@@amdintelxsniperx Forget about the I7's for that platform. The real cost benefit is on the xeons, mainly the w3670 or the x5675, which are also 6t 12c that you can clock over 4Ghz on a good board and they cost only about $30. I just finished building a machine with a w3670 and it performs very nicely still, but you need to get a "real" x58 board with triple channel memory and some overclock capabilities.

X58 is an amazing chipset that has aged very well. I'm running a Dell Precision T3500 with an X5675 and an RTX 2060, it runs modern games quite good for having a build date of 2011.

I have the Dell Precision T5600 (C602), which I got for free in my company's decommissioning program about 2 years ago, including an old SSD, 8x4GB DDR3 REEC 1600, and a OEM modular 825W PSU. I upgraded to dual E5-2689 from dual E5-2667, threw in a GTX 970 and better SSD for the OS...and voila...runs like a champ. However, I wouldn't invest in a GPU above GTX 1070, or equivalent AMD (e.g. RX 480/580 8GB). These DELL PRECISIONs can be had for cheap locally, especially when companies decommission desktop servers. An Ivy Bridge or possibly Haswell (T3610/5610) version being preferred (with the AVX instruction set plus USB 3.0), IMO. DELL BIOS is locked, so staying with higher core count and highest base/turbo clock CPU's is also the way to go. They are very business looking, so no RGB bling. However, I did buy some 3D Carbon Vinyl sheeting (used for car exteriors) and added to the side panel as an accent. Made the box a bit more appealing for the home environment.

The LGA 1366 platform has definitely had its time, and should be put to rest now. The LGA 2011 platform has more modern features for not much more money, and even if you are on an extremely limited budget, there's the E5-2609 for under $5 to get you started. Another alternative for those who have access to cheap DDR4 RAM is a secondhand Z170 board and one of the Skylake A0 engineering samples (QH73/8E/8F/8G), which cost next to nothing now. You can flash an old BIOS to overclock them via the FSB/BCLK, and most should reach 3.6 GHz pretty easily. For gaming, it beats all of the old Xeons.

It's possible to get a M.2 NVMe SSD to work as a boot drive on this mainboard. You can use Clover (a boot manager usually for Hackintosh, but it can also emulate UEFI environment on older boards) and load NVMe drivers. There are some tutorials about it on PCbeta (Chinese). Another way is to find a NVMe drive with legacy option ROM, such as Samsung PM963. Have a nice weekend👍

The reason NVMe works on X79 but not on X58 is that it needs an EFI with the appropriate driver on it. Legacy BIOS will never be able to boot from NVMe. However, you should still be able to use NVMe SSDs as storage devices in Windows just fine. I've had X58, X79 and X99. Out of all three, X58 is the most fun to OC, but X79 gives the best balance between cost and performance. Sandy Bridge was really a performance leap (the biggest we've seen so far), and Westmere, while more than decent for its time, will still hit the same blocks as s775 did, especially since it lacks many instructions (especially AVX). And, while i'm not sure with cheap chinese mobos, but with decently high-end mobos you could mod the EFI to do all sort of modern stuff, especially have your mobo support PCI-E lane bifurcation (especially useful to have multiple NVMe SSDs off a single PCI-E slot).

Phil, Can you add 'No man's sky' to your list of test games? It might not be the best game ever but it supports Vulkan. Anyway keep up the good work.

Still running my X58 build since 2009! Gonna put some last upgrades in it before I finally retire it for a Ryzen AM5 build. Currently it's still running an i7 920, but have an Xeon W3680 ready to swap it out with (and OC a bit) once I find just the right case for it (Rosewill RSV-4310). Essentially want to find that specific 4U case so I can stick a decent workstation CRT on top. That along with either my current GTX 970 or upgrading to a 980 Ti will make for one interesting hybrid. Also will be adding a rather robust USB 3.0 card as my P6T Deluxe v2 came out a bit too early for it to feature it natively. Also going to put in an adapter card that pretty much lets you mount a SATA III SSD right into a PCI-E slot, which will free up space elsewhere in the case and give my Crucial 1TB a small speed boost over SATA II.

M.2 is working on that platform. I have a Samsung 970 Evo (on a cheap M.2 -> PCIe Converter from Amazon) in my Rampage 2 Extreme. It doesn’t shown in the BIOS and is not bootable. But in my case I had multiple SSD‘s and HDD‘s in my PC and I just have installed a bootloader (Clover in my case) on a SATA drive which are shown and bootable from the BIOS. And in the Bootloader I just click on the OS (or let it automatically choose) which is installed on the M.2 drive because the OS has drivers for M.2 built in. It also works with a bootloader on an USB stick but because this is my daily PC I installed it intern. But the Speed of the M.2 is limited. The limit comes because the Samsung 970 is for PCIe 3.0 (x4) but the X58 Platform has only PCIe 2.0 (x4). But it is still faster then SATA2 or even SATA3. As I say it is the maximum Speed of PCIe 2.0 x4.

Pascal still runs on x58. I run a dual x5677 system with a 1060. You could use a 1080ti, that'd be faster than a 580 by a good bit. You may be able to of it slightly as well. I get an extra 100 mhz out of my x5677's with setfsb. They're not unlocked so I can push it too far before it locks

Is fsb overclocking an option on this board? And if its not directly an option, I assume this uses an ami bios, so you may be able to edit it to allow it to do so with the ami bios tool you use on x99 to make the turbo hack work by disabling c3 and c6 power states, as well as enable safe mode that way

Vega 64 / 56 should also work fine (albeit your PSU needs to be up to the task, especially when overclocking the Xeon on a better mainboard).

I still got my X58 rig as well, but it's an X5690 @ 4.3GHz. I used to game with an rtx 2080, but the bottleneck was pretty big, so I got another pc with a Ryzen 3600 (the difference is massive).

I have biostar t power x58 with core I7 950 cpu. Can I inistall gtx 750 ti on it or it doesn't work???

@PhilsComputerLab There is a MSI X58 Pro-E refurbished for 40€ i could buy. Do you think it would be a better option? I could pair it with a Xeon X5675 and cheap 12 Gb Ram-kit from AliExpress. It would be a project to play around. I would buy the other parts used and cheap from my local market.

Yes it would be a better option :)

It would be nice, if you'd be able to test these old platform with turing or ampere graphic cards thx

The big plus of X58 as far as I am concerned is it is the best option for native Windows XP support that means native install of XP on real hardware allows good compatability with older but still great Games. Never to go on internet as I have other systems for that duty, With an Asus Rog Gene 3 Motherboard I also have sata 3 and native renasis chipset USB 3 and more can be added via a PCIE slot card and with this system I can use my old Soundbalster Sound card for it's old school Gameport as I have an old school all aluminium CH Joystick which is awesome based on the F16 Control Aircraft Joystick these were actually used by the USAF for Training simulators hence why I run an X58 system

I currently run X58 as a server in my basement, it runs linux very well. About nvme on X58 it is possible on linux by putting boot partition on a different drive, or by using refind/clover you can boot from nvme under efi

Im pretty sure the PCIe to M.2 SSD will be visible in Windows, you just cannot set it as boot device since the bios doesnt come with NVME drivers. But you could technically have the boot record on a regular SATA-SSD (or HDD) and install the Windows files on the m.2 SSD, that should/could work.

On the AMD Graphics you can turn on Enhanced Sync from the driver to get a better experience in low fps situations ( under 60 ). It works great with high refresh monitors ( >75 hz )

1:54 There's "VT-x" enable on CPU active instructions, so, yes they have Virtualization function, also, X58 are my favorite platform all time, miss so much my old E5649 4.2GHz, but, actually, guess the "X79" 2011/1356 are the kings of budget...

Hi Phil, Actually you can find Asus ou Gigabyte MB X58 with full OC possibilities for a little more than 70 euros so not much over this MB. However it looks that those board do not support ECC DDR3

I have 4 sticks of DDR3 retired from another system and 1 of them is bad, this 3 channel setup seems like a good way to use them up.

Hello and thanks for a great channel.. Maybe someone here can help me with my issues.. Im trying to build a retro gaming pc for playing games from the 1997-98 era. Im using a win98 setup with P233 mmx and geforce 4mx 440. The problem is a lot of DirectX games does not start at all, or have serious graphical issues, like Colin mcrae rally and Wipeout XL for exampel, the graphics is very glitched with lots of black areas, missing menus and so on. Games like Quake and Quake 2 works perfect though. I have installed the DirectX 7 drivers. Any suggestions? Is it possible that my graphics card is too modern for playing these old games? Should i get something older like the riva TNT 2?

Running a hp z400 lga1366 for the last 9 years. Got it 2nd hand really cheap. It has a w3690 (€55,-) for the last years. 20gb ram, and 2nd hand gtx 1070 (€250 3years back). You can put the turbo to 4ghz using Intel extreme tuning utility, only do not use the latest version as they dropped support for this cpu some time ago. Still a fine daily driver at 1920x1200 @ 60fps. Yes it does virtualization. This cpu also supports higher ram speeds. Bought 2 of the hp systems last year for people around me for only €125. You should undervolt the rx 580, it will run overclocked and still with less energy as stock to make it not get so hot and noisy.

Did you mention for these platforms it might be important to disable the likes of spectre and meltdown patches? I have the PlexHD X79 platform for virtual machines with a E5-2673V2 and disabling those patches made a drastic performance improvement in virtual machines

Sadly x58 does not perform well with modern console emulators. Most games in Dolphin and PCSX2 (haven't tried Cxbx-Reloaded or XQEMU due to their limited game compatibility) work fine but when you start to try games with Yuzu and RPCS3 the performance is barely playable for many games (Afterburner Climax runs fine though) and Xenia won't boot since the CPU is missing AVX instruction set. Great Video though, crazy to see that it still runs a lot of modern games well!

RTX 3090 is it compatible? with sabertooth X58 board?

Does this x58 deluxe support overlooking?
