Is X58 Still Worth it..? Taking the 6 Core X5675 to 4.5GHz on AIR.
Ойындар
Tomorrow's video will showcase the true power of this Westmere 32nm piece of art, that can be had for close to $50. Though this is a special variant, it is the 75, which apparently is a better bin than the x5670. So here is a big prequel to the power that almost 10 years later still thrives in this underrated 6 core, 12 threaded Xeon. I also dedicate a section to overclocking and things to look out for with x58.

I've done "professional" x58 overclocking back in 2010/2011. Here some tips you probably don't know: -Westmere actually likes reducing PLL Voltage..most CPUs liked around 1.3-1.5V. You can reduce your Vcore up to 10%. -Running over 1.65V on the memory is no problem but NEVER exede a delta of 0.45V between your QPI voltage (memory controller) and your VDimm [example: 1.4V QPI 1.85V Ram "safe" / 1.2V QPI 1.7V Ram "unsafe"] (keep in mind to look up for what voltages the ICs on your memory can handle...modern 1.35V ICs will most likely die at 1.85V) -Unlike Bloomfield, Westmere/Gulftown allows you to reduce the Ram/Uncore Ratio to 1:1.5 . Don't do it. You loose so much performance. 1:2+ is always perfect on X58. [example: 2200Mhz Ram / 3300Mhz Uncore gives you less performance then 1800Mhz Ram / 3600Mhz Uncore but needs extreme voltages to get stable] -The BLCK on many CPUs often have "blindspots". [example of an 920 D0 ...133-210 stable/211-218 bootable/219-233bootloop/234-238bootable

Thanks a lot for this info, I'm just torturing a i-920 D0 (including leaping) only to experiment before the x5675 I ordered for 27€ arrives. It seems that I will surely destroy the P6T Deluxe V2 before destroy the CPU itself! Weird, not proper Thermal Protection (it has, sort off, but not a proper one), and still this puppy eats all I throw..

Under this = super unstable. i can get 4.4 ghz working, but LinX will throw me an error after 30 Minutes. What are the max 24/7 Voltages i could throw on this thing without breaking it ? What else could i do, to get like 4.5 or more? Thanks :)

Gotta have an IO shield. Even if its just so when you upgrade and sell the board it hasn't been lost and can be a selling point. Seriously, first question in any ad for a board: "Does it have the IO shield with it?"
X58 is still very worth it in my opinion. The only kicker would be to buy the new GTX 1080.

A 10 year old CPU is still probably better than whatever's in the PS4 or something. Single-thread performance hasn't gone up *that* much in the last decade, and software has been pretty slow to catch up with hardware. These 16 core beasts that are coming out now are really only worth it if you're doing multimedia stuff.

Hell yea Bryan awesome video! I'm running a very similar setup and I've loved every minute of it since it was released. Specs: X5650 running at 4.4Ghz daily with a quad fan H100i EVGA X58 Classified 3 (the board is a godsend, has USB 3.0, SATA3 and still under EVGA's LIFETIME warranty!) EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 (most recent addition) 16GB Dominator Platinum RAM at 2Ghz (had 4GBx3 Dominator GT that failed and Corsair sent me a 4x4 kit which I made work, still runs triple channel and got 4 extra gig) 480GB Kingston HyperX Predator PCIe boot drive pulling 1300/900 read/write speeds 2 500GB Samsung 850 EVO's and a 1TB WD drive HP Omen X35 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor I recently went ultrawide which is why I bought the 1080 Ti and figured it's worth a try to see if the old 5650 can keep the 1080 Ti fed and because of the higher res it's been doing pretty damn good. Most games are pegged at 99% usage so I'ma hold out a little longer before I move to a completely new platform. Love the X58 though that chip is a hidden gem not everyone knows about. I think the best way to find an X58 board is getting an "old" gaming PC that's equipped with one with a 920. I picked up a fully functional PC for my little bro for $200 with a Asus P6T in it. I tore it down, threw in a SSD, 12GB 1600 RAM, a GTX 1060 6GB and OC'ed to 4.2. Badass budget gaming PC! I even have an extra 5650 once I see which one OC's better I'll slap one in there for him. Loving that X58 Lyfe!

I think it's the early one. I know it's not the Deluxe but so far it's been working great and also will support the Xeon's although not "officially". If it's not too late can you show what your load voltages are (Vcore/VTT) in the next vid or tell me if you know since you're running LLC on? I can't get mine stable with EVGA Vdroop enabled no matter what I've tried. On my board it screws with the voltages too much and setting for example 1.4 Vcore in the BIOS nets me about 1.32 on full load which isn't enough for 4.4Ghz. With Vdroop off I'm running 1.36 Vcore and 1.35 VTT under load. I see you're running a low QPI voltage setting so I'm curious what it is under load. I heard not to go over 1.35 on the Xeon's or you can damage the memory controller.

I get that a lot with the OC on the 950's ... I have no clue why they are doing so well? They are the GTX 950 EVGA SSC versions and I used MSI Afterburner to get that. Booting up MSI AB to check.... Okay, so it's hard to tell but the Core Clock is set at a +440 with Zero OC on the Memory. On the dial it has a white arrow for base clock and a red arrow for boost. The white arrow is just in front of the 1750 marker and the red boost marker is dead in between 1750 and 2000 mhgz. I really wish the layout was more clear and showed the exact numbers unless I don't know how to see it... that is a big possibility. But if we are going off the base it looks like the white arrow is sitting at what I would call 1700? So I did over judge it a little

Would I really be better off ditching the 2 950's SLI ? I've put in a lot of reading on the 1050ti and I feel like its not an upgrade on what I have so would I be looking at a 1060? In my area on offer up I can get an EVGA GTX 980 SSC for $250 right now. Would that single 980 be a lot better than the SLI'd 950's ? When I originally bought and built that computer in October of 2008, It was an I7 920, 3gbs of Ram, 2 X GTX 250's in SLI all running on a 700 watt semi modular power supply and I paid $1255.80 from Alienware before the Dell buy out built in the Area 51 Case in 2008. All I've done in 10 years is put 32gb of Ram in, replaced the i7 920 for the X5650 Xeon, replaced the 2 GTX 250's with the GTX 950's... so I've only put another $360 total into the computer to upgrade over a 10 year period.... oh I did' have the HDD that came with it go down on me it was a 750gb barracuda. I now have a 1TB WD Black Storage and a 256gb Intel SSD that I got new on a sale for $25

Tech Yes City great Video as always. I have never had a chance to OC a x58 board well not my own anyway. The one I got to play with was a customers and it was a ASUS x58 and the CPU I think if memory serves right was a i7 930 and 12GB DDR3 he wanted the system over clocked but was afraid to do it him self so myself & the customer spent a couple hours on the system. His cooler was a beasty air cooler and I think we were hitting in the 4Ghz range (4.4-4.5Ghz) I think it was a long time ago he was so grateful that after he paid the bil he slap a $100 bill into my hands and said money well spent I told him that was not required since I had a lot of fun doing it. He said please just take it and spend it on something computer related for myself. This guy has bought every gaming computer he has picked up from me since that day and we spend a few hours tweaking to get the most out of each new system. I am sure he has learnt enough over the years to do it himself but I think he enjoys it as much as I do. I am sure his wife and kids hate it every time he gets a new system mind you...lol
Also have a X5675 with an Asus X58 board and i love it. In fact i've been trying to upgrade to a modern CPU but i feel guilty and it's hard to go apart from it damn! Been rocking at 4,5ghz @ 1,4v with a corsair H110iGT and have a realy oddly fast system. Been playing games with a RX580 and most get 100% GPU utilization meaning the CPU can definately keep up with it.

My daily driver is still an i7 960 overclocked to 3.8 GHz on this motherboard, that I built back in 2011. Still works fine today. Had plenty of dramas overclocking it but it's stable and still going strong for a computer that is 8 years old.

Asus P6X58D-E was one of the best mid range mainboards for overclocking back in when X58 were "new", i could push my X5670 to 4.7Ghz at 1.45v watercooled. Great piece of hardware. Now im rocking Intel i9 7920x and im loving it, great overclocker aswell.
I built a complete bargain breaker with this platform! Picked up a few sweet deals, like an EVGA x58 FTW3 w/ an i7 950 for $60, 8 GB DDR3 for $10, an HD7870 for $28, and I found a dingy old case, and a friend gave me a 750 w psu. I eventually swapped out the cpu for an x5650 for $28 and swapped the gpu for a 1050ti for $120, and put it all in a HAF 912. This thing is running beautifully, i have my x5650 @ 4.0 ghz at 1.31 v, but i can't seem to get past that. Its at 200 bclk and 20 multiplier, which is the highest with turbo off. with turbo on, even up to 1.4 v and messing with some of the other voltages, i just can't get it stable. I think i might pick up a x5675 or x5680 soon and mess around with that because they're just so cheap!

When it's overclocked it's around the same ipc yeah, the X56xx is a great upgrade path for anyone who already owns an x58 board and is looking to upgrade their old i7 920 for example or if you can find super cheap deals like bryan does but personally I wouldn't recommend dropping the £100-£150 asking prices on an old x58 board. These days there's too many cheap new options which don't have missing instruction sets (Avx, Avx2) and come with sata3 and usb3 and many other newer chipset features already onboard and are also much less power hungry. That said i'm still very happy with mine I also have a second rig with a i7 6700k and i can't really tell the difference between them unless i'm running benchmarks or staring at an fps counter.

here using Asus p6x58D-E - Xeon W3690 3.47GHz (3.8 GHz on turbo boost) - Coolermaster T4 air cooler - 24 GB Ram 1600 HyperX (triple chanel) - Geforce EVGA 1060 6GB SC. All Games at the monent runina in Ultra settings at 1080p (yes including LOTR Shadow of War, Ghost Recon Wildlands, COD WWII, NFS Payback, Assassin's Creed Origins and Far Cry 5)....
This video made me dig out the x58 sabertooth out of the basement and have some fun. I got a x5675 off ebay for $45, put it in the machine and was blown away. Using your tips 4.5 GHz was no problem. I liked this build because the x5675 has a tdp of 95w compared to the i7 950 that was in there that has a tdp of 130w, I was hoping it would run cooler with less power and it does. Best I could manage on the i7 950 was 4.0 GHz and that was almost more than the 8yr old Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus could deal with. The x5675 with the same cooler at 4.5 GHz runs at 73C tops, much better than the low to mid 90s C the 950 ran \o/ . Thank you so much for this video, subbed and in the process of watching all your vids new and old.

I basically started out with most of the settings Brian mentions in the video above and then I'm going to tweak a bit more as I go along. I'm not convinced I have the ram 100% stable as I have had 1 or 2 crashes of my 3d rendering program but windows itself has not crashed. I have barely even had any time to mess around with it myself except for a day or two but so far its been great. I'm running the 1402 Bios with 18 gigs of 1600 MHz Gskill ram at 1804 MHz @ 9-9-9-24, a Sandisk SSD and a 1TB WD Black on WIN 10 powered by a Corsair 850TX. Except for the SSD and vid card its all 8 yr old hardware that was in the system.

Ok so im so excited I HAD to comment here. I was so inspired by this video I went searching for a bargain X58 board and got a deal on an Intel DX58SO2 which seems great and has new mod cons like USB3 etc BUT very little info can be found and it was not clear if it would support the X5675. Anyway, my X5675 arrived this morning and can confirm it works well! Im actually recording my experience to try and kick off my own little channel but wanted to say a huge thank you :) Wish me luck folks!
Funny you made this video, I recently refreshed my x58 PC from 2009 with new generation 2nd hand parts and brand new parts. i7-920 to Xeon W3680 ($100) GTX 275 to GTX 960 ($100) WD Velociraptor 10k HDD to Samsung Evo 850 SSD ($120) W3680 has unlocked multiplier so it OCs to 4GHZ + very easily I'm still using a corsair H50 AiO i think this need to be changed :) This x58 9year old PC is still very good in this age with a refresh
I get CB1062 from my x5690. I reckon the sweet spot cpu is the x5670 as they are binned well and OC well past 4500

I scored a Rampage III Black Edition last year, dropped a x5675 @ 4.6 into it, got the ram to 2200MHZ 24GB with only 3 sticks (hope that helps the controller a bit) Also threw in two gtx 1070's in x16 sli, playing most games at 2x native on a 144hz 1080p screen is amazing, handles my HTC VIVE no problem as well, just slightly salty that the black edition lacks basic power saving features like offset voltage, so no turbo shenanigans. Sold a X58 Extreme with a X5660 that could drop to 2.2-2.4, than turbo up to 4.3-4.4 depending on user need, all while staying well below 1.35, that offset turbo overclocking can be very rewarding if you spend the time.
2021 and I think it's still worth it to have Recently built an x58 rig as a secondary. Overclocking was so much fun and seeing a 30% increase in performance made my jaw hit the floor. It was paired with a 980 ti and 24 gb of ram clocked at 1800 mhz and getting the x5675 to 4.2 ghz took some time (6 hours with stress testing) but was worth it. After seeing this video for like the 20th time I think I'll have to go back and see if I can get it to 4.4 ghz lol
Ha Ha i am still running a i7 950 Bloomfield chip that i bought 8 years ago. X58 is a killer platform that triple Chanel ram is the best.
My x5670 does 4.2ghz at 1.3v. That's with a 200blck on Asus p6t deluxe. Thing is my cpu will not do a higher frequency at all even with massive volts. Also I have 12gb of ddr3 ram with 6x2gb sticks. If I run the speed higher than 1000mhz all the ram doesn't show, however compensated with really tight timings. The one thing I'm confused with is how cool your cpu is, mine will idle at 30 degrees c but run at about 60-65 gaming. That's with a 240l aio too.

Wish someone would make a vid like this for bios flashing and overclocking on a dual xeon workstation. Those things are monsters. quad channel at a bare minimum. two CPUs similar to this one, and you can top the modern single-chip charts right up until epyc and threadripper, with x58, x78, AND x99. That's *before* any overclocking. and you can even upgrade more smoothly, cause most support mismatched CPUs.

I love how in-depth you are showing everyone the BIOS configurations you use. I know a lot of people are afraid to mess up their hardware by tweaking stuff and especially overclocking the CPU, RAM, PCI-E settings, etc. I'm a long time follower and discovered you when you were in Japan teaching students. Maybe you can do some day tripping stuff of Australia. Maybe some local festivals or something. I know your main focus is technology but I'm sure there are plenty of your fans who would like seeing you do some type of adventure maybe part hunting in local stores like you did in Japan. Keep up the amazing work, I know one day you'll probably have like over 500K subscribers at least.
6:00 I've encountered this before. What I do is disconnect all my other drives when installing windows and plug them back in afterwards. That way I know the bootloader is on the C drive so it avoids problems if you need to change drives around etc.

My X5675 is now back up and running @4.7 GHz ~1.46V with the 6x 4GB Kingston DDR3 1333 MHz @~1200 MHz (204 MHz *6) I could not overclock yet, maybe revisiting this topic sometime...

I actually just built an X5675 system a few months ago that I use as my main computer. It's absolutely worth it. CPU was $24 USD. 24gb of ram (triple channel) I think was like $50. Motherboard was unfortunately $100, but it still saved me money over a ryzen system. That stuff coupled with a GTX 1660 TI was getting me 80-120fps @1080p in the Modern Warfare beta. I looked up other people's FPS on KZread and with their custom settings they were getting the same fps on much newer systems, and even like 10fps lower on ryzen systems. Also keep in mind this is at stock speeds (or less) with my X5675. I'm not sure if I've got a bios issue or what, but I just can't get my bios menu to even function when I click on the frequency menu, and then in HWMonitor it reports my highest frequencies achieved as 3.1ghz. Spectre and Meltdown patches are disabled. So yeah, if it is keeping up that well with the latest and greatest in a game I was really playing, I'd say it's absolutely worth it if you can get it at a good price. Hell, with my experience I'd go as far as to say pick up an X5650 for $9 on eBay right now and you'll be surprised out how well it does relative to the price you paid.

I still actively use a Windows 7 PC I built in 2009. It has an Asus Rampage II Gene mobo (which is x58) with an i7-920 (OC’d to 4Ghz), 8GB DDR3-1600mhz, and a WD Velociraptor Raid array. It still runs almost every game out there. The only thing I’ve had to upgrade over the years is the GPU. Right now it has a GTX 1060 (6GB) in it, upgraded from HD6990. I have a newer x99 workstation with Windows 10 (Rampage V Edition 10, i7-6900k, 64GB DDR4-3200mhz, 2x GTX 1080 in SLI, 960 Pro SSD) but I still use the old x58 based system for a bunch of games on steam, as well as audio production work (I have older firewire based audio interfaces with drivers that only work with Win XP or Win 7). The x58 chipset was damn good, and it can still keep up with everything nearly a decade later. No it’s not the best, but it still does the job. In fact, the only thing that the old system seems to struggle with is Star Citizen (which runs sluggish even on the newest high end hardware).

Working on my 3rd and 4th x58 systems, first was a x5660 that went to 4.41 stable on air, than 3 x5670s in a row going to 4.4-4.5ghz all stable. So much value for the money when you can find the boards at a decent price.
I built my first rig two years ago. And it was 15 years since I built a gaming rig. And it was a x58 with a x5670 and it was all because of your videos that I picked these parts. The motherboard was a asus p6t but for some reason it wouldnt go past 4.2ghz. I even tried it with a x5687 and the same thing. 4.2ghz. I loved that machine but It started having cold boot issues. So I sold it and got a ryzen 1600. I want another one just to play around with.
Its so amazing you still like x58, cuz its what i am still using on my gaming. I see no reason why i should change it. I run 980x at 4500mhz 2000 ddr3 24 gigs of ram. and 2 1070's in sli and it runs flawlesly . i have a solid install of 10 i had since win 7 days, and so much stuff installed, i felt not changing it and i don't need usb3 or hot wire or whatever. got a HTPC with haswell so no biggie. but their is no bottlenecks at all wow on an EVGA x58.
I rebuilt my Rampage III extreme after 3 years of sitting in the cupboard from a fault I found a fix for. Ordered a x5690 from Ali-express, bought a Vega 56. runs Tomb Raiders at max settings no problems.

Thank you for all your good videos!
I have a 5680 on X58 overclocked to 4.6 GHz. Temps during normal usage are just around 55° C, idle around 30° (240mm AIO). Haven't tortured it but in intensive game play it will reach 65-70°. I didn't expect it to clock this high! I'll probably back off the clock a bit as vcore is around 1.39V which makes me a little nervous.
I have a 4930k, custom water-cooled and running 4.7Ghz @ 1.41V for the past 5 years. Running numerous benchmarks, it comes in just under the Ryzen 1800X stock for multi threaded and is faster by a good margin in single thread. Not to mention the older quad and triple channel memory boards keep pace with the dual channel ddr4 boards at 3000mhz or greater. Obviously clock for clock the 4930k is starting to show a bit of age, but with a good overclock it holds its own and I'm still surprised at how slow technology as moved in raw CPU performance. The trade off is, my old CPU uses 180W to achieve what a 90W processor does today. Great video!
I still use a dual Xeon X58 workstation. I bought a Dell T5500 back in 2010 half the price (3000 €) and lasted until 2013. The board was changed to a Supermicro and everything was taken out from the case and put into my desk. Then the 2 X5570 were replaced by 2 X5687 and Quadro card with a GTX960. One heatsink snapped off destroying one cpu slot so now I'm using half the board, waiting for a Fujitsu one to continue working for the 8th year with X58. FTR, I used to make 3D architectural work, now I mostly make time lapses working with 3 adobe apps plus 1-2 more photo or video editing programs at the same time. My editor friends still bring me big files to render...
4:27am in Canada here going to watch this awesome video before I finally go to bed.
Those x58 chipsets were ridiculous, they were practically a co-processor. Had a big, fat tower cooler on my CPU, but the northbridge was still passively cooled and the top corner of my case would get too hot to touch after several hours, even with everything running stock.
The x58 boards are still hard to find here in Canada. Those X79 chinese boards made x79 builds possible though.
