  1. My newest HEDT system. I'm probably going to buy a Xeon E5-2690 8c/16t for this system, this is one of the older versions of Lenovo ThinkStation S30 which don't support Ivy Bridge. I might also buy another 4x16GB 1600MHz kit to get 128GB RAM total which should be decent for Chrome.
  2. What CPU? That Intel B75 board does have PCIe 3.0 when used 3rd gen CPU but with 2nd gen CPU it's PCIe 2.0.
  3. They don't get hot so there isn't any need to delid. I tried overclocking a Pentium E5200 few years ago
  4. I've used DaVinci Resolve 16 on Windows 7 without any problems.
  5. This thread reminded me of a movie that was shot on a Nokia N8. I've never watched it but I read about it some years ago. https://www.slashgear.com/nokia-n8-filmed-feature-film-olive-hits-theaters-this-month-02199622/
  6. For the sub I'd recommend checking the speaker size settings. On my Yamaha receiver for some reason the sub was on only when the main speakers were set to small, medium or large (I don't remember which).
  7. Optiplex 390 BIOS doesn't seem to have support for 3rd gen (Ivy Bridge) CPUs. The older Sandy Bridge E3-1240 would work
  8. WinDV still works on Windows 10. I don't know about PCI-E FireWire cards but the built-in FireWire ports on my Asus P6X58D-E motherboard and HP Z400 Workstation works without any problems. I just recently copied over 80GB of videos from MiniDV tapes
  9. At least SEUS shaders work just fine on my X5670 even at stock, though I have a piece of crap 2GB GTX 960 which is the bottleneck.
  10. X5670 has higher multiplier than the X5650 but it's also better binned so it might overclock higher or need less voltage for the same frequency. X5675 is the one people usually recommend because it's even better binned and doesn't cost anywhere near as much as X5680 and X5690. X5690 (and X5680) only makes sense for non-overclockable dual CPU systems and maybe for non-overclockable single socket systems but for those there is Xeon W3680 (i7-980X) and W3690 (i7-990X) that can be overclock via Intel XTU because they have unlocked multiplier. I have a X5670 @ 4.4GHz (22x200, 1.385v or something) in my main PC
  11. X5670 is 2.93GHz and has 3.33GHz turbo. X5650 is the 2.66GHz (3.06GHz turbo) one. The only OC capable dual LGA1366 motherboard is the really expensive EVGA SR-2. Most likely it isn't possible to make a custom bios with OC capability. I have heard that some people have been able to overclock on the Z800 by using SetFSB, but I don't know what the right clock generator for it is.
  12. He has a HP Z800 Workstation so he can't overclock. 4.4GHz X5670 is still slightly slower in single core than the 4770 but obviously in multicore the Xeon is faster. The closest thing to an overclocked X5670 in performance is the Ryzen 5 1600. At stock X5670 single core performance isn't great but it's still better than AMD FX-series CPUs that some people still use
  13. What Xeons are they? If they are lower end ones for the socket, they aren't worth much. For example 4c/8t Xeons for LGA1366 or LGA2011 aren't worth much. But 4c/8t Xeons for mainstream platforms (that don't have CPUs with more cores) are worth more. Most LGA1366 6c/12t aren't worth much more than about 30€ because there is so many of them available and they can be overclocked. On LGA2011 high clocked Xeons with 6c/12t or more can be worth quite a bit more
  14. Cinebench R23 results from few PCs: Xeon X5670 @ 4.4GHz (5464 pts) i7-4800MQ @ stock (3288 pts) Xeon X5677 @ stock (2996 pts) i5-3450 @ 3.9GHz 1-2 cores, 3.8GHz 3 cores and 3.7GHz all 4 cores (2924 pts)
  15. Cinebench R23 on a X5670 @ 4.4GHz (5464 pts) X5677 4c/8t @ stock (2996 pts)
  16. CRT monitors and HD CRT TVs are 31kHz or higher which is way above what humans can hear. Most SD CRT TVs are 15kHz which you can hear if you aren't too old. Good CRT monitors have really good motion response, ~0ms response time, high refresh rate, really good colors, no native resolution, good depth (picture looks like 3D), good contrast (in a dim room, in studio lighting CRTs and Plasmas look washed out). Cheap CRT monitors usually can't do more than 60Hz on higher resolutions and the colors and sharpness might not be as good. And worn out CRTs can be quite dim, washed out and blurry HD CRT TV's usually have a bit of lag caused by scaling etc. and they are only 50Hz or 60Hz. Even 100Hz CRT TV's only do frame doubling to get the high refresh rate. It would be nice if Linus could make a video of Sony GDM-FW900 which is a 24" 16:10 CRT with 2304x1440@80Hz "native" resolution. At 1920x1200 it can do at least 95Hz. They are pretty hard to find, especially one that doesn't have a lot of power on hours Edit: I forgot to link this video
  17. My best graphics card is a GTX 960 but I can't really use it for folding because it has really loud blower cooler (Asus Turbo OC). Not that it would have good ppd either. I'm probably going to buy some GTX 1070 Ti or 1080 for my main PC when RTX 30 and RX 6000 series cards are out
  18. I'm getting a lot of points with my GTX 760 and GTX 660 but don't worry, I'm not in the event. (I know this is nothing compared to what modern graphics cards get :D)
  19. There is a long discussion about the Pro1 on maemo.org forums http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=100554
  20. It has an ARM11 (ARMv6) CPU so it can't run any modern apps even if you installed newer ROM for it. I had a ARMv6 phone (ZTE Blade) in 2012-2013 and even back then many apps and especially higher end games already required ARMv7 CPU. In 2013 I installed CyanogenMod 10.1 on it and there wasn't really any more apps available than for Android 2.2
  21. What does GPU-Z say about it?
