1366 X58 Xeon 5650

What a faff!
What' the faff?
So the Xeon 5650 is roughly the same performance as the i7 5820k ?
Been thinking about upgrading my 5 year old i5 750 to something that will last another 5 years minimum ... the only upgrade I think that would be worth the cash would be the i7 5820k but it is so expensive and over my budget.
I would be interested.

Nice....I'm inthe process of selling off my x58 rig...

Cant see x58 lasting 5 years
I7 1155 or 2011 if your wanting a system that will last.
The 5650 is the same clock for clock but they tend to max at 3.8-4.2 where the newer stuff is hetting 5hgz, so there the same clock for clock but there getting out clocked
There is around 264 points clock for clock @ 4ghz between 5650 and 5820k in cinebench...
The 5820k is faster ( it should be) over 6 year old tech....But not massively so. The 5820K will clock higher too provided you have the cooling.

Thanks for the input. My mobo is an Asus P6T Deluxe, currently running a i920. From memory, the highest bclk I've managed is 205 (I'll have to check my old notes), but the current CPU tops out at 3.8.
Anyone know if the P6T Deluxe allows x22 multi to be selected with a x5650? 22x 200 would suit me fine!
X5650 are currently available as 'buy now' for less than £50, but I haven't seen a x5670 go for less than £85, and x5660 don't seem to come up as often as the other 2. Not sure it is worth an extra £40 to go higher than a x5650.

silicon lottery.
just because the 5670 as higher multi dont mean it will clock better. looking round online for myself i fond that the most good clockers tend to be the 5650.
at the current price you can afforded to go through a few to find the one you want, you mother board dose support higher bus as you know with your current CPU so i cant see a reason why you cant have a good clocking xeon chip.

Well technically it's an additional 2.4Ghz worth of power.
400mhz over a 5650 I said

Sorry mate.
I thought you meant 4Ghz vs 4.4Ghz.
As that would be in total an additional 2.4Ghz worth of power.
You can select 22x but it won't stay above 20x for very long. Google "p6t turbo throttling" for details.Thanks for the input. My mobo is an Asus P6T Deluxe, currently running a i920.

But in practical terms though who cares if you are "outclocked"?
In terms of day to day use 6 cores @ 4GHz is a hell of a lot of compute power for a personal machine. I can't really see the demand for more in the next 2 years at least
There are other benefits to upgrading on the horizon if they matter to your use case, but I would argue it has little to do with needing more compute power (for the vast majority of users anyhow).

I'm pretty sure the Xeon 5650 would suit my needs for 5 years minimum and cost wise it makes sense than buying an i7 5820k, but it's the hassle of getting a motherboard and the probability of the 5650 and motherboard lasting for 5 years minimum roughly.
Knowing my luck the CPU or MB would die after a year.
It's only worth doing if you have a 1366 board though, I certainly wouldn't buy one for it (unless it's really cheap, like the server one mentioned earlier).
If the board goes it's going to be tough to replace. They are already 6 years old, and if you want another 5. 11 years for a RoHS compliant board? Excluding Nvidia cards, it's always been my motherboard that stops first!

Needs tuning, started off trying to get 4.5ghz. Got it to boot at 4.4 with 220x20 or 200x22, nearly stable but didn't want to push volts higher than 1.376 (actual), Intel XTU reported 4.4ghz during the bench (before crashing, so I wasn't seeing any throttling below 22x.
dropped it down to 210x20 for 4.2 at 1.36, working fine with below settings. Only spent about 30 minutes so far, and just brute forced my way to the OC rather than finely tuning my way up to it so will have more to give/less volts needed on some things.
Little confused by the CPUTIN having got so high, considering the Core temps are so much lower :/
Edit: Ok, seems to just be displaying the max CPUTIN as double what it actually raises too. Weird.

What's the point of all this OverClocking.... ....... my 400 quid Hp Z600 arrived.... threw in a graphics card, old SSD with an old W7 install, let it sort it's life out on boot and install what it needed and run Maxon.....
Bargain horsepower, hassle free and rock solid all day.... chuffed.
