  1. I ran it again on the i7-4800MQ and i7-5600U but this time also ran the single core test. I also managed to run it on an i3-4150 with only 8GB RAM i7-4800MQ MC 188 SC 49 i7-5600U MC 98 SC 52 i3-4150 MC 114 SC 51
  2. Cinebench 2024 on my X5670 @ 4.4GHz. I had to run it in a macOS VM because the Windows version requires AVX2 while the Mac version only needs SSE4.2
  3. Cinebench 2024 on a X5670 6c/12t @ 4.4GHz in a macOS VM because the Windows version requires AVX2 319 pts.
  4. The Windows version of Cinebench 2024 requires AVX2 and I only have 3 computers which have it and only 2 of them have the minimum RAM requirement (16GB). macOS version only needs SSE4.2 and I've confirmed it does run in a VM on a system without AVX2 i7-4800MQ 183 pts. i7-5600U 93 pts.
  5. You pretty much need a quad core CPU for the GPU upgrade. Even with a quad core the CPU will be the bottleneck in many games. Also those old AMD K10 based CPUs don't have SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2 and AVX instruction sets so many games from the mid 2010s and up won't run at all. AMD didn't add them until AMD FX in 2011
  6. The X5365 is an older 65nm CPU so it's more like a QX6850. The 45nm Q(X)9650 equivalent Xeons would be the E5450 and X5450 I actually have a server with 2x E5450 or X5450 (idk which because it reports as having both lol) but I haven't ran R10 on it so here's R11.5
  7. It does list few 32nm CPUs like the i7-980X/990X and W3680/W3690. They have the same CPUID as the X5600 series CPUs and as far as I know use the same microcode. So technically the X5650 should work but I've heard some older X58 boards don't like 2 QPI line CPUs. But I did find this comment in the 'General Intel HEDT Xeon/i7 Discussion thread'. They mention of using a X5670 on the GA-EX58-UD3R rev1.0 and everything runs fine
  8. That's weird, I've never had an issue like that on either of my Z400's (4 DIMM and 6 DIMM models) Officially sure, but they should work just fine with regular non-ECC DDR3 up to 8GB DIMMs for a total of 48GB (or 32GB in the older 4 DIMM version). Though most ECC Registered sticks don't work
  9. 4.5GHz is pretty normal for X5675. I've ran my X5670 @ 4.4GHz (50% overclock) for years
  10. SSD is a huge improvement over HDD even on SATA 1 and SATA 2, for regular use random read and write matters more than sequential read and write. You also don't need PCIe 3.0 for a GTX 960, even much faster cards are fine with PCIe 2.0
  11. Not possible, and even if it was it would make no sense due to the cost. Just get a E5-2697 v2 which has few less cores and thread but is compatible with the Z420. The E7-4880 v2 was meant for really expensive high end multi-socket servers.
  12. Some people have ran userbenchmark on the M2610 with an i7-4770 and i7-4790. While userbenchmark is a garbage benchmark/website it's still useful for checking compatibility https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Acer-Extensa-M2610/27588
  13. Those X5600 series Xeons don't have unlocked multiplier so you'd have to overclock them by increasing BCLK anyway. Does the motherboard have a VRM heatsink? In pictures it has mounting holes but not one installed. Honestly I wouldn't bother overclocking at all on a board like that, it looks really cheaply built and doesn't even have triple channel memory or Gigabit ethernet.
  14. LGA1366 was just like LGA2011 when it comes to the product segmentation. LGA1156 for mainstream and LGA1366 for server/enterprise/enthusiast. LGA1366 never got i3 or i5 CPUs You can use LGA2011 Xeons on consumer X79 boards just like you can use LGA1366 Xeons on consumer X58 boards.
  15. Chrome can definitely use more than that without dying
  16. I finally switched the X5670 back in to my main PC and the badly binned X5675 in to a HP Z400. A bit surprisingly I was able to open the socket without removing the cooler mounting bracket, but since the cooler is from the LGA1366 days it was probably designed that way. Also in less than two months it will be 10 years since I bought my first X58 system.
  17. The performance difference between the i5-2400 and i5-3450 is really small so you aren't losing much by not being able to upgrade it
  18. @unclewebb should be able to help you. But from what I know it should be safe to uncheck BD PROCHOT on ThrottleStop. I've had it disabled on my T440p for years because otherwise it would be stuck at 800MHz like your laptop
  19. The i7-7700 has hardware decoding for VP9 codec which the i7-6700 doesn't have. VP9 is still used by most YouTube videos but some use the newer AV1 codec. Only 11th gen CPU's iGPU and newer have AV1 hardware decoding. NVIDIA cards have VP9 decoding on GTX 10 series and newer (and GTX 750, 950 and 960). And AV1 on RTX 30 series and newer AMD has VP9 decoding at least on RX 400 series and newer and AV1 on RX 6x50 series and newer
  20. It's still a decent CPU if it's cheap and definitely a big upgrade from a 775 based system.
  21. Do you already have them both? If not then E5-1680 v2 if you can find one for cheap. It's the fastest unlocked CPU for the X79 platform Iceberg Tech tested the E5-1680 v2 a month ago. He hasn't tested the 4960X but it probably wouldn't be much faster than the 4930K and 3960X which he has tested The closest thing to the E5-2697 v2 he has tested is the E5-2680 v2 which has 2c/4t less than the E5-2697 v2 but I don't think that makes a big difference
  22. Your motherboard probably has some power limit. What board is it or is it an OEM system?
  23. My dad has a WMP54G (ver. 4.1) and it works just fine on Linux out of the box. The speed is enough for normal web browsing, 1080p YouTube playback etc. I also have one in an old Athlon XP 2400+ Windows XP system. Both of the cards were bought in around 2008-2009.
