4.3 GHz on a 6C/12T CPU using a $25 generic cooler. Not sure if you really hit the silicon lottery or if aliexpress injects steroids in their heatsinks. Favorite build from you so far!
I tested two Xeon X5670 and one X5675 with custom watercooling. They all blast easily to 4.2GHz (mild voltage), to 4.4GHz requires proper settings, beyond 4.4GHz is more silicon lottery but with a good overclocking motherboard and very good cooling 4.6+ isn't that rare (high vcore)...
Thanks Ozi! For me, this is what is so much fun about the older hardware - you can have a cheap gamble at the silicon lottery! It's also the exact reason I went ham on the x58 boards when I was hunting in Japan, love my x58 and Westmere Xeons, easily my favourite line up of all time.
Great build. I think the X58 platform is amazing. I saved so much money with an X5675 12gb triple channel ram and a real lucky find with a new in box gigabyte ex58 motherboard sat around in an IT workshop. With the money I saved I bought a hybrid 1080 ti. The card isn't bottlenecked at all at 75fps which is what my 1440p monitor runs at. It would be comfortable at 100+ fps easily as my overclock is 4.5ghz. You cannot dismiss this platform.
I Love car mechanic simulator only problem is i cant play it tried a few graphics cards with my i7 cpu and getting terrible frame rates i have the Lenovo thinkcentre CPU Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.40GHz Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28) Motherboard LENOVO MAHOBAY (SOCKET 0) Graphics 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (NVIDIA) tried changing power supply and installing a 4gb graphics card with no joy
So glad to see x58 still in 2017, it was people like you who inspired me to go with a x5650 back in 2014 to revive my aging i7 920. I used that system for 6 years overall and will always have fond memories of this platform.
This makes sad because I had to leave x58 (dying mainboard). I just love this platform (along with x79 and soon x99 since it's getting cheaper), and you've made me love them even more. Loved this build.
ivansky yeah, he's pretty generic really. Brian makes the best computer videos on the whole of TH-cam. Dimitri is pretty good too, although he makes fairly generic videos as well
For the comparison with the ryzen and 8th Gen Intel please put a 1080ti in there! It's a test I wanna see for half a year now, having my 1080ti paired with a x5650@4.4 GHz!
Just built an X58 build based on all of your rave reviews on the platform. I overclocked a x5675 to 4ghz, 24gb of ram, a 1tb ssd, and 2 rx580's... I'm absolutely loving this beast!
I never thought about it, but I paid about $756 for my I5- 7600K build with B250M Pro-VDH by MSI, 240gb ssd two other 120gb ssd's, 16 gb DDR4 2133 Geil EVO memory, RX 460 4gb, 500 watt evga 80+ bronze, 240mm AIO liquid cooling, mid size case with mounting for liquid cooling and windows 10 pro, plus all three drives are SATA 3.0! I love watching you shopping and building in different locations!
I had an X5660 @ 4.6 ghz, amazing value and performance! Unfortunately my motherboard died after a while. Anyway, you should bench this with the 1080ti against ryzen, 7700k, 8700k and an i9. Im really curious about the difference between then!
I got an x5680 for $19 off ebay the other day. This platform is still relevant in 2022 pretty insane. Got a Snowman mx-6 for $15 off aliexpress keeping my xeon cool overclocked to 4.4ghz. 24gb of ram is still plenty for a long time. The x58 platform was so ahead of its time. This build really deserves a proper case for such beautiful components.
i found an x58 at a scrapyard and had it for a year looking for somebody in 2017 to make a video about it and once i checked my yt notifications i finnally found the x58 video i been looking thank you
cmoneytheman Mine games pretty well with my 980ti no big bottlenecks. It games way better then the FX 8320 it replaced. I never had my Xeon overheat by any fault of its own. My case didn’t have good enough air flow for my Xeon and a overclocked 980ti. After opening the side my processor never went above 60c. Mines cooled by a Noctua DH14.
bclk 200, 23 multi, 1.45v, c1e enabled, 3400mhz uncore, i run this thing with a 360mm AIO, previously with a hyper212 evo. I plopped this X5675 in a few months ago from my previous x5650 that didnt clock as high (4.4 with 1.42v, but did 2 core turbo to 4.6) and ran that for about a year and a half, chip is still great, clocks the same and all. These chips are tough, only thing that really degrades them are high voltages on the QPI/vtt (over 1.35v per intel max spec)
nice i currently have an x5650 that was at 4.5 but dropped down to 4.4 for 1600mhz ram and the temps where to high same ips as my 2600 (nonK) @ 4.1 did well over 1.35 on the qpi due to an locked uncore multiplayer for years but finally solved that can confirm that degradation did happen keep it under 1.35v they will last an while. though coffie is now pulling over 50% ipc gains I am now tempted to do an system update.
Impressive. I'm still on the fence of going past the max spec'ed VID of 1.35V myself, but a lot of people like yourself seem to run fine above that as long as things are kept cool. The Gulftown i7s which are pretty much the same part I think are spec'ed up to 1.375V, so who knows what's going on there. But at 1.45V I feel like you could get more out of it though, I have my X5670 at 4.4Ghz on my Gigabyte X58A-UD3R with the following: LLC - Level 2 VCore - 1.35V QPI/Vtt - 1.335 CPU PLL - 1.98V IOH and QPI/Vtt PLL - 1.18V ICH - 1.14V
This is basically my PC, except for the case... I got a X5650 @4,0 with a 780 AMP and 24GB RAM, my cooler is a nh-d14 which i got for 15€ probably a bit better than the chinese one you got :) Will need to upgrade the GPU soon because of my 1440p monitor... the 780 struggles with PUBG at that resolution...
he might already got on the sweet spot on his chip. Got a X5460 and while I can easily run 3.9 GHz @ 1.32v but for 4.1 GHz I already need 1.4v Similar on my 3570K: For 4.3 GHz i can work with 1.24v, but füor 4.6 GHz I'll need 1.32v
HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul X5460 is a 45nm, X5670 is a 32nm Westmere. A good Xeon Westmere CPU does 4GHz with stock vcore. Sweetspot is at 4.25~4.4GHz
Detmer, the CPU has to be 100% stable, everything above 190Mhz BCLK doesn't work all that well, I use it @1,35V 190FSB with multi on auto (ie. idle 2,2GHz, normal 3,8GHz and boost 4,0GHz) I can run cinebench well above 4,3GHz if i want (@ ~1,45V) but since i use the rig for gaming and encoding i preffer to have a huge safety margin with clocks and voltage... Because the worst thing that could happen is that the system crashes after ~8 hours of encoding/appliying some sort of image correction (for example stabilization), because that would force me to start all over again :(
Rule number 1: Don't cheap out on the PSU! I learn't the hard way when one burn't out my hard drive and DVD drives and the motherboard was never the same again. Ironically the power supply still worked but it obviously wasn't supplying the correct clean voltage so I binned it and have never used a generic PSU again for any build except a skip build which literally cost me nothing. This build is far too expensive to risk it as the Powerman PSU's recieve very mixed reviews. A few dollars more would get something that is genuinley considered reliable from a reputable brand.
they are really good power supplys, he got them for that cheap in japan because of some weird electricity thing that i dont understand, basically they work in his country but in japan they dont
Frog Cartoons Are Racist Nazis The PSU is from IN WIN. There is a indepth review of the 600watt version at hardwaresecrets.com. The quality and performance is quite solid. The 600 watt did sell for 89 dollars in 2010. I did look it up because by the looks you would assume another Chinese risky PSU...
I've been looking at those coolers, but like everything that seems too good on Aliexpress I wasn't sure. Thanks for being the unofficial Aliexpress test man! Not all heroes wear capes bro.
I just built this exact system a week ago with a gtx 1080 and my x5670 @ 4.3ghz! 90-140fps in bf1 ultra 1440p thanks for the vid! if you disable Hyperthreading youll get probably 200mhz more, you'll be able to increase the voltage since hyper threading makes it run hotter. games only use 6 cores right now
Derick Christopherson, I've got 4.9ghz turbo and 4.7ghz on all cores with HT, under load, on the same motherboard and x5650. The cooler is an aio from ITEK 240mm, for 65 euro.
You might want to check Battlefield 1 multiplayer with 6 threads and rerun with 12 threads. Battlefield 1 performers much better with 12 threads. X5675 4.6GHz user + GTX 1070.
in dx12? I get stutters on dx12, which is sorta a common thing with the game. I can only get 4.1ghz without overheating and hyper threading on with my hyper 212. I've gotta use 1.387v with hyperthreading off too get 4.3ghz. im comfortable with anything less then 90c. I think i got a bad overclocking cpu honestly
Detmer I just tried with hyperthreading @ 4.3ghz, seen the same framerates. I even tried 768p so my gpu wouldn't be pegged at 100%, this made the gpu go too around 60%. the cpu would only hit 50% and it would run hotter , I'm assuming because it wasn't using more then 6 threads like I thought. I tried dx11 and dx12. So hyperthreading made no difference in bf1 for me. But once games use more then 6 cores that I play, I'll definitely enable hyperthreading again.
I really like what you do with this older hardware. I too have been playing with X58 systems. Most current is an X5660 @ 4.5GHz with a GTX 1080 Ti. I lose about 15% over my i7-7700K @ 5GHz. The price/performance ratio is pretty great, however most people balk at sticking a $700 video card in system with a $25 CPU. Ha! I find that a GTX 980 plays very well with the X58 system. I have a GTX 780 that does pretty well too. These will be donated to friends that don't have the income to buy a system for their self. Keep up the good work mate!
I have a x5650, going from 2.66Ghz stock to 4.2Ghz, searching for a 3° Stick for triple channel memory and it's not bottlenecking my Strix GTX 1070 at 2Ghz. Just loving it.
i was rockin the x5670 for a bit on the ROG mATX gene ii, and then later the gene iii, and i was able to run 4.4ghz on custom water all day and temps were great. Paired with a HD 7990 OCd to the moon. It wasn't until the 7700k @ 5.2 ghz with nvme and Pascal came together, that I felt like I had a faster system. So much snappier! Just got notified earlier today that my 8700k is being delivered finally, so I can return to 6c/12t glory!
I got a Dell ad on this, lol I think you got a magic Xeon indeed... Those sorts of clocks and temps for that chip seem kinda high. I find this build hilarious
I absolutely love your videos, might I give a suggestion, instead of cutting up a case to make it fit the mobo, what about mounting the PC to a flat square piece of wood, and hang it on the wall. Maybe pallet wood, make it look like art lol.
I did a kind of hack job putting a 6200 motherboard with a dual core in a mid size case. It actually turned out working pretty well for the parts that I had to use. I had to work around Dells funky plugs but it booted and did a pretty good job.
Another great video, thx again Brian. Your production quality vid and sound wise seems to have gone up over the last year or so btw. Very good job, and perfect talk/background sound ratios too.
The highest overclock I ever got on a graphics card was on a R7 265OC. It was amazing. I even stopped before I had any artifacts or lockups. It was only a 1 gb card.
The one thing I love about these franken-builds is how immaculate they become after Bryan cleans them. Is he using something similar to WD 40? Would also be cool if he has a guide for bclk oc-ing and memory oc too for older systems like this
At the 13:01 mark where you can see your Amazon history on the right side of the screen, there is a grid with six items. The top middle item looks like a node or line extender / trunk amp that a cable television company would use.
I just love the ATX board springing up (or is it down?)! Even if it was closed. Easy access to your SATA for adding some extra old WD drives, got your PCIe for an old school sound blaster card if you wish or maybe a network card. It's perfect!! :D
Nothing currently ages as gracefully as the phenomenal X58 platform! If you already have a good X58 board and triple channel RAM, you have an abundant choice of used 6c/12t Xeons that are dirt cheap! Also, nearly all of them can reach freqs above 4.2GHz, can be easily cooled (soldered IHS) and are strong enough to push way above 100fps in games when OCd. The triple channel RAM allows fast and smooth work in productivity tasks as well. Furthermore, as 6c/12c is slowly becoming the new 4c/8c the X58 will surpass the beloved Sandy bridge in games too. Absolutely brilliant and timeless platform!
4.3 GHz on a 6C/12T CPU using a $25 generic cooler. Not sure if you really hit the silicon lottery or if aliexpress injects steroids in their heatsinks.
Favorite build from you so far!
The equivalent of finding the 'The Chosen One' as a CPU.
I tested two Xeon X5670 and one X5675 with custom watercooling. They all blast easily to 4.2GHz (mild voltage), to 4.4GHz requires proper settings, beyond 4.4GHz is more silicon lottery but with a good overclocking motherboard and very good cooling 4.6+ isn't that rare (high vcore)...
OLD XEON = Silicon Lottery all day man
Thanks Ozi! For me, this is what is so much fun about the older hardware - you can have a cheap gamble at the silicon lottery! It's also the exact reason I went ham on the x58 boards when I was hunting in Japan, love my x58 and Westmere Xeons, easily my favourite line up of all time.
I run mine @4.7ghz under water. I know of people hitting 4.9 however.
Great build. I think the X58 platform is amazing. I saved so much money with an X5675 12gb triple channel ram and a real lucky find with a new in box gigabyte ex58 motherboard sat around in an IT workshop.

Brian the type of guy to build a PC outside to save money on electricity by not using the lights.
lol
Lol
Lmao that's a good one
Haha ..hell yeahh
He needs to save money on electricity to power up that X58.
Since you're in australia, doesnt that mean the case is actually right side up?
correct

the graphics card looks good? i forgot what i should say about the RAM, tho......
This makes sad because I had to leave x58 (dying mainboard). I just love this platform (along with x79 and soon x99 since it's getting cheaper), and you've made me love them even more. Loved this build.
When you close LTT video to watch this guy. :)
ivansky agree. LTT is the most irritating person on TH-cam. And don't get me started on his clickbait titles
Can't stand LTT personally.
Tech Yes city and jayz2cents all day long :)
LTT redeemed himself with that 3DFX build though.
ivansky yeah, he's pretty generic really. Brian makes the best computer videos on the whole of TH-cam. Dimitri is pretty good too, although he makes fairly generic videos as well
A build like that deserves a new $35 dollar case to bring it together. Awesome build!
Eyyyyy hi Brian.. How you manage to get an x58 mobo for $70 is beyond me... None under $120 on eBay when I look
Gotta look elsewhere then; I've seen some for 80€ on local selling sites in Germany.
CSTwister didnt he get them all in japan
Man you can buy it on aliexpress for 60$.

MY x5675 still plowing through everything @ 4.6ghz, wont be upgrading until the 2020's hopefully =] X58 still got bite
hm55 chipset best lol
Nice! What settings you using and how long for, if you don't mind me asking?
bclk 200, 23 multi, 1.45v, c1e enabled, 3400mhz uncore, i run this thing with a 360mm AIO, previously with a hyper212 evo.

These chips are tough, only thing that really degrades them are high voltages on the QPI/vtt (over 1.35v per intel max spec)

Impressive. I'm still on the fence of going past the max spec'ed VID of 1.35V myself, but a lot of people like yourself seem to run fine above that as long as things are kept cool. The Gulftown i7s which are pretty much the same part I think are spec'ed up to 1.375V, so who knows what's going on there. But at 1.45V I feel like you could get more out of it though, I have my X5670 at 4.4Ghz on my Gigabyte X58A-UD3R with the following:

Rule number 1: Don't cheap out on the PSU!
I learn't the hard way when one burn't out my hard drive and DVD drives and the motherboard was never the same again.
Ironically the power supply still worked but it obviously wasn't supplying the correct clean voltage so I binned it and have never used a generic PSU again for any build except a skip build which literally cost me nothing.

That power supply wont live for long on such heavy overclocks. :D I wouldn't put a 10$ PSU in an office PC.
he uses them all the time. They have really good 12v rail
they are really good power supplys, he got them for that cheap in japan because of some weird electricity thing that i dont understand, basically they work in his country but in japan they dont
Oh, ok. I missed that episode then.
Frog Cartoons Are Racist Nazis The PSU is from IN WIN. There is a indepth review of the 600watt version at hardwaresecrets.com.
The quality and performance is quite solid. The 600 watt did sell for 89 dollars in 2010.
I did look it up because by the looks you would assume another Chinese risky PSU...
These aren't just cheap no-name PSUs. These older supplies from companies like FSP or Super Flower are pretty decent, and they go cheap online.
Good stuff, and that $25 air cooler is the best part, as I always love finding hidden gems on the cheap.
60$ for an x58 motherboard?!?! where???
Nino Medina japan i think he got them last time he was there
Vlothx i couldn't find it plz give me link
60€ found some but 2 ram place and no usb 3 and ecc ram?
oh ya finally its up. thnx for keeping your promise Bryan. i am gonna finish work,go home and watch this while having me lunch. ❤❤💚💚
The 8700K has nothing on this build
UnknownUser yes a CPU vs an entire PC cheaper than it.
Price advantage
I've been looking at those coolers, but like everything that seems too good on Aliexpress I wasn't sure.
Thanks for being the unofficial Aliexpress test man! Not all heroes wear capes bro.
first
Spongebong Weedpants nope.
i dont think so
It is just so nice to watch You do things I would still like to do, don't have the time anymore... Keep'em coming !!!
That angle grinder disc was rooted and I'm glad it didn't fly apart!!!
I just built this exact system a week ago with a gtx 1080 and my x5670 @ 4.3ghz! 90-140fps in bf1 ultra 1440p thanks for the vid! if you disable Hyperthreading youll get probably 200mhz more, you'll be able to increase the voltage since hyper threading makes it run hotter. games only use 6 cores right now
Derick Christopherson, I've got 4.9ghz turbo and 4.7ghz on all cores with HT, under load, on the same motherboard and x5650. The cooler is an aio from ITEK 240mm, for 65 euro.
I dont think i ever wanna water cool personally, too afraid of leaking, Im just using a hyper 212 evo though, thanks for the recommend!
You might want to check Battlefield 1 multiplayer with 6 threads and rerun with 12 threads. Battlefield 1 performers much better with 12 threads.
X5675 4.6GHz user + GTX 1070.
in dx12? I get stutters on dx12, which is sorta a common thing with the game. I can only get 4.1ghz without overheating and hyper threading on with my hyper 212. I've gotta use 1.387v with hyperthreading off too get 4.3ghz. im comfortable with anything less then 90c. I think i got a bad overclocking cpu honestly
Detmer I just tried with hyperthreading @ 4.3ghz, seen the same framerates. I even tried 768p so my gpu wouldn't be pegged at 100%, this made the gpu go too around 60%. the cpu would only hit 50% and it would run hotter , I'm assuming because it wasn't using more then 6 threads like I thought. I tried dx11 and dx12. So hyperthreading made no difference in bf1 for me. But once games use more then 6 cores that I play, I'll definitely enable hyperthreading again.
good to see you found a left handed screwdriver, they're a real pain to come by.
I really like what you do with this older hardware. I too have been playing with X58 systems. Most current is an X5660 @ 4.5GHz with a GTX 1080 Ti. I lose about 15% over my i7-7700K @ 5GHz. The price/performance ratio is pretty great, however most people balk at sticking a $700 video card in system with a $25 CPU. Ha!
I find that a GTX 980 plays very well with the X58 system. I have a GTX 780 that does pretty well too. These will be donated to friends that don't have the income to buy a system for their self. Keep up the good work mate!
I have a x5650, going from 2.66Ghz stock to 4.2Ghz, searching for a 3° Stick for triple channel memory and it's not bottlenecking my Strix GTX 1070 at 2Ghz.
Just loving it.
This is why I subscribe to this
channel. Great value for money build with the ghetto tech yes city slant. Awesome.
Yes tech city you never seem to never amaze me.
Honeslty, my favorite part of this PC was the case; not only is it unique, it's functional for cooling and could even be used as a test bed! :D
Ok, Ive watched your channel a number of times, but what you achieved here was impressive enough to earn my sub!
I have a BIT of a Lion addiction SO! Needless to say (but I will) I LOVE your shirt you wore for this ep!
i was rockin the x5670 for a bit on the ROG mATX gene ii, and then later the gene iii, and i was able to run 4.4ghz on custom water all day and temps were great. Paired with a HD 7990 OCd to the moon. It wasn't until the 7700k @ 5.2 ghz with nvme and Pascal came together, that I felt like I had a faster system. So much snappier! Just got notified earlier today that my 8700k is being delivered finally, so I can return to 6c/12t glory!
I’m so happy that these cheap 6 core processors are all over Ebay
Seriously you gotta do a series on navigating bios and manual stable overclocking. Amazing performance for older parts
I just love this series ! Great job, Steve. Good luck "Coffee Pot"
Nice shoes Bryan, they look comfy.
I got a Dell ad on this, lol
I think you got a magic Xeon indeed... Those sorts of clocks and temps for that chip seem kinda high. I find this build hilarious
music and cleaning is back i'm happy
Gotta love me some Xeons... haha. Very impressed as always. Also like the looks of this board, doesn't show its age.
I absolutely love your videos, might I give a suggestion, instead of cutting up a case to make it fit the mobo, what about mounting the PC to a flat square piece of wood, and hang it on the wall. Maybe pallet wood, make it look like art lol.
My favorite part? Performance per dollar! - Great video.
Love it! Your new studio is looking good Mate!
Lovin' the progress on the new workplace/ workstation - looking good sir!
As always, The best youtuber in the world. no competition - period!
I did a kind of hack job putting a 6200 motherboard with a dual core in a mid size case. It actually turned out working pretty well for the parts that I had to use. I had to work around Dells funky plugs but it booted and did a pretty good job.
Very Nice Build. Here in the states cheap used parts are getting harder and harder to find.
oh man!! totally Radical! and i must admitt i have never seen an OEM case used in this manner before lol
I think i found my new favorite tech TH-camr
Another great video, thx again Brian. Your production quality vid and sound wise seems to have gone up over the last year or so btw. Very good job, and perfect talk/background sound ratios too.
The highest overclock I ever got on a graphics card was on a R7 265OC. It was amazing. I even stopped before I had any artifacts or lockups. It was only a 1 gb card.
The one thing I love about these franken-builds is how immaculate they become after Bryan cleans them. Is he using something similar to WD 40?
Would also be cool if he has a guide for bclk oc-ing and memory oc too for older systems like this
thats a big fat overclock there mate, love it,
Definitely do a video on that CPU Cooler, I love to see how that performs on Ryzen and Coffee Lake
This is the best thing you ever build, by a country mile.
Thank god you've started using 0.1% lows. Subbed.
Does the sound weird to say this guy is crazy but a genius at the same time there's a fine line between genius and a goof
I love these type of videos. Please keep by this way.
At the 13:01 mark where you can see your Amazon history on the right side of the screen, there is a grid with six items. The top middle item looks like a node or line extender / trunk amp that a cable television company would use.
I have an X5670 in a RAMPAGE III FORMULA. Kit insane!
I just love the ATX board springing up (or is it down?)! Even if it was closed. Easy access to your SATA for adding some extra old WD drives, got your PCIe for an old school sound blaster card if you wish or maybe a network card. It's perfect!! :D
Nothing currently ages as gracefully as the phenomenal X58 platform! If you already have a good X58 board and triple channel RAM, you have an abundant choice of used 6c/12t Xeons that are dirt cheap! Also, nearly all of them can reach freqs above 4.2GHz, can be easily cooled (soldered IHS) and are strong enough to push way above 100fps in games when OCd. The triple channel RAM allows fast and smooth work in productivity tasks as well. Furthermore, as 6c/12c is slowly becoming the new 4c/8c the X58 will surpass the beloved Sandy bridge in games too. Absolutely brilliant and timeless platform!
