Hi,
I want to buy one of those combos on Aliexpress and I'm wondering about the differences between Xeon E5 and X series. Also whether I should go for X79 or X99 boards.
Also considering these points:
1. Whether ECC memory or non-ECC is better ?
2. There is a new combo with 16GB DDR4, E5 2620...
Or, Rocket Lake vs Ryzen vs Ice Lake Xeon vs Threadripper.
Consumer Ryzen and Rocket Lake motherboards come with 24 PCIe lanes: 16 for the GPU, 4 for the NVME, and 4 for everything else, multiplexed out to 16 or so. Threadripper and Xeon (Ice lake) boards have 64 or more natively.
But if you...
Project ilogic - named after the relatively illogical component/platform choice, and a short lived Spanish electronic group from 96.
This isn’t a build log per say in the sense it’s already built and running solid, more of a log consisting of all the part choices that led up to its current...
Hi guys
Its my first post here, so i would firstly like to say hello. Im a PC enthusiast and my job involves working with pc's so i know a bit about them.

Hi guys, newbie and noob here.
I have no knowledge in overclocking. Need arises as my 2.67 GHz Quad-Core's video editing capabilities are no match to current day heavy videos.
Hence, hoping to get some rendering punch by meddling with a Xeon e5450, which would be used on a Gigabyte G41M. The...

I was just looking at Tyan and Supermicro motherboards and noticed that if RAM is the issue, then Xeon is the clear winner: Epyc motherboards seem to be limited to 4 TB of RAM whereas Xeon motherboards go up to 16 TB.
So there you have it; now the question is, why would you want 4 TB RAM, let...
Ok, I know that this CPU and its counterpart components (MOBO, RAM, etc.) are quite old and I'm overdue on upgrades. But I don't live in the UK and I don't live in a country in which I can easily upgrade in my current situation (college student on a tight budget).
I got a Xeon L5430 (2,66GHz) on...
Hi all.
I'm in need of advice about the best way to go spec wise. I've been an Intel guy most of my PC life but Ryzen looks like its worth a punt. I'm not looking to build anything myself but want to be sure that what I'm after and requesting is compatible and i don't add any obvious...
Hi folks

Now i have been questioning playing a few games recently on whether my Xeon is handling games like it should at...
Hello
I have an older system that has been working well for me, but i'd now like to get the most out of what I have.
My original desktop is HP G5326uk
However the PSU has been upgraded and a graphics card has been installed some years ago.
The motherboard installed in this is a Foxconn...
