My old ass X58 Xeon gets way better than 100fps 1080p cranked with a 1080ti in GTA5, or virtually any other title, so i agree his performance is poor, but i doubt its CPU bound yet, even though a 4ghz OC on a 4770K is pretty piss poor and not really much of an OC. Something is up with drivers or system for sure. a 2600K really is no better than a 4770K so the only upgrade path i would go is Zen2, or newer intel

something seems wrong with that. My X5675 system with a 1080ti will run high refresh rate of over 120fps on ultra settings everything cranked, an will even do over 60fps on 4k gaming on high/ultra with most titles without issue. Im clocked around 4.6 on all cores daily. been a solid rig for the past year since i parted/sold my 4790k system.

IMHO you'd be much better investing in a megasquirt or microsquirt. While the speeduino's are neat and DO work, they are very raw and very unrefined. They'll need another few years for them to become reliably decent. I have one here i got to mess around with. I've been dealing with Megasquirt since early 2000's and it too them many years to get it refined to where it was what i call competitive and good

pm the wallet address and i will mine to it for abit.

now put some clock speed in that thing, 4.4 wuss hahaha.

the emulator as a solution is bullshit anyways same as this 'patch'.

well ended up selling one of the X58 systems i built today (x5660 @4.4ghz), went to a good home i think sold it to a kid for IMHO a good price (at a loss for me but keeps the hobby going) Still one X58 system left (x5680). I already kinda miss it haha.

those are both extremely high temps. they should idle in the mid/high 30's or low 40's max and game at 75c max. I'd RMA it.

90c under a complete and udder bullshit stress test, hell yes i'm fine with that. daily usage even going on some very heavy workload is easily 20c less than that. You need to delid these chips in order to really get results temp wise, the TIM is junk and the lid height on the haswell/devilscanyon chips are really shit. I even push mine past what Intel says is max (1.3V is max daily voltage on haswell). Even if you are too scared to use Liquid metal, using something like MX4 for TIM will cut temps easily 10*C or better.

my delidded 4790k @ 5ghz 1.35V runs low 90's on IBT, and will run low/mid 80's with Aida64, and will virtually never go above 75*C while doing heavy every day workloads with room temps in the 22*C mark with an H100iV2, i run fans/pump at max anything over 65C. delidding is what made all the difference

yup the P6T delux is stable up to 200blck, can push 211 if reaaaaaaaallllyyyyy want but thats it. the other board is a P6T-SE and will hit 225ish. In all honesty i dont see much if a difference pushing the BLCK that high, you pick up some Cinnebench score, but i run them at the stable limit on both BLCK and Multiplier, all of which have been around 4.4-4.5 which in all honesty is pretty damn good for these old chips. I'm surprised my X5680 and the P6TDeluxe survived the punishment streak i gave them to hit 1100CB score. that old 130w xeon took nearly 1.61V Vcore like a champ to boot 5Ghz in windows LOL

I tried ripping the shit out of the PCIE freq, went up to 120 and back down with my P6T boards, and no go, i've dicked and cranked every setting and voltage option i could and even gone places i'm suprised the smoke never got let out. my stable limits are pretty much hard set in the 4.4-4.5 neighborhood with low 200's blck otherwise its not 100% stable (passes aida64, but game for an hour or 3 and it will constantly crash or even just freeze and knock you out of the game randomly)

the 5680's multiplier is semi-unlocked, its adjustable up to 26. either way i had seen 4.9 stable but no way you could run daily there. my 5660 overclocked very similar to the 5680 and scored around the same as well. My recommendation would be stick with the lower tdp parts as it may be easier on the boards VRM's. I still havent been able to surpass the 225BLCK yet (x5660 went that high, x5680 caps at 211blck) atleast on my boards. Tried everything from loose ram timing, turning down the memory speed, turning down the ulck, etc just couldnt make that jump I'm happy with the results and i think anyone wanting an X58 based system cannot go wrong with any of the X56XX chips as from what i see they all overclock virtually the same.

if i could i would, unfortunately i built a system in it, delt with some of the design flaws, and what ever its together. I was super stoked to get the case, but super disappointed in it. maybe it just left a bad taste in my mouth, but alteast its a decent looking case, but not worth the money imho for being marketed as a premium case

no shit i own this pile of shit corner cut case
