So I benchmarked my system that has a 8 year old CPU (Xeon W3680)I wasn't expecting much but with my overclock of 4...

lol I just got 397.6 on my 1600 not overclocked at all while running background tasks at 5-6%

disabled dynamic clocks all that shit, how do they get 364 on their sample

Cinebench R15 I get around 1000CB meaning Ryzen is 10% faster for 300% more money, not to mention DDR4 prices

I own a Xeon X5650 and a ryzen 5 1600. At 4Ghz my xeon is still a bit slower than my ryzen 1600 and consumes more than double the energy the 1600 needs(at 4Ghz i am close to 150W with the xeon while the ryzen just can deliver better performance with less than 65W.
Still the Xeon is for 30$ a great cpu and everybody that doesn't want to buy overpriced ddr4 ram and is okay with no real upgrades for that socket in the future can gladly buy such an old but powerful cpu.
Also if i would push my x5650 to 4,5Ghz it surely would be faster than my stock ryzen 5 1600, but then again i would be consuming more than 200W for the cpu alone with such a borderline oc. Also if you would overclock your 1600 to 4Ghz as well(also pretty high) it would beat the xeon at 4,5Ghz without any doubt and would consume less power too.

It's not worth upgrading but this is my 1600.

I got an HP Z800 for something like $400, with 48GB of RAM and two X5675 CPUs. It outperforms all modern chips for sure. There is litterally no reason to upgrade past SandyBridge at this point.

Well it depends on how important power consumption is for you. If you plan of running that 24/7 you want to run a modern and more efficient chip. Also if you want to run it in summer you might find it hard to work in a room that's 30°C+ because your computer is just wasting so much energy.

Also i got my xeon x5650, 24GB Ram, be quiet! Dark Rock 2 and an asus p6t deluxe v2 motherboard for 200€, still glad i got a ryzen 1600 for my main rig so im not living in a hell on earth if i turn on my pc in summer.

The price you are going to pay extra for similar performing new gear is probably quadruple the cost of the extra electricty over the first three years of ownership. I do feel bad for people who dont live with AC though.

Well i pay 0.001€ for one 1KWh so i guess i will never be in a "profit" but the fucking room temperature is already above 30°C when it's 6pm with the ryzen so i guess i would hit 30°C at 12am with my beloved x5650. Also the AC is true but i'm still going to uni so i guess i don't have the cash for a room with AC.

can u post wallpaper pls

my phone is faster

Your Uni makes you pay the electric bill? Or am I reading that wrong?

People who keep talking about temps, my room has ac so idle is 20-25c and prime 95 temps after an hour are 70c, most people with the high temps either have a warm room or have much more voltage

It's only faster than a bone-stock 1600, even a 1600 with a mild OC to 3.8 GHz is faster. Still not worth the upgrade though unless you care about power usage.

>vs. Stock
I have a survey open in a forum, people benching theirs with 3.5 GHz

Still hurts to see that 150 € Ryzen beating my old 5820K
On a Phenom now until Ryzen 2, but I still have this in my server PC, moderate OC 3.6 ghz

How does Ryzen beat 5820K? stock 5820k @ 3.6 Ghz turbo and 3.3. base?

Opinion discarded

Wow, I don't think I've seen a thread this relevant to me.. ever.

I just bought a x5690 and a corsair h105 to replace my i7 930 @ 3.8ghz and air cooler. Wanted an upgrade, didn't want to take it in the ass on ram prices, new mobo, new cpu that still has specter / meltdown issues.

Aiming for 4.5-4.8 on the x5690, might turn off hyper-threading, going to install it today. I think your W3680 should be fine, OP. Don't waste the money.

I got around 3600 on 4.4 GHz, but with massive heat dissipation and consumption. Yes Haswell-E is slow as fuck.

interessant. koennte dir in 24h was zum 1600 sagen oder jetzt gleich zum x5650.

But why Intel uses AMD graphics?
I'm waiting for a moment, when Intel buys reds...

Why are you trying so hard to keep your CPU under 60C?

Attached: Untitled.png (636x793, 35K)

it hits 70c with a 51% load.

Why are you running it like that? Drop to 1.2V or 1.1V. A 100MHz drop can often unlock a whole lot of undervolting. You may find you can still hit 3.5/3.6GHz at 1.1V.

Man if only power wasn't an issue where I live. I wonder how much an itx variant of such xeon cpu would cost.

ITX uses the same socket, look and see if there are any ITX motherboards for that xeon socket.

Your main problem is going to be cooling that processor in a presumably tiny case.

Mine needs like 1.28v for 3.4ghz all cores
Hell it'll boot @ 4.0ghz @ 1.35 but as soon as I hit it with a load it black screens 1.363v is as low as I can get @ 3.82 and anything above that isn't stable even @ 1.4v

6c12t 4.4ghz westmere fag reporting in. I watched a video that showed that 2 Titan Vs hit the PCI-E 2.0 x16 bandwidth limit (PCI-E 3.0 x8), and ran slower than 3.0 was required for anything around that amount of power. How long do you think I have, 16 months before 2000 series Nvidia GPUs come out and I need something better for my SLI setup? It was only about a 6 fps drop, but still, worried.

Fixing corrupt engrish:
The PCI-E 2.0 x16 equivalent PCI-E 3.0 x8 hit the limit, and showed lower performance with 2 Titan Vs in ashes with implicit multigpu. Me, using westmere, am concerned as I am still using the old PCI-E 2.0 x16 interface on my mb, which supports quadsli with 3 x16 and 1 x8 interfaces, of which I only use 2 for 1080ti SLI atm. I get numbers currently equal to any modern rig as far as gaming fps performance. However, I think if this bandwidth limit has been reached, it is only a matter of time before my motherboard itself (CPU is probably fine as far as perf) that supports westmere is going to be a bottleneck for modern cards.
