As we say in my country: use the right tool for the right job. A dual cpu (not this one actually) setup with plenty of cores/threads are aimed for multi-tasking, a lot of containers, virtual machines and so on, not for playing games. Greetings from Brazil!
@@RestoTek yeah, I work as a software engineer and run several containers in my Linux box with docker. It's where the tons of cores/threads really shine. It would be nice to have a video on this topic as well, if possible.
should try this with the 2699. From what I've seen with these xeons, the base clocks don't really matter much. What matters is their boost clock speeds. the 2699 can boost to 3.6 megahertz with 18 cores/36 threads. It's what I personally use. Can't imagine two of them working together.
I'm running a zx du99d4 with dual 2699-v3 18-core cpus, 128gb 2133 ddr4 and a 6700xt. Modded Rebar support into the bios, removed a microcode and used the 2011-v3 all core turbo mod with 50-50 offset for the cpu and cache voltage. Sits comfortably at 3.3ghz under load and 2.8 under avx workload. One quirk I found was that i had crashes in dx12 titles with rebar enabled, set MMIO Base to 2T instead of 56T and it fixed that issue. if you do the Rebar mod/remove the cpu microcode then remember to do the Haswell USB3 Hotfix patch to it before flashing the file otherwise usb3 wont work properly and the pc will freak out if you put more than 64gb ram into it.
Thanks for the tip looks like you have done far more tinkering than I have, I've managed to get mine to 3.6 ghz but then it's mac Boost Clock is 3.7 ghz anyways. 2463 is less cores but higher clock speeds which I though might work for gaming a little better, I haven't found another xeon with better clocks that does not cost a fortune
@@RestoTek If i disable a few cores i think i could get mine to 3.6, with 18 cores it hits the tdp pretty quick hence why i have to do the voltage offset. Let me know if you come across any issues with your board and i might be able to help, i have done a lot of tinkering over the past few months with my one.
@@parliamentarian6598 absolutely I'll definately let you know, just wondering but have you disabled mutli threading, does it impact performance in any way?
i left it on, things that can utilise multiple threads definitely benefit from it. Try a cinebench with Hyperthreading on and one with it off,@@RestoTek
Seriously I had no idea what was happening 😂 it was a genuine wtf moment for me lol. I think I might do a video where I try to earn the Nikki Minaj skin 😆
@@RestoTek Too much pressure also does the same. I had a lot of issues in the past with one CPU because I kept applying too much pressure, so only half the ram (2 out of 4 sticks) were usually detected. To fix this, I usually had to take the CPU out and into the socket again. And to be gentle!
Yeah I played around with the jumpers for a while and managed to get both m.2 slots working but they were super slow. So in the end I just installed a pcie m.2 card and the speeds were much better
@@RestoTek on my board the top slot only runs at pcie 2.0 speed though so it tops out at 1500mbps, bottom gets 3500. i had to move all 4 jumpers to have it work.
Built a cheap HP DL380 G9 about 6 months ago. Dual E5-2643 V4's (decent single core performance), 64G DDR4 ECC Reg 2400 in quad channel, 512G NVME for boot, 1TB NVME for Steam (need a 2TB soon), 8 x 900Gb 10K in RAID 10 (getting 6.5 GB/Sec) 10 Gbit copper LAN to my gaming rig, and an old 1660Ti (still ok for most 1080P gaming). I'm using the onboard video for monitoring performance. Sound is handled by an Asus Xonar DGX. Sure it uses lots of power and the fans ramp up pretty loud, but stick it in a big closet and you are good to go. After configuration and drivers were proper I have not had one crash... rock solid stable and no complaints. All components were used/recycled aside from the NVME drives. I used PCIe adapters to get those working. They even show up in the BIOS boot order. Oh yeah, can't forget the dual redundant power supplies. It's a really fun build as long as you have ear plugs, lol.
@Steve_Larson wow that sounds pretty incredible and I like the fact that you didn't let used parts go to waste, like you said they are 100% reliable at times and still good to go! Interesting you used 2 psus though. I have a giant case I can use so I might do a similar build
@@RestoTek The real deal was the pair of Intel 10Gbps intel network cards ($20 each). I'm running them direct as a separate network to my gaming rig so it doesn't need an expensive 10G switch. You just need to set up the hosts file so it knows where to look. I have all of my Steam games backed up on the 4.8 TB RAID and when my gaming rig needs game reloads or updates it pulls them from the DL380 at nearly 4 Gbps (it's low on space so sometimes I have to swap games). It could copy faster but I'm limited by the gaming rig's NVME write speeds. I would need to run striped NVME drives to keep up with the RAID array. It's all automatic and Steam does all of the work figuring out what it can pull from the RAID array. Quite a bit faster than my 200Mbps internet, lol.
Given the whole concept here - dual CPUs - you need to show the all the Core Usage for both CPUs. Was it using the cores? Was it cross loading the CPUs or keeping threads together on one CPU until loaded? Etc.
I think I'm going to remake this video soon, had allot of comments around the cpu usage and I think I could have done a better job, will be the next video!
The frame buffers happen but can be stopped with frame caps and also stopped with an AMD software that caps frames automatically through dynamic analysis (meaning 115fps on one map, 100fps cap on the other). Its called AMD Anti-Lag. They also have Anti lag +, but thats only on a few games, less than 12 currently. So I reco either placing a solid frame cap, looks about 75-80fps for bf5 1080p
@@RestoTek I'm using windows 11 workstation edition and it utilizes both cpus fine i think win11 pro would work fine too. Just remember to enable Numa in the bios.
It's better if you don't consider the power draw. Passmark rated it roughly 25% faster single thread and twice as fast overall. Just bought a pair myself, and the Passmark rating is conservative as many people don't know how to properly configure their systems. 😇
thats well treated xeon processor, but as a hpz600 dual x5660 owner I fed around and found out a lot but some bios tweaks sometimes actually change how the PC behave performance wise, also after owning it for 4 years I found out I am not using it's full capability, as it's a triple memory channel (meanwhile I had 2x16gbs and one of them got fried So pc is hella choppy in games) xeons ain't like big gaming thing but it could do for a budget PC, but if someone's new to PC world and just wants a PC and that's that I don't think a xeon workstation will be a good option (unless you have someone around that knows a lot about PC or could use the internet/chatgpt to get the PC working well) good video tho I enjoyed it for real
I've been running a multi-CPU system as my daily driver for well over a decade and use includes gaming. Multi-CPU systems are a completely different animal compared with regular single-CPU machines. You haven't mentioned your BIOS configuration. Few multi-CPU systems support standard memory, particularly when fully populated. Leaving everything as 'default' and hoping for the best is a recipe for poor or unstable performance. Multi-CPU systems are expected to be configured for the intended use, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. For maximum performance attention must be paid to node and affinity configuration, otherwise the system will waste resources shuffling data around internally which will significantly hit the performance. For best gaming performance the system needs to be configured to keep a tight reign on what runs where and how within the system which is done by configuring nodes and allocating a specific processor affinity to a given executable. I have set up small batch files that automatically set the affinity for certain programs, such a games. When configured correctly, a give task such as a application or game has all the resources it needs kept a locally as possible and has exclusive use of those resources. This means that the specific program or game effectively has its own system to run on and everything else, such as the OS itself, is executed elsewhere. This maximises the performance and allows other things to be run with minimal, if any, impact on the main task. There is no virtualisation involved in this and any such functionality is, in my own experience, best disabled as it is not needed and costs performance.
@DelticEngine hi deltic, thank you, I have to say I think your far more experienced than I am, I was looking into how to setup affinity and I experimented with trying to get say OBS to only run on one CPU and the game I'm playing to only run on the other. I did turn quite a few things off in the bios but not much else. If OK with you is there a chance we could collaborate and I can make a followup video to this one?
I have been setting up my dual cpu system but can't seem to find any information how to actually set a task to only use one cpu or so. I have tried setting affinity manually with no success, the percentile lows still suffer from the latency. Can you provide more information?
@@Arthres I'm surprised you're having difficulty finding more information as there's quite a bit online. How are you trying to set affinity? You know it's a binary mask don't you? You could try getting the data sheet(s) for your processors and your specific motherboard. If you have a working installation of Windows OS then have a look at the affinity in Task Manager as that will give you key information as to what nodes and cores are available to be configured. You also need the block diagram for the electrical layout of your motherboard so you can determine what is connected to where and how so that when it comes to configuring the affinity you know which cores to allocate to which task. If a process requires to interact with hardware then it may be optimal to configure the affinity so it runs on the node actually connected to the physical hardware. In order for all this to actually work the BIOS/UEFI needs to be configured correctly so that nodes can be split and the machine isn't running as a single entity. This is a common error and remove and advantage from trying to optimize the machine. This, unfortunately, is where you get what you pay for in that the ultra-cheap motherboards have very little information available online making it very difficult to determine if such a motherboard is remotely suitable for what you want to achieve. The more expensive motherboards, such as proper branded ones, often have several manuals available to download that detail the exact capabilities of the motherboard.
I wonder, if there were a motherboard with a chipset controlled pcie 3.0 x16, if that would alleviate the latency. I was always told not to installed GPU in the second x16 rails of a PC because that one isnt connected directly to the CPU but since the poor 1% lows in games here are likely because its connected directly to one cpu controlled pcie slot but not the other. So variable latency when a core from cpu 2 tries to process.
@@RestoTek that's pretty much all you can do lol I do the same with weird parts. There's 10,000 videos of an I9-13900k and virtually no data something weird like dual xeons, or even the 5700G testing with ideal settings which I just broke down and did myself out of curiosity 😅 the curse of chasing obscure information
I have watched this video about a 100 times or so now trying to get ideas for parts for my build. I ened up getting the Huananzhi F8D Plus with dual 2699 v4's and 256gb of ECC ram. I cheaped out and paired it with a RX 6600m for the graphics card. the biggest issue I am having now is finding a cooling solution that still supports the LGA 2011-v3 plat form. I wanted to go air cooling as this pc will pretty much stay powered on 24/7. But the only cooling I can find like you is water cooling. Every time I seem to find a air cooler that supports this socket its either out of stock or over priced or had a model upgrade that no longer supports the mounting system. Very frustrating..
@craigharris9591 it's really annoying, have a hunt around on amazon I see uphere has a cooler that supports 2011 socket, unfortunately the cooler does not have a model numberwhich is really annoying upHere gaming High Performance CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes CPU Cooler, Dual 120mm PWM Fan PC Cooling for Intel LGA 2011/2066(X79/X99 Motherboard) and AMD AM4/AM5, D6SEK amzn.eu/d/bjOeRax

Hello, I have ZX DU99D4 and two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v4 CPUs, but only one is being detected. Both CPUs have been tested and are working individually. However, when both are connected, I get error 79. Do you know what the problem might be?
@@bpyt621 Maybe a lot of problems : the cpus may not be the same batch even if the same model, maybe a motherboard bios bug ( error 79 means bios csm initialisation error try full UEFI mode ), may need a bios update which is tricky with chinese motherboard, may be a ram fault so try to play with the differents ram slots. Have you ever tryed a bios cmos reset?
hello and congratulations for the video. I would like to know if a computer like this (double CPU) can also be used for daily work such as rendering and retouching. what can you tell me about energy consumption? Is it worth consuming much more energy for performance in line with that of a modern CPU? Thank you in advance👋🏻😉
I was surprised by the power consumption it wasn't as bad as I thought but yes it certainly more power hungry than modern systems. In terms of rendering and retouching what software are you using?
@@RestoTek Hello and thanks for the reply. The programs I use are the following: - CupCut - Photoshop CS “Winzip” compression programs and DVD to MKW conversion
😆 yeah it depends on what your using them for, I'm keeping mine for a future video maybe and seeing what performance I can get out of them before they need to be retired
Hello, I have ZX DU99D4 and two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v4 CPUs, but only one is being detected. Both CPUs have been tested and are working individually. However, when both are connected, I get error 79. Do you know what the problem might be?
I've had a look at that error code and unfortunately it requires some fiddling around to get it to post, I'd start off with one stick of ram for each cpu, then try and post. If it does not work the slightly back off the screws on the cpu cooler and try again, hopefully you will eventually get it to post
@RestoTek Mine is the DU99D4 1.11 or something like that. I also have 64gb of Atermiter ram which outlasted my shitty corsair vengeance ram in my other system. Anyways yeah I only get micro stutters in games like GTA IV and Borderlands 3
Haven't tried it but probably would work, you would need to get different cpus then I got. I'm guessing more cores are better for these kind of processes
1. Any of 2600 v3/v4 cpus can be used in a duo configuration. 2. Any of 2600 v3 cpus can be overclocked (v4 cannot) 3. Xeon E5-2643 V3 in particular is the slowest xeon in the world. It can give 10k multithread rating score. A single 2696v3 or 2697v3 for $50 gives 22k with a same single thread rating. 6 cores of 2643 is nothing unless you plan to play games only. Just confess that you've got it for free -) 4. A standard DDR4 memory must be 16 banks. 8 banks won't work. PS If you use a single 2696(7)v3 instead of duo 2643v3 you can take a single cpu motherboard (with 4 RAM channels), and an overall price will be less, so it will be enough to purchase PSU and a cpu cooler. An overall performance will be 20-30% higher
@sc0or I actually bought the 2643 lol, but it was super cheap around £20 for the pair. I also have a 2696v3 but I never really gave it any hard test with any games. I also have a dual socket and single socket x99 motherboard so I might give that a test as you mentioned. Would be interesting to see what happens across various workloads
@@RestoTek Indeed. Unfortunately nobody will make any tests in LTSpice -( I'm actively looking for an interesting solution for my workstation that can compete 7700X, 14600K, 5900X, or 12900K. For Linux, for nvme + sata raids, for multicore applications. Now thinking about 2697 v3 overclocked, or 2698 v4, or Threadripper 1950x, or even EPYC 7551P. This would be interesting to watch your tests, even if they won't relate to my activities ) Good luck!
@sc0or thanks man, the feedback is super useful! 👌 I think the main stumbling block is for those applications you really want low power consumption which those older cpus can't quite complete with, will think about it though and see where there might be gaps
If you want to try a dual XEON system don't bother with building something, case/PS/memory/MB even from the cheapest chinese websites will run you over 300USD. Old dual CPU workstations are dirt cheap. HP z640's are less than 200USD. If you keep and eye out you can get them with 32-64Gb ram and 950w PS and SSD drives. Sometimes the CPU's are not ideal but you can get any used E5 v3/v4 f0r less than 40USD, a lot are less than 20USD.
@@RestoTek I know. They are considered e-waste. z840's are great systems too. I picked up 2 for less than 300USD. Single CPU systems are even cheaper. They are fun to play with.
Can you please be more precise about what you mean by removing all the RAM and then adding it one by one? Do you mean starting the computer without any RAM, then shutting it down, adding one stick of RAM, shutting it down again, and so on?
@bpyt621 that's correct, of course I didn't wait until I got to windows that would have taken forever. I just made sure I could get to bios and then turned it off then added another stick. For some reason after that it all worked fine. PC building black magic!
Did you manage to get the memory to work in quad channel or just dual? Thats where im stuck with the same board with all 8 slots populated with 16 Gb samsung ecc 2400 dimms
I might be wrong but I don't think this can run in quad channel. I think each bank of 4 memory slots is allocated to each socket, so only dual channel per socket?
If you gonna test the cpu I recommend you use lower resolution like 1080p and low preset because when you put everything in high you are testing just the Gpu, this is a GPU test not CPU. There’s don’t gonna be any bottleneck testing in 4k high settings, you just saturated VRAM and GPU usage.
Thank you, I'll keep that in mind and see what the results are if I reduce the settings, thing is though if stress the gpu then would that not show if the cpu can keep up with the gpu?
@@RestoTek When you use lower resolution the GPu can push more and get more fps, so there is when the CPU work start because it needs to make posible that the GPU reach its maximum performance reaching the higher FPS without be limited by the CPU. And no. just use cinebench for CPU benchmark, HeavenMark for GPU, each benchmark is specialized to stress an specific component.
These dual CPU systems were wonderful when you needed to edit videos and the software could load all the cores. Since you can't really overclock them in any easy way, there kind of like a road apple. Sure its still good but who wants it? They still do Fantastic if you use your system only for casual gaming and a daul use setup where you do more work then games. If you LOVE to do video editing? Or live streaming? These dual CPU boards (If you can get them to work properly) loaded with the Maximum amount of ram still work PERFECT in a Live streaming scenario where you got TONS of Tabs open in Chrome and doing multiple video streams windows etc. But since you can't really overclock them? Just as good to go with the prebuilt workstations out there. If you LOVE to Multitask, these machines rock Gaming? I just can't say they are a good value overall with things like AM-5 $500 CPU's with a Slight overclock to them beating them out without any issue and doing it at a FRACTION of the power as well. Then you get all the New Instructions sets backed on the CPU's today as well that some of these older model Chips just don't have. Then there is I/O. Gen 3 PCI still works for the 4090 just fine. But Gen 4.0 PCI--e is the future proof right now that will last you for the next 10 years easy.
I totally agree, dual cpu systems are pretty cool and I loved building this system. It was great fun but when you break it down it can be a bit finicky to get working, power draw is much higher, you can't overclock, and overall the architecture is generally outdated. It's a shame but I guess there might be a niche out there that could have use of it
@parliamentarian6598 Hello, i want to make a similar config. Can the two 240mm aio radiators can be placed at the top of the case, does it have enough space ? In Which case ?
@z0rix55 my case in the video is pretty massive and I wouldn't have been able to fit 2 x 240mm on the top, would be interesting to see what @parliamentarian6598 comes back with

There is absolutely no reason to ever use a E 2643 v3 just use a E5 1680v4 it still works with LGA 2011-3 is around the same price has more cores and has a boost clock of 3.8 to 4 GHz and can be supported in dual socket systems and is an unlocked CPU so you can overclock it
@hyplex_ I'll have a look at that, might order it off ali express should be quite cheap there, watch out for a new video featuring this cpu. I thought V3 was the last gen that had unlocked xeon cpus
@RestoTek ok so I was wrong about some things you can't use it in duel socket I just found that out the hard way in my r630 server but it still higher clock speed and over clock able
@@RestoTek literally nothing I said was right at all you can't overclock it either The only difference is it has two more cores and it's slightly higher boost clock That's what you get for trusting chat GBT
@hyplex_ lol, yeah chatgpt can be dangerous at times lol, i think from memory there was only 2 xeon cpus that could be overclocked i think it was the e5-1660 and the e5-1680 xeons that had a unlocked multiplier
A pair of decade-old Xeons is a pretty terrible choice for a gaming machine. You'd be much better off putting together something like a 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen system for the same money (or possibly less). (Just for anyone else watching this who's thinking about going down this route).

Yeah the board was a bit sketchy and your right the 11th gen i9 is great value. In fact I did a 11th gen i9 build with a rtx 3080 and it was pretty awesome.
not the best choice of CPU, i would have taken the E5-2698 v3 its just 19,90€ for 36 threads @ 3,6ghz the best one is the E5-2699 v4 with 44 threads at 3,6 ghz, but its currently at 159€
I'm placing an order for the E5-2698 I think that is a better cpu setup, but in my area is £50 per cpu. Boost clock of 3.6 ghz is pretty decent for a xeon chip!
@@RestoTek then keep an eye on ebay if one pops up with a lower price usually that cpu goes for 15-30€ uhm i also notice now i switched lines in my list the E5-2698 v3 is an 16 core E5-2697 v4 and E5-2695 v4 got 18 cores the 22 core E5-2699 v4 and the 20 core E5-2698 v4 are still a little expensive with 150€~ a really cheap one is the E5-2697 v3 and still got 14 cores at 18€ but interesting anyway running them on a china board, but if you keep an open eye you sometimes see supermicro boards at a low price like the "X10DRI"
You got bad fps in warzone is because of your GPU and not CPU. Rx 6700XT just simply too weak for 4k. While your GPU is on 100% your CPU(s) only worked at 30-35%.

Tested a few games at 1080p high settings Valorant steady 165 fps while capped Rust 90 fps with hardly any drops Valheim was interesting as it was originally only 40-60 fps even with settings dropped but used the steam launch option -USEALLAVAIABLECORES and it went too 90-110 fps I’m experiencing some issues with valorant randomly disconnecting from game servers, and my microphone (hyper x quadcast s) just stops working randomly
It's pretty impressive what such an old system can achieve. I was using it for a while and I never really had many major issues. I played valorant for a while and it was fine. The only problem was if I took one stick of ram out the system would fail and then I would need to add each one by one

i left it on, things that can utilise multiple threads definitely benefit from it. Try a cinebench with Hyperthreading on and one with it off,@@RestoTek
what is the benefit of doing all that, how does your system perform 1 cpu vs 2 cpu? I do wanna add a second one to mine
Goes silent after 6:53 - 8:00 if watching on certain phones, not sure about on desktop.
Omg that's bad, I think yt messed up my video 😵
Same for pcs.
Same for tv 😢
Thanks for the benchmarks, I was dying when you said you didnt understand warzone jumping out of the plane with Nikki Minaj 😂
Seriously I had no idea what was happening 😂 it was a genuine wtf moment for me lol. I think I might do a video where I try to earn the Nikki Minaj skin 😆
@@RestoTek My impression: What the fcuk is she doing here. Its mans battlefield Warzone,aint singers.
its not the ram coming loose, its the lack of pressure on the cpu's causing ram not to show up
I tightened the screws on the cpu completely and then it didn't post so I had to take all the ram sticks out and reseat them again, was really weird
@@RestoTek its usually the pressure on the cpu that isn't correct that causes that
@2009numan it's weird because it posted fine when I bench tested it then when I put it in the case it stopped working 🤣
@@RestoTek Too much pressure also does the same. I had a lot of issues in the past with one CPU because I kept applying too much pressure, so only half the ram (2 out of 4 sticks) were usually detected. To fix this, I usually had to take the CPU out and into the socket again. And to be gentle!
@@RestoTeksometimes the board can warp depending on the screw placements
By the way to get the top nvme slot working you might need to move all 4 of those jumpers up that are to the right of the second nvme slot
Yeah I played around with the jumpers for a while and managed to get both m.2 slots working but they were super slow. So in the end I just installed a pcie m.2 card and the speeds were much better
@@RestoTek on my board the top slot only runs at pcie 2.0 speed though so it tops out at 1500mbps, bottom gets 3500. i had to move all 4 jumpers to have it work.
Built a cheap HP DL380 G9 about 6 months ago. Dual E5-2643 V4's (decent single core performance), 64G DDR4 ECC Reg 2400 in quad channel, 512G NVME for boot, 1TB NVME for Steam (need a 2TB soon), 8 x 900Gb 10K in RAID 10 (getting 6.5 GB/Sec) 10 Gbit copper LAN to my gaming rig, and an old 1660Ti (still ok for most 1080P gaming). I'm using the onboard video for monitoring performance. Sound is handled by an Asus Xonar DGX. Sure it uses lots of power and the fans ramp up pretty loud, but stick it in a big closet and you are good to go. After configuration and drivers were proper I have not had one crash... rock solid stable and no complaints. All components were used/recycled aside from the NVME drives. I used PCIe adapters to get those working. They even show up in the BIOS boot order. Oh yeah, can't forget the dual redundant power supplies. It's a really fun build as long as you have ear plugs, lol.
@Steve_Larson wow that sounds pretty incredible and I like the fact that you didn't let used parts go to waste, like you said they are 100% reliable at times and still good to go! Interesting you used 2 psus though. I have a giant case I can use so I might do a similar build
@@RestoTek The real deal was the pair of Intel 10Gbps intel network cards ($20 each). I'm running them direct as a separate network to my gaming rig so it doesn't need an expensive 10G switch. You just need to set up the hosts file so it knows where to look. I have all of my Steam games backed up on the 4.8 TB RAID and when my gaming rig needs game reloads or updates it pulls them from the DL380 at nearly 4 Gbps (it's low on space so sometimes I have to swap games). It could copy faster but I'm limited by the gaming rig's NVME write speeds. I would need to run striped NVME drives to keep up with the RAID array. It's all automatic and Steam does all of the work figuring out what it can pull from the RAID array. Quite a bit faster than my 200Mbps internet, lol.
Given the whole concept here - dual CPUs - you need to show the all the Core Usage for both CPUs.
Was it using the cores? Was it cross loading the CPUs or keeping threads together on one CPU until loaded? Etc.
I think I'm going to remake this video soon, had allot of comments around the cpu usage and I think I could have done a better job, will be the next video!
The frame buffers happen but can be stopped with frame caps and also stopped with an AMD software that caps frames automatically through dynamic analysis (meaning 115fps on one map, 100fps cap on the other). Its called AMD Anti-Lag. They also have Anti lag +, but thats only on a few games, less than 12 currently.
So I reco either placing a solid frame cap, looks about 75-80fps for bf5 1080p
Pretty much an i7 2600. I wonder if Windows 11's improved scheduler would help leverage the second cpu.
I'll give that a try! Need to see if windows 11 allows me to install it 🤣
@@RestoTek I'm using windows 11 workstation edition and it utilizes both cpus fine i think win11 pro would work fine too. Just remember to enable Numa in the bios.
It's better if you don't consider the power draw. Passmark rated it roughly 25% faster single thread and twice as fast overall. Just bought a pair myself, and the Passmark rating is conservative as many people don't know how to properly configure their systems. 😇
thats well treated xeon processor, but as a hpz600 dual x5660 owner
I fed around and found out a lot but some bios tweaks sometimes actually change how the PC behave performance wise, also after owning it for 4 years I found out I am not using it's full capability, as it's a triple memory channel (meanwhile I had 2x16gbs and one of them got fried So pc is hella choppy in games) xeons ain't like big gaming thing but it could do for a budget PC, but if someone's new to PC world and just wants a PC and that's that I don't think a xeon workstation will be a good option (unless you have someone around that knows a lot about PC or could use the internet/chatgpt to get the PC working well) good video tho I enjoyed it for real
The best way to stabilize FPS is to turn off Vsync in game and turn it on via GPU control panel.
@@sandorphoenix I might give that a try! Thanks for the tip
I've been running a multi-CPU system as my daily driver for well over a decade and use includes gaming. Multi-CPU systems are a completely different animal compared with regular single-CPU machines. You haven't mentioned your BIOS configuration. Few multi-CPU systems support standard memory, particularly when fully populated. Leaving everything as 'default' and hoping for the best is a recipe for poor or unstable performance. Multi-CPU systems are expected to be configured for the intended use, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. For maximum performance attention must be paid to node and affinity configuration, otherwise the system will waste resources shuffling data around internally which will significantly hit the performance.
For best gaming performance the system needs to be configured to keep a tight reign on what runs where and how within the system which is done by configuring nodes and allocating a specific processor affinity to a given executable. I have set up small batch files that automatically set the affinity for certain programs, such a games. When configured correctly, a give task such as a application or game has all the resources it needs kept a locally as possible and has exclusive use of those resources. This means that the specific program or game effectively has its own system to run on and everything else, such as the OS itself, is executed elsewhere. This maximises the performance and allows other things to be run with minimal, if any, impact on the main task. There is no virtualisation involved in this and any such functionality is, in my own experience, best disabled as it is not needed and costs performance.
@DelticEngine hi deltic, thank you, I have to say I think your far more experienced than I am, I was looking into how to setup affinity and I experimented with trying to get say OBS to only run on one CPU and the game I'm playing to only run on the other. I did turn quite a few things off in the bios but not much else. If OK with you is there a chance we could collaborate and I can make a followup video to this one?
I have been setting up my dual cpu system but can't seem to find any information how to actually set a task to only use one cpu or so. I have tried setting affinity manually with no success, the percentile lows still suffer from the latency. Can you provide more information?
@@Arthres I'm surprised you're having difficulty finding more information as there's quite a bit online. How are you trying to set affinity? You know it's a binary mask don't you?
You could try getting the data sheet(s) for your processors and your specific motherboard. If you have a working installation of Windows OS then have a look at the affinity in Task Manager as that will give you key information as to what nodes and cores are available to be configured. You also need the block diagram for the electrical layout of your motherboard so you can determine what is connected to where and how so that when it comes to configuring the affinity you know which cores to allocate to which task. If a process requires to interact with hardware then it may be optimal to configure the affinity so it runs on the node actually connected to the physical hardware.
In order for all this to actually work the BIOS/UEFI needs to be configured correctly so that nodes can be split and the machine isn't running as a single entity. This is a common error and remove and advantage from trying to optimize the machine. This, unfortunately, is where you get what you pay for in that the ultra-cheap motherboards have very little information available online making it very difficult to determine if such a motherboard is remotely suitable for what you want to achieve. The more expensive motherboards, such as proper branded ones, often have several manuals available to download that detail the exact capabilities of the motherboard.
I wonder, if there were a motherboard with a chipset controlled pcie 3.0 x16, if that would alleviate the latency. I was always told not to installed GPU in the second x16 rails of a PC because that one isnt connected directly to the CPU but since the poor 1% lows in games here are likely because its connected directly to one cpu controlled pcie slot but not the other. So variable latency when a core from cpu 2 tries to process.
Interesting I'll need to have a look into this, thinking of making another video around this
@@RestoTek good luck to you! It can be difficult to find info on these boards. I look forward to watching it!
@jerryknudsen7898 haha I know I've looked and there isn't allot, I just poke it and see if it does something different
@@RestoTek that's pretty much all you can do lol I do the same with weird parts. There's 10,000 videos of an I9-13900k and virtually no data something weird like dual xeons, or even the 5700G testing with ideal settings which I just broke down and did myself out of curiosity 😅 the curse of chasing obscure information
I have watched this video about a 100 times or so now trying to get ideas for parts for my build. I ened up getting the Huananzhi F8D Plus with dual 2699 v4's and 256gb of ECC ram. I cheaped out and paired it with a RX 6600m for the graphics card. the biggest issue I am having now is finding a cooling solution that still supports the LGA 2011-v3 plat form. I wanted to go air cooling as this pc will pretty much stay powered on 24/7. But the only cooling I can find like you is water cooling. Every time I seem to find a air cooler that supports this socket its either out of stock or over priced or had a model upgrade that no longer supports the mounting system. Very frustrating..
@craigharris9591 it's really annoying, have a hunt around on amazon I see uphere has a cooler that supports 2011 socket, unfortunately the cooler does not have a model numberwhich is really annoying upHere gaming High Performance CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes CPU Cooler, Dual 120mm PWM Fan PC Cooling for Intel LGA 2011/2066(X79/X99 Motherboard) and AMD AM4/AM5, D6SEK amzn.eu/d/bjOeRax

I've had a look at that error code and unfortunately it requires some fiddling around to get it to post, I'd start off with one stick of ram for each cpu, then try and post.

This is weird... i have the same motherboard and my dual 2699v3 setup doesnt stutter at all with bf1 or bfv..
It's must be some kind of mobo gremlin lol, I have to admit, it's a fairly good motherboard!
@RestoTek Mine is the DU99D4 1.11 or something like that. I also have 64gb of Atermiter ram which outlasted my shitty corsair vengeance ram in my other system. Anyways yeah I only get micro stutters in games like GTA IV and Borderlands 3
is it perfect to run an LLm or GPT on it? I'm thinking of buying specs like this but with 64GB RAM
Haven't tried it but probably would work, you would need to get different cpus then I got. I'm guessing more cores are better for these kind of processes
1. Any of 2600 v3/v4 cpus can be used in a duo configuration. 2. Any of 2600 v3 cpus can be overclocked (v4 cannot) 3. Xeon E5-2643 V3 in particular is the slowest xeon in the world. It can give 10k multithread rating score. A single 2696v3 or 2697v3 for $50 gives 22k with a same single thread rating. 6 cores of 2643 is nothing unless you plan to play games only. Just confess that you've got it for free -) 4. A standard DDR4 memory must be 16 banks. 8 banks won't work.
PS If you use a single 2696(7)v3 instead of duo 2643v3 you can take a single cpu motherboard (with 4 RAM channels), and an overall price will be less, so it will be enough to purchase PSU and a cpu cooler. An overall performance will be 20-30% higher
@sc0or I actually bought the 2643 lol, but it was super cheap around £20 for the pair. I also have a 2696v3 but I never really gave it any hard test with any games. I also have a dual socket and single socket x99 motherboard so I might give that a test as you mentioned. Would be interesting to see what happens across various workloads
@@RestoTek Indeed. Unfortunately nobody will make any tests in LTSpice -( I'm actively looking for an interesting solution for my workstation that can compete 7700X, 14600K, 5900X, or 12900K. For Linux, for nvme + sata raids, for multicore applications. Now thinking about 2697 v3 overclocked, or 2698 v4, or Threadripper 1950x, or even EPYC 7551P. This would be interesting to watch your tests, even if they won't relate to my activities ) Good luck!
@sc0or thanks man, the feedback is super useful! 👌 I think the main stumbling block is for those applications you really want low power consumption which those older cpus can't quite complete with, will think about it though and see where there might be gaps
If you want to try a dual XEON system don't bother with building something, case/PS/memory/MB even from the cheapest chinese websites will run you over 300USD. Old dual CPU workstations are dirt cheap. HP z640's are less than 200USD. If you keep and eye out you can get them with 32-64Gb ram and 950w PS and SSD drives. Sometimes the CPU's are not ideal but you can get any used E5 v3/v4 f0r less than 40USD, a lot are less than 20USD.
@JamesDeSimone-im7tz sometimes people just give those away bur they are such a good base to build from!
@@RestoTek I know. They are considered e-waste. z840's are great systems too. I picked up 2 for less than 300USD. Single CPU systems are even cheaper. They are fun to play with.
Can u do cinebench on this one?
Yeah absolutely I'll give that a try and get back to you all with a follow up video
hey should i buy a pc with 64 gb of ddr3 ram with a 1060 6gb gpu and 2 xeon e5 2670 for 100€?
That sounds like a pretty great deal to me, also the max turbo frequency is 3.30 ghz which is not bad for gaming
Can you please be more precise about what you mean by removing all the RAM and then adding it one by one? Do you mean starting the computer without any RAM, then shutting it down, adding one stick of RAM, shutting it down again, and so on?
@bpyt621 that's correct, of course I didn't wait until I got to windows that would have taken forever. I just made sure I could get to bios and then turned it off then added another stick. For some reason after that it all worked fine. PC building black magic!
@@RestoTek I tried this, but when all ram is out I'm getting error 58 :)
Did you manage to get the memory to work in quad channel or just dual? Thats where im stuck with the same board with all 8 slots populated with 16 Gb samsung ecc 2400 dimms
I might be wrong but I don't think this can run in quad channel. I think each bank of 4 memory slots is allocated to each socket, so only dual channel per socket?
I think you're onto something there , and no I'm not being sarcastic
If you gonna test the cpu I recommend you use lower resolution like 1080p and low preset because when you put everything in high you are testing just the Gpu, this is a GPU test not CPU. There’s don’t gonna be any bottleneck testing in 4k high settings, you just saturated VRAM and GPU usage.
Thank you, I'll keep that in mind and see what the results are if I reduce the settings, thing is though if stress the gpu then would that not show if the cpu can keep up with the gpu?
@@RestoTek When you use lower resolution the GPu can push more and get more fps, so there is when the CPU work start because it needs to make posible that the GPU reach its maximum performance reaching the higher FPS without be limited by the CPU. And no. just use cinebench for CPU benchmark, HeavenMark for GPU, each benchmark is specialized to stress an specific component.
@hectoralmonte2036 thank you that makes total sense!
These dual CPU systems were wonderful when you needed to edit videos and the software could load all the cores.
Since you can't really overclock them in any easy way, there kind of like a road apple. Sure its still good but who wants it?
They still do Fantastic if you use your system only for casual gaming and a daul use setup where you do more work then games.
If you LOVE to do video editing? Or live streaming? These dual CPU boards (If you can get them to work properly) loaded with the Maximum amount of ram still work PERFECT in a Live streaming scenario where you got TONS of Tabs open in Chrome and doing multiple video streams windows etc. But since you can't really overclock them? Just as good to go with the prebuilt workstations out there.
If you LOVE to Multitask, these machines rock
Gaming? I just can't say they are a good value overall with things like AM-5 $500 CPU's with a Slight overclock to them beating them out without any issue and doing it at a FRACTION of the power as well.
Then you get all the New Instructions sets backed on the CPU's today as well that some of these older model Chips just don't have.
Then there is I/O. Gen 3 PCI still works for the 4090 just fine. But Gen 4.0 PCI--e is the future proof right now that will last you for the next 10 years easy.
I totally agree, dual cpu systems are pretty cool and I loved building this system. It was great fun but when you break it down it can be a bit finicky to get working, power draw is much higher, you can't overclock, and overall the architecture is generally outdated. It's a shame but I guess there might be a niche out there that could have use of it
im trying dual 2680v4. will it be better then getting the 5600x?

There is absolutely no reason to ever use a E 2643 v3 just use a E5 1680v4 it still works with LGA 2011-3 is around the same price has more cores and has a boost clock of 3.8 to 4 GHz and can be supported in dual socket systems and is an unlocked CPU so you can overclock it
@hyplex_ I'll have a look at that, might order it off ali express should be quite cheap there, watch out for a new video featuring this cpu. I thought V3 was the last gen that had unlocked xeon cpus

@@RestoTek literally nothing I said was right at all you can't overclock it either The only difference is it has two more cores and it's slightly higher boost clock That's what you get for trusting chat GBT
@hyplex_ lol, yeah chatgpt can be dangerous at times lol, i think from memory there was only 2 xeon cpus that could be overclocked i think it was the e5-1660 and the e5-1680 xeons that had a unlocked multiplier
i liked the looks better before u sanded the heatsinks bro
Quite a few people said that to me lol, might repaint them maybe
A pair of decade-old Xeons is a pretty terrible choice for a gaming machine.
You'd be much better off putting together something like a 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen system for the same money (or possibly less).
(Just for anyone else watching this who's thinking about going down this route).
@derekgalbraith1508 it's not a bad shout, also power consumption would be far less, although in terms of cool factor I think dual xeons takes it 😉
if you want to work the CPUs themselves..go 1080p or 1440p..not 4K at 4K the gpu is doing a lot of the lifting not as much CPU
Someone else mentioned this to me also, it's a good point that I didn't realise before, I think I will revisit the dual cpu setup at some point

not the best choice of CPU, i would have taken the E5-2698 v3 its just 19,90€ for 36 threads @ 3,6ghz
the best one is the E5-2699 v4 with 44 threads at 3,6 ghz, but its currently at 159€
I'm placing an order for the E5-2698 I think that is a better cpu setup, but in my area is £50 per cpu. Boost clock of 3.6 ghz is pretty decent for a xeon chip!
@@RestoTek then keep an eye on ebay if one pops up with a lower price usually that cpu goes for 15-30€
uhm i also notice now i switched lines in my list the
E5-2698 v3 is an 16 core
E5-2697 v4 and E5-2695 v4 got 18 cores
the 22 core E5-2699 v4 and the 20 core E5-2698 v4 are still a little expensive with 150€~
a really cheap one is the E5-2697 v3 and still got 14 cores at 18€
but interesting anyway running them on a china board, but if you keep an open eye you sometimes see supermicro boards at a low price like the "X10DRI"
You got bad fps in warzone is because of your GPU and not CPU. Rx 6700XT just simply too weak for 4k. While your GPU is on 100% your CPU(s) only worked at 30-35%.
@imbot3804 I'll try it with a rtx 3080ti see what happens
I think Fhd or Qhd would perform much better
Yeah fhd and qhd you would get fairly good results. To be honest I bought these parts when prices were still rediculous so makes less sense now compared to 6 months ago
Kinda unfair to the cpu's to run at 4k with the 6700 xt... not really a 4k card, its more for 1440.
Those heat sinks look like shit , theres brush finished look and there’s a kid with a hand sander and that’s exactly what you did to those poor heat sinks that had war stripes on them lol. Anyways great video on the rest ❤
😅 I thought they looked better, the original heat sinks had chipped paint etc and I couldn't be bothered to paint them again lol, glad you liked the video tho, might do a prize draw soon giving away free heatsinks 🤣
@@RestoTek one thing about personal computers is that first keyword with in itself”Personal “ . If you like the outcome it’s all that matters .
I just built a Dell precision T7810 with dual Xeon 2690 v4 2.6ghz base clock with 3.2 turbo. 1 64 GB stick of ddr4 at 2400 MHz for each cpu. 1660ti for gpu. Tested a few games at 1080p high settings
Valorant steady 165 fps while capped
Rust 90 fps with hardly any drops
Valheim was interesting as it was originally only 40-60 fps even with settings dropped but used the steam launch option -USEALLAVAIABLECORES and it went too 90-110 fps
I’m experiencing some issues with valorant randomly disconnecting from game servers, and my microphone (hyper x quadcast s) just stops working randomly
It's pretty impressive what such an old system can achieve. I was using it for a while and I never really had many major issues. I played valorant for a while and it was fine. The only problem was if I took one stick of ram out the system would fail and then I would need to add each one by one

Short! Yes, they are really bad!♿
Test blocked by gpu?
