I run a x5470 in 790i mobo at 4.25ghz and it does well. They overclock like a beast. Ive been stable at 4.75ghz but even with water cooling it gets hot!! It does bottleneck my gtx 970s in SLI, but my fps is plenty high enough. I just don't see the need to upgrade for the short term with games becoming less and less CPU bound
I buy X5470 for 775 mobo it was 2014 last 5 years using it at @4.00ghz 1.25vcore with no issue still using Cinebench R15 score single core 116 cpu score 440 for clear compare ryzen 1200 4C/4T cpu single core score 130 cpu score 482. if you already have 775 socket mobo if you are on budget go for xeon. But dont expect crazy performance its a 11 years old cpu
I disagree. You have to take that it's not the CPU that's solely worth the price but the combination with the mobo, remember the x5470 works in far older and cheaper mobos that can practically be scavenged from anywhere unlike the other two. Therefore, ultimately you have much more bang for your buck buying a Xeon, as overall it's significantly cheaper than the other two.
The "upgradability" argument (or lack thereof) against the X5470 is flawed in that to upgrade to the i7 3770 (as the video suggests) would cost ~$70 (eBay) which would not make sense in terms of cost. Anybody choosing to build LGA 771/775 or Sandy/Ivy Bridge today would be upgrading to another platform (say in one or two years' time) if cost is the primary consideration.
Already had my old 790i ultra sli collecting dust in the closet. P10 bios microcode update, ballistix tactical tracer 1600mhz 2x8gb, X5492 at 1883mhz fsb = 4.001ghz. It’s just a “what can this run in 2019?” toy. Delid/liquid metal. Still has my original zalman 9500S on it. It’s fun, but now I remember how HOT the nforce chipsets were.
Nice, i have the X5460 in my current LGA775 socket.. although the AMD 5600X came today :) I love this one,, the LGA755 was my favorite socket! X9650, Q6660 X5460, and more!
I bought an X5472 because I got given a Asus P5KC and thought I'd have a lil bit of fun with it and see performance of it, unsure of the differences between the x5470 and x5472 tho, I guess I'll have to look into that, its going to be paired with an RX 460 2gb sadly because thats the best gpu I have to hand.
It's actually a real steal for those that had an old 775 setup hanging around, I managed to get mine for only £25. Obviously if you don't have a 775 machine it's not worth bothering with!

Hello. I have Dell Foxconn L S-36 motherboard and Intel Xeon 5150 2.66GHz. I alredy bought Intel Xeon X5470 3.33GHz but mine is LGA 771. It's not compactible with my motherboard (it has same socket but my motherboard does not support it). The question is which motherboard should I buy to match this processor?
Eu já tive muitos Xeons LGA771 em LGA775: X5450, X5460, X5470, and E5440. São todos ótimos. Eu usava eles com placa mãe Asus P5G41M LX2 e DDR3 1333Mhz. Recomendo são muito bons
I think a more accurate figure would be to say 20-25 dollars, which is the most frequent sale prices I see on eBay (where I get most of my parts.) Sorry about the incorrect numbers - not sure where I got these from. I will make sure to correct this figure in my next video.
that was stupid of course you should only by an X5470 when you already have a compatible Lga775 board. and then you go on comparing CPUs from different generations, of course you should buy newer board if you can afford it. anyway, you got any idea how much faster X5470 is than Core2Duo E8500? I want to replace it on my mum's old PC.
Just got myself a e5450 to throw into an old hp we had lying around. I was considering the x5470 for the extra 333mhz base clock, but it runs a lot hotter (80w vs 120w tdp) than I'd like to push the old oem motherboard. Nice well made video btw...liked and subscribed!
Im watching this video with an old XPS 720 H2C and a GTX580 Classified with a X5460 thinking to get one of this Xeon X5470 to upgrade an old Alienware 775 with a GTX690 so I can give them new life
There's no great value when ddr3 and I5 mobos more expensive than the old hardware. It's a great alternative to buying newer used hardware. You can buy ddr2 800 in bulk for dirt compared to ddr3 at 3x the cost.
Lawl. I've been running a e5440 on 8GB DDR2 - with an RX 570 it surprisingly plays quite a few resource intensive games. However, if I had a socket 775 that can use DDR3, which do exist and that you should have used here, would lead to much better performance. As the jump from DDR2 to DDR3 does help it seems, especially in games like Satisfactory that can easily chew through 8GB of memory. Also, prices that low for those CPU's is a fluffing pipe dream outside of the US/ordering from China.
A high end motherboard and DDR3 is key to unleash the x5470's true potential

Update your list. HP P6000, 775 board, Chipset G41 -- Will not boot.
i just want one for an ultimate socket 775 Windows XP/7 era PC😂
Is it worth going from Q9400 OC 3.6 Ghz to one of the X5450, 60 or 70? I have Asus P5Q with P45 chipset? Please respond.
Yes you would notice a difference but only if u overclock it and it might be only like 5 fps

The i 5 2500 cost 50-90$ and it is not unlock
🙂 Neat, thanks for the test, in between theres also 1156 with a $20 X3470 (8 threader)
I'd like to see you revisit this with a setting that is better suited to these CPUs, retro gaming, maybe throw in your Q9400 as well.
You buy these if you already have a dual 771 socket board, and you overclock them. You would not build a new system.

X5470, P45... and DDR2... ?
Wut?
A XEON x5470 was the absolute best CPU for the 775 socket. It was not unlocked but the multiplier was already high enough where it did not matter.

Mmmmm... No this CPU available on the 775 socket...
hey bruh need help im having asus p5kpl am/ps with chipset g31 will it support x5470 and OCing it
so. you can use a server class processor on a LGA775. does that mean i could throw in a pair of I7 2600k in the server grade boards?
No
is good for a rx580 4gb?
Some of bottle neck but, if you overclock that monster je, you can go to the war with that
Not good enough. Maybe can keep up with rx570 but sure will be a bottleneck anyway..
where I find an i3 2120 in 15 dollars??
I think a more accurate figure would be to say 20-25 dollars, which is the most frequent sale prices I see on eBay (where I get most of my parts.) Sorry about the incorrect numbers - not sure where I got these from. I will make sure to correct this figure in my next video.
they sell for £12 on CEX at a set price

the i3s and i5s came after the xeons .....so in theory its not fair .The Xeon is old....
indeed. this shootout with CPUs from another newer platform was totally dumb .

Same situation, I don't know if it's worth changing my e5450 for a x5470
If you already have the e5450 than I can't imagine the x5470 being much of an upgrade.
IPIBL-LB (Benicia)
Now do a 2500k instead of 2500 and clock it to 4.5Ghz and it makes the xeon kind of pointless these days unless you want a cool XP/Vista box.

Thanks for the useful information. Looking forward to more content.
Gracias man
This is interesting. But since x5470 is a server cpu does it work with bios and drivers on 775 mobo ?
In most cases it uses the closest 775 cpu microcode. In my case, before modifying my bios to add 771 microcode it was only using 2 of its cores.
Unless ur making a windows xp retro gaming pc.
You are the man! I played with the thought of buying one of those. You saved me
What 433 points never dude wtf ??? I have x5460 with 335 points the x5470 will have 350-370 MAX
