    Overclocking Xeons on a Huananzhi X99-F8 motherboard... let's give this another shot.
    But first... What am I drinking??
    WuShock Wheat from Wichita Brewing Co, the official beer of the WSU Shockers. This is a 4.5% wheat ale with lemon and lime added. Although if you had told me this was a stale Blue Moon poured into a can of Sprite, I would have believed that too.

      Oh man, those Ryzens from Aliexpress sure seem like the best bang for buck currently, if we talk higher end of things. Although I built my own system around 1650v2, because there are really cheap combo options (mobo+cpu+ram) on Ali. So I'd say either option is very good, it's just I didn't really need that extra performance for additional price - decided I'd rather spend the money on a better graphics card. I'll get a Ryzen if I decide to upgrade :3

    I would actually suggest the E5 2678v3 over this chip, its an 87 dollar 12 core 24 thread chip that can be turbo hacked to 3.3ghz all core. When comparing it to say a 2700 it has more memory bandwidth and performs better in all core workloads, such as blender, file compression/decompression, and supports ddr3 and ddr4, thus the Huananzhi x99 TF's existence (but I have the F8 for the 8 dimm ddr4 memory support). It may fall behind in gaming marginally, but overall is not a terrible experience. I have this exact chip with some really killer memory and a vega 56 flashed to a frontier edition.

I run nearly the same setup like you [only flashed my Vega 56 to a Vega 64] and it serves me very well so far since June. The quality of the Huananzhi X99-TF is outstanding for a Chinese board (albeit you have to mod it to get the most out of it, but it was a great learning experience and there are a lot of great tutorials on the web which make it easy).

    Thanks for the video! I think the only advantage to these Chinese server motherboards to users in the west would be that server RAM is still somewhat cheaper than the comparable desktop RAM, and that on a lot of these Chinese motherboards also can handle more memory per slot, plus more slots. If you needed something that memory intensive, it might still make a little sense.

  • @ryanocallaghan8833
    @ryanocallaghan8833 4 роки тому +5

    Hi! This is some great content you have here, I'd like to throw in some of my experiences with X99.
    I run a 1660 v3 myself, I bought this as a brand new tray processor. It was produced in 2018 with batch# J821E556 (I didn't know they continued producing these 22nm dinosaurs this recently!)
    Mine overclocks better than yours (achieves up to 4.5 stable in Realbench) but isn't great compared to the better 5960X's out there, from early 2015 onwards, with a stable 4.6 not being too uncommon and 4.7 being achieved by some, under 1.35v. The AVX offset, which I'd love to have, only works on Broadwell CPUs with X99 and that option doesn't appear at all on my Asus Strix X99, but will do if I had a Broadwell-E processor installed.
    My daily driver with this chip is 4.40 GHz at Auto voltage, which sets 1.31v adaptive.
    I was having the opposite issue with power consumption than you were lol, with me unable to limit power consumption on my chip to prevent it degrading in a worst case scenario. I tried to set the "Short Duration Power Limit" and "Long Duration Power Limit" to 250W and 200W respectively, but that did nothing, still exceeding 300W in AVX Prime (which I only ran for a few seconds to test this) If you happen to know whether I can get this to work via a setting that I am missing or something, that'd be great.
    In terms of real world performance I think you are underestimating these, my personal findings include that I didn't even need to overclock this to it's full potential to match a Ryzen 7 3700X (which I had but sold shortly after deciding I could happily keep an X99 system as my personal machine) in some games, as long as I just kept the RAM tweaked. Overclocking the CPU allows it to exceed the performance of a 3rd gen Ryzen in most cases when gaming, in some games by a larger margin than in others.
    I ordered an RTX 3080 last month which should hopefully be here by mid-November, I'll happily test some more games in a purely CPU bound situation with the new card. The Ryzens are still more efficient however and more well rounded, and them not needing to be overclocked to reach ~full potential, including smart clock speed adjustment based on workload, voltage, temperature, power etc. is a great plus for the vast majority of users. As I type this, AMD may be revealing some new awesome Ryzen 5000 series CPUs in under an hour! xD Motherboard compatibility is also another big plus for Ryzen ofc.
    I hope you read my comment, thanks!

      Have to disagree. Even the low end 5820k will beat 2800x or lower in just about any workload, especially gaming. Even for the odd highly multi threaded task that isnt ram dependent their cinebench scores arent far apart.
      With quad channel ddr4 they can reach speeds any consumer zen+ chip can only dream of. My 5930k scores 50-55ns on the aida64 latency benchmark compared to 80ns+ on any zen+ chip i've ever touched.

I've tried a couple newer ones (8/17/2020, 06/06/2022) and the E5-1650 V3 on it tops out at 3.8 GHz using XTU. This is with or without TDP adjusted in the BIOS as described in this video. If overclocking features are enabled in the BIOS it won't post even if nothing is modified. Any idea where the 2019 BIOS can be found?

    I have an i7-6950X in a HP Z440 at the moment (not officially supported but fully working with ECC memory) and I want to move it into a used gaming case with a 360mm AIO cooler to improve thermals/noise and play with some overclocking. Not sure whether to try this motherboard with the BIOS mod or pay double for a used ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 or similar. I heard plenty of stories of the old X99 boards dying and taking out CPUs on their way. Any recommendations for the best motherboard (known used or Chinese new) to use with the 6950x?

    Well, X99 would have been more fun if Intel hadn't locked down much of their Xeon lineup. As I faced quite some issues on AM4 and had a crappy sample of a Ryzen 2600, my new 2678 V3 system was more fun to tinker with, performs better and cost for CPU + mainboard was about the same in Germany. Considering that I can run that CPU with cheap DDR3-ECC memory, the overall costs would have been even better. AM4 still has some benefits, e.g. the better upgrade path but I don't miss it as AM5 is around the corner anyway and maybe that future platform will be worth the wait, when the prices come down to reasonable levels.

    overlcocking with a x99 chinise board not ideal and worth it, those boards are great at using huge amount of cores at low
    frequencies and huge amount of Ram ideal for heavy computing tasks. unlocking turbo boost and paring with a decent graphics card makes then a decent gaming machine. using then for workloads makes them a budget work beast for you renderings and projects.

    Great videos! I'm amalgamating my UNRAID server with my gaming desktop, and actually about to swap out my Ryzen 5 2600, for one of these boards and a Xeon E5 2678v3 for the 24 threads. I'll have to do this for the all core turbo unlock. I've checked out a lot of benchmarks, and it doesn't seem like I'm going to lose any performance at all between 1080p and 1440p gaming. I figure 4 threads for UNRAID, and the remaining 20 for gaming VM's. I almost feel crazy considering it, but to be honest, a hell of a lot cheaper than a Threadripper or new Ryzen 9 setup without downgrading, considering I live in a market where we have access to everything.
    Thanks for the upload. I wonder if you still have this machine running?

  • @joey_f4ke238

    An actual good value would be the 12 core xeon with the all core boost unlocked and the tdp limit removed, then you would get 12 cores running at 3.3 ghz for only 95 dollars, or maybe the 8 core one that goes to 3.4 for around 45 or 50 dollars. If you get instead the ones compatible with ddr3 then the value goes even higher.
    I ordered myself one of those motherboards with the cheapest v3 xeon at the moment, the e5-2630l v3 wich is an 8 core part with a max turbo boost of 2.9 ghz, nothing too special but is still better than most xeons without the all core unlock mod making it a really good option in my opinion to experiment with the platform and also get some decent performance out of it.

    So by buddy was going to be selling his x99 asus rampage/ i7-5820k to me, and i got a question. Do you think its wise to put it in my main system. I don't intend on cpu swapping till im due for a whole new platform, and currently i'm rocking the r5 2600. The reason i considered swapping is because, from what i can see the i7 will overclock better than my r5, and they have similar performance. Another reason being that i don't just game, i edit footage from time to time. I eventually especially want to do 4k work, and i'll be able to put more ram on the motherboard.

      @mattsmechanicalssi5833 4 роки тому +1

      No. Only the 1600 series V1, V2, and V3 have unlocked multipliers. You can override the turbo to get an all core boost to whatever the max turbo of the chip is. And you can do BCLK OCing, but be careful how high you put the clock. Max for the CPU varies between 103-107MHz. Also, PCI-e devices don't like anything over 100MHz, so that has to be considered as well.
      I am currently running the E5-1680-V2 on an EVGA X79 DARK, at 4.7GHz all core @1.335v. It will hit 5GHz all core at 1.385v, but it is not too stable. Water cooling is a must, even at 4.7GHz.
