2 of them, and was already being produced when Intel locked the multipliers. I could just about imagine a pair of 2697-V2's! 24 cores at 4.5GHz+.
what do you think a $300 combo xeon 1680v2 + Asus Sabertooth?
Love how you prove old stuff still works for most people
out of curiosity how is the inboard audio on these older mobos?
Is this the only overclockable Xeon for the X79? Been trying to find a list but no luck. Thankful for any help
1650, 1660, 1680 and possibly 1620 both v0 and v2 should be overclockable. However I would look it up before purchasing. 1620 v0 may be partially unlocked like the i7-3820 (up to x42 then you need to use cpu strap). These xeons are mostly X79 i7 counterparts.
Could you test some games again with HT off?
Hey Brian I know this vid dropped a while ago but I am hoping you maybe see this. I recently picked up a xeon e5 1650 v2 and asus p9x79 le mobo on ebay, the seller confirmed that everything was working for them and is refusing to give me a refund so I am stuck trying to solve the problems I am having. Right now none of my drives are showing up in bios, all sata ports show as empty and I tried to use me pcie to nvme adapter because it shows that it can boot from pcie in the boot setting in the bios but every time I try to actually boot it shows csm errors or says that it can't find a bootable device. Any help here would be much appreciated.
I am not sure this helps, but I am booting (Win10 Pro) from an SSD and installing most programs to a 1TB NVME using a PCIE-NVME m.2 adapter. To me recollection, you cannot boot from NVME with the P9X79...mine is the Pro variant...but pretty sure this is across the board for the entire family of P9X79. I am just an enthusiast trying to help. Good luck!
