think ill just keep it on 3.9 what vcore you think i can go to to keep temp down ?
play bf4 on ultra setting 50fps-70fps + ever better with this hex core

sadly all chips are different and temps affect overclock also

The only way to find out is to test and record. so if your stable drop the voltage by one notch and test.

The rule is only change one thing at a time. that way you dont affect other things.

BF 4 hates Ht you will notice it jumps threads a lot hence why no core is 100% loaded (test it with afterburned and see for yourself) I tend to lock games to cores so that isnt an issue.

Wow that's a fair bit of voltage going on there!

Is that OK at that voltage?

 

[KarlMcWade]

Only two cards (running at stock) currently plumbed in as I cannot run 3 cards with overclock as my psu canny take it captin !!!

that is for pushing 4.9

but yea its fine at 1.45v under high end water temps below 60

You mean 4.6?

Surely you don't run that 24/7?

Is that IBT stable?

whats is the point in threads if people done read posts before they post





1 need 1.45v + to post at 4.9 just cant make it to windows yet

In your post #222 it clearly shows [email protected] that's why I asked.

How am I doing temp wise guys? Bearing in mind it's a very muggy night tonight. Configured vCore in Bios is 1.30. Also, for some reason my xeon is stuck at 4ghz all the time, even when the CPU is idle. CX states enabled in the Bios. Any ideas?



Cinebench before with i7 920 @ 3.4ghz:



Cinebench after with Xeon @ 4ghz:

DiscoDave you need to change your IBT from standard to max memory or its not stressing it enough.

 

[KarlMcWade]

In your post #222 it clearly shows 4.6Ghz that's why I asked.

Yes it does, I was asked to run cinebench r15 and fire strike at those speeds by ALXAndy post #210

I was trying to get 4.9 when i remebered and just dropped the clocks

I added a more normal voltage for you validated. post #227

I like stable oc's much harder work and more rewarding.

Nice scores and temps Dave what cooling are you using ?

 

[Steeps]

Just opened mine, CPU "pins" quite a bit of discolouration and thermal paste covering a few up. Am I OK using a TIM remover on both sides or does it need more specialist washing?

edit: pics attached

Thanks, I ran it at maximum at the highest any core reached was 81oc. Sounds a bit hot or is this OK?

Cooling on air btw.

on air cooling thats good

whats the ambient temp ?

81 is the max its ment to run but you will never hit that kinda temps in the real world unless you run IBT etc

http://ark.intel.com/products/47923/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5640-12M-Cache-2_66-GHz-5_86-GTs-Intel-QPI

still running IBT on max and my temps are 62 ish

Thanks.

Ambient temp in my room is about 22. Tweaked the volts a bit more and now I'm hitting high 70's on IBT maximum. Sounds OK for me on air

So I have just installed a 5650 in my P6T se mobo....


Booted into the bios fine...started windows and got a BSOD DC WATCHDOG VIOLATION...

so I thought I would install windows again

Booted from DVD and went through install fine...when it got to the point of restarting the PC restarted and windows failed to boot.

The only thing I have changed is the CPU from my 920

Bios version 0908

I'm stuck as to what to do next....

All I'm trying to do is install windows 8.1 pro and the 920 was fine.

What's windows not liking about this chip? Is there something in the bios I have missed?

 

[KarlMcWade]

hi easy rider gonna be like q6600's all over again lol

update bios to latest of site

run the load defaults so the new bios can tweak settings and tables we dont see

manually set the ram speed and qpi speed low (1333 or less)

disable any power save features

manually set the cpu voltage to 1.25v

get a herons boot usb image and run some low level tests on cpu mem test etc

will check tomorrow to see how you get on.

good luck

Asus p6t working here at 4.11GHz

I have an p6t just like you and I was looking to buy a X5650 to replace my i7 920 but Xeons are not in the cpu support list for Asus p6t

How it is possible to work for you?

Hi, as long as your bios is up to date it will work fine.

Mine is uptodate 0908 P6T se

And windows will not boot .....?
