  • the e5-2699 v3 Xeon has 18 cores, 36 threads and is now only $200...(!) that would seem like an absolute bargain, or is it? Let's build a PC and look at this CPU vs a i9-10980 Xe.

    I did the same a few years ago, resurrecting a 2012 Dell, dual Xeon workstation and getting the fastest xeons that would fit in it.
    But I just bought a Comet Lake (10th gen) gaming PC, and the more current processor will do about 60% more work single threaded or about double the work per core, full load vs. full load.
    So what adds up to 32 threads of gen 2, e5-2690 only does double the work of 8 threads of gen 10, i5-10300H.
    At least theoretically according to geekbench scores. The laptop is still on the way so I haven't tested it yet.

    X5 2695 v4 / 64gb DDR4 2400 ECC / 1tb SSD / Twin Fan Water cooler / 600w psu + cheapo case / an old 4gb GTX 970 i picked up for £43 (not using the machine for gaming!)

    i bought a 2680v3 for around 110 usd. it "only" has 12c/24t, but i thing for price/performance of it is even better than the 18core one. the only problem is that i have only a gtx 750 (2gb) right now. however i will buy a tesla m40, that is around a 980 ti is performance, but with 24gb of memory. the gtx 750 will stay as display gpu. this rig is a very good as a budget gaming pc/workstation. also i can upgrade later to the 2699v3, but now, i will use my 2680v3 for a long time i guess.

    I've built a Workstation with this exactly motherboard and the E5-2696V3 CPU, which is exactly like 2699 but with extra 200mhz, so it clocks at 3.8Ghz instead of 3.6.
    I tweaked a lot with it and I've managed to hit 4.0Ghz with it with 103.5 base clock OC, quite a feat, the most powerful Haswell machine in the world according to userbenchmark.
    For people interested in performance here are some stats:
    Cinebench R15 - 2842
    CPU-Z - Single=426 Multi=8085
    And has Brian has said, it has the best cache memory ever, it's ridiculously fast.

    That sucks that you got one of the new WD ssds, I couldn't tell but from the looks of it it only had one ram module so that's not good... Especially for an editing rig, although I suppose we're going to find out how and what.. I don't know why I keep pausing to try to figure out what the components are LOL, I spent 5 minutes on the ram module and you're the guy that kind of taught me how to overclock ram.. well started it anyways I'm still trying to figure it out at this point.
    Speaking of Xeon, I found your channel looking up some sort of possible specs for my 4930k because it was never included in any of the Roundup CPU performance benchmarks anywhere, turns out it's cuz it was a i v e bridge x79 Xeon.. I thought I was fucking myself by buying a CPU just before the refresh, been with me for a good almost a decade now, just overclocked it like a year ago when apparently I realized it should have been doing it this whole time and I didn't I think I may be bumped the voltage up .01 maybe things like 1.28 if I recall, whatever it was it was it was tiny, combine that with your power delivery settings or what have you, and it's running a butter smooth 4-4 on all six cores and been doing so without hitch for about a year now.. didn't affect the ram timings at all, quad channel DDR3 2400, I think cl 13 11 9 9 31 I could be totally wrong I'm outside smoking on my phone LOL, but pretty much the only thing I've missed from a modern system is the modern day instruction sets..
    I have a ryzen build that's been sitting there for months initially I put it off because I was trying to lock down a perfect custom ROM so I wouldn't have to fight Windows 10 everyday until I realized that that was never going to be possible again... Got the scripts I was going to have to run, learned way more about the windows back end then I ever thought I would ever have to know, and then Windows 11 got an announced.. so now my excuses that I'm trying to lock down exactly how to declaw skynix ram because I have 4400 cl19 gskill 32 GB dual rank memory module s 64 gigs in total, on a ryz3n 3900x lol... In my defense, I couldn't find the ones I had initially picked out at 3800 cl16 so I knew I was going to have to downclock it, and I was like can I do this I looked it up they said I could.. they didn't tell me how or that information on skynix is like trying to find human resources files from Activision Blizzard.. go figure that all of the high-end g skill dims are using skynix, instead of Samsung like they were last year.. which is fine who knows if it's good or not, theoretically the specs say I should be able to do it, if only I could find a program that could actually tell me what it is because g still ain't telling LOL...
    So fortunately, thanks to you largely last year when I was doubling down on sticking with the 4930k, getting the 2400 32 gigs of RAM, and you're overclocking guide and just general love for the ive bridge x79, something that people just don't even talk about it seems.. it goes straight from the i7 3700 to the i7 4700 to straight to haswell in all of those benchmarks and I just sit there going fyou steve, or Brian, or Tim.. can't think of anybody else, put outside of yourself that pretty much the only benchmarks I've seen in the modern day for that are I think in Italian dude and some Russian dudes. And then a video from 2013 or something of Linus unboxing 4960x, so imagine my surprise when I turned out it wasn't just a refresh kick to the side like 1100 series this year, but was actually a whole separate class of off-boarded server CPUs.. guy I wish I had known how easy it was to overclock, and have guaranteed it was to overclock so high in 2013, LOL like it had great performance it's had great performance and it certainly out class anything at the time on the consumer market other than the 49 60 x which was what $400 more or something like that 5% more performance, but considering I could have had 8700k performance in 2013 I'm a little miffed, I knew hardware back then but I sure didn't know shit about the internet lol
    I had done some experimentation with pushing it further, but I ended up getting sidetracked by my fight with Windows 10 to not try to run my computer like a cell phone, a fight that I fight every single day cuz I have the home version currently installed, but one that yields rewards by comparison and is entirely worth it,.. but, when I do actually get that 3900x filled together, which by the way I bought that $3,900x in 2020 like in April, I had a build together back then but my wife accidentally return the parts and then I was just like fuck it at that point cuz I had already installed the new ram for the Zion, so this is kind of been I've never been in a situation before where I had a PC that worked just fine and another PC that had you know not been put together it's always been once you got all the parts you put the PC together cuz he didn't have shit at the time because usually usually new pc time was when something blew up or well, just you know died because.. well let's just say It still cracks me up that MSI has turned into some sort of premium brand*
    so I guess all I got to say is watch those WD drives and thank you a lot your channel means a lot to me :-)
    *. back in the old days they were the the brand that you bought because it would work and you could afford it, especially if you're prior MSI motherboard decided to die for no reason, although fool me once shame on me fool me three times I bought one of their laptops back in 2009 it spent so much time at the RMA cuz I bought the fries RMA that it literally could not be RMA anymore they gave it back to me and it didn't work and it was out of the warranty that I paid for and at that point I was just sitting there kind of having my eyes been opened about what was about to get so much worse.. over the next 10 years lol.

It was a great buy back then (performance/price)...but fast forward...only if you are looking for a low budget build with good performance (adequate for gaming).

      HuananZhi: X99TF (4 lots DDR3/4slots DDR4) or X99T8 (8 slots DDR3) of X99F8 (8 slots DDR4). I own two X99TF's...ordered one and the delivery failed in the first quarter of 2020 (covid supply chain issues). I got that money refunded fully on AliEx and re-ordered. The second order arrived in about 3 weeks. Then, 3 months later, the initial/failed order arrived. Both boards were new and in perfect condition. As I ordered on a discount sale for US$100, each board (in effect) cost $50.
      One is paired with a turbo unlocked E5-2678v3 and 4x8GB of DDR3 (1866) Mushkin Redline desktop ram. The second X99TF (for my office) is paired with a turbo-unlocked E5-2696v3 and 48GB of DDR4 (3200) corsair vengeance desktop ram.
      I usually buy ASUS boards and had upgraded from a P9X79 Pro + E5-1680v2 (OC'd to 4.5Ghz) for the office. The 2696v3 w/X99TF was a nice upgrade and quite cheap in price ($50 motherboard + $46 CPU). X99TF build quality is excellent (10 layer PCB, quality caps, good VRM cooling, nice design, dual NVME slots, BT M.2 slot, etc.). Having experienced these boards for over 3 years...I would not pay any premium for a used premium branded X99 board. IMHO.

    And I will assemble the second computer on the Chinese motherboard Jingsha x99 8i, an analogue of the asus x99, only in Jingsha x99 8i you can stick 256 gigabytes of memory and it is more flexible in overclocking the xeon "e 2696-v3" processor, a lot of overlocker BIOS firmware and powerful power supply phases vrm.

    • @jb678901
      @jb678901 10 місяців тому

      Personally, I prefer the X99TF from Huananzhi. Very similar design/layout. Easy to turbo-unlock (with under-volt offsets). Has 8 slots supporting either 4 slots for DDR3 or 4 slots for DDR4. The X99F8 variant differs in that all 8 slots are for DDR4, while the X99T8 variant has all 8 slots for DDR3. 10 layer PCB...quality caps...excellent power delivery with good VRM cooling...nice design with 2 NVME m.2 positions (one is for bootable OS) and another m.2 for BT. Seems to consistently get positive reviews. After three years of use with 2 systems (office: w/E5-2696v3 + 48GB DDR4, and family room: w/E5-2678v3 + 32GB DDR3)...I am fully satisfied with the HZ X99TF.
