Hey! i was thinking about building a home server since most old server parts these days can be bought for a bargain (especially memory) im planning to use an e5-2697 v4 18 core with a rando atx chinese motherboard from ebay my questions are: 1. is there any performance loss from cheaping out on memory speed? (especially with 2 sticks, because im planning to scale up in the future) 2. can i mix ecc and non ecc memory modules? (a reasonable person would assume ecc is an optional feature that can be turned off but you never know) cheers!

Intel Haswell-E (Xeon & Ex) upcoming Broadwell & Skylake.
wng_kingsley7 posted a blog entry in wng_kingsley7's Blog
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/CPU-Hardware-154106/News/Intel-Haswell-EP-Engineering-Sample-E5-2600-v3-Ebay-1119099/ With Intel rapidly shifting forward their current lineage of 9 series micro-processor (both the haswell refresh & upcoming 14nm aka Broadwell) and motherboards H97/Z97 to online retailers. For a small period of time since maybe February or March there has been a small discussion regarding the upcoming revision of Intel’s highest end platform 2011-3. Having remembered when the Engineering sample of the next revision 2011-3 I decided to research some more and found out that the leaked workstation/server grade Haswell-E CPU had a tremendous 14 core count enabled (so 14c/24hc) of course it being part of the Xeon E5 family had validation to run in any dual socket cpu (only rev.3 due to the change in revision 0 - 3), DDR4 supporting 2133mhz standard, higher levels of cache with the upcoming Wellsburg chipset C610. To be more accurate here is a quote from wccftech Here is a link to it being enlisted on Ebay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/201079451724 To be clear this is the Haswell-EP not EX however it does broaden the gap to understanding that Intel will be pushing the core count for enthusiasts, extreme over-clockers & highly multi-threaded applications. Aside from the latest high-end Ivy-Bridge Xeon E5 2696 v2 which is a 12 core, I've rechecked with other sites & articles regarding the leaked E5 2600 v.3 and boy it’s tough to put my finger on but from but there has been a rumoured 16 and 18 core edition floating around. Mouth watering yet or mybe your mind blown (due to the mount of text)? Unfortunately it doesn't stop here since Broadwell has been delayed to be officially launched in the last quarter of this year in-conjuction with possibly Haswell-E/X99, Intel have working towards their deadline to display early produce of Broadwell-EP. kylke -
Hey guys, first off, sry if this topic exist but I couldn't find it. I heard its a well known problem, but I want to hear your opinions and what u would do in this situatuon. Money is not a topic atm System: MSI X99A Tomahawk, Intel 6800k, 3000Mhz Corsair Dominator Platinum, EVGA 1080 SC, 256GB M.2 SSD 950 Pro, 2TB WD BLACK, 1TB 850 Evo, 1000 Watt Be Quiet, 280 be quiet silent loop, Case: Be quiet dark base 900 pro So here is the problem, when I set the RAM to 3000MHZ the system gets a blue screen after 5-10 min and I cannot overclock the CPU. Will a better Motherboard fix this issue? this is my only idea i have in mind. Sry for my language, but anyway thanks for your help. -
Hey all, I have the Xeon E5-2699 CPU and I'm looking for a motherboard to best match my gaming needs. Before you go all berserk, I did not buy this CPU especially for gaming (in fact I didn't buy it at all), but this will be the usage 90% of the time. I'm looking for a motherboard with as many USB connectors as possible, without compromising on high build quality. I am not aware of any special features which would interest me, however, I am open to ideas. So.. I pretty much have 2 "main" companies in my country which I could choose from. Gigabyte and Asus. Honestly, the price isn't really an issue, but let's say 400$ is the top (since it would probably cost more in my country). For reference - The Asus SABERTOOTH X99 costs about 450$ in my country, which is acceptable to me. What could you recommend? Thank you, Kfir

So, I bought this Xeon E5 2650 v4 from Amazon (sold & shipped). The only SKU for it that turns up on Google has 2011-v3 socket type associated with it, which is the kind of server board I have for my application. Here's the issue, the processor that I got sent has the right etchings on it, but it's NOT 2011-v3 as can be seen in the attached picture. The sticker at the bottom of the cpu box says "LGA2011V4" on it. The question is, what sorcery is this? And what's LGA2011V4? Thanks.
-
So, long story short, my motherboard is missing a pin or two, from the innermost ring, the most important pins. So, I need referrals to people/companies who you know to be good at what they do, and can get a new socket put on the board, IE BGA reworking. I would just buy a new board, but, that would cost me about $300-$400, as it is a Rampage V Edition 10, LGA 2011-3, since I can’t afford that, I’m looking into socket replacement, anybody here know a guy who knows a guy?

Hi, Just wondering if anyone else out there had this idea, I was thinking of using either an X99 or C612 board for pfSense with my 10Gbe network, probably something like an i7-6800K because of stupid fast clock speeds to drive routing and possiblity OpenVPN. I have an I've Bridge E3 server running pfSense right now and my iperf speeds have been underwhelming to say the least (tops out around 4Gbps). I could probably change some tunables but I don't ever see it getting much faster due to hardware limitations. Is anyone else out there running a setup like that for pfSense? Perhaps in ESXi, with an HTPC GPU passthrough? Heh. Lots of ideas... -
Hi I'm looking for stable workstation motherboard that can hold two Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2630 v4 CPU and 16 x DDR4 2400 memory, does not need to be a SLI capable. I'm building a rig for virtualization and lab testing for my exams. What is a top workstation motherboard at this time? Thanks

hi all, i bought this ASRock X99 ITX motherboard almost right after it was released in 2015, for about $275. Now (over two years later!) I'm looking at the prices for the same board and it hardly is cheaper! Why? Is it only because it's the only 2011-3 itx board out there? Thanks for your comments! -
Did anyone tried E5-1660 v3 on that motherboard? Support list mentions only E-1630 v3 & E-1680 v3 & E5-1660 v4 as well. I sent support ticket to Gigabyte but they told me, that they don't have that specific CPU right now and cannot confirm. Anyone? -
I've been running a 3930k for 4 and a half years now with this cooler: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX36377 Doesn't seem so bad, right? Not super cheap, mounted well, decent enough airflow, good paste, blah blah blah... At idle, the 3930k on this cooler sits around 42-45 C. At half load it'll jump into the 75-80 C range. At 100% load it will throttle from a 42x multiplier to a 37-39x after about 10 minutes. Without any overclocking (38x multiplier) It will sustain a 100% load for quite awhile before throttling but it will do so around the 85 C to 90 C range. Tj Max is 91C on this CPU. If you're running a CPU that pumps out a lot of wattage, especially if you're overclocking it (this can touch 200w at 100% load with a 43x multiplier), throw on a higher-end CPU cooler. I don't have any hard and fast recommendations other than the fact that the one I linked just isn't cutting it. It really seems like, for an E-series CPU you'll need a cooler with more surface area to heat up and remove heat from the CPU than a midrange CPU cooler can provide. Naturally, because it's running so hot, it's also a very noisy PC once you have any load. Do yourself and your ears a favour and throw a high-end cooler on an E-series chip. -
So, here it is. The new member of the X99 family. Gigabyte GA-X99P-SLI, which claims to be the first motherboard with Thunderbolt 3 and X99. Compared to a MSI X99S Gaming 9 or Asus Rampage V Extreme looks quite strong. Any thoughts? http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5658#ov

So it's 4 o' clock in the morning here in Germany and I'm wondering what the highest, but safe voltage on a Haswell-E CPU is. We all know the answers: "Don't go above 1.4V, or the CPU dies". - "1.5V will burn your house down" - "1.6V will melt steel beams!" - right? The thing is that I have never seen anyone doing an actual test about this - probably because no one wants to kill their CPU I guess. So instead I thought I look a bit into Intel's "LGA2011-3 Socket Datasheet" in hope to get the final answer... First you should know that this datasheed is probably the most confusing piece of text I've ever seen since the existance of the god damn bible, but that won't stop me from reading it. Maybe at that point I should link to it: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/core-i7-lga2011-3-datasheet-vol-1.html Anyway, I was looking around and found the "Processor Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings" on page 51. Now there are different voltages listed, like Vccin, Vccd, Vccio_in and Vccpeci. And if you're confused at that point I can understand why. So the first thing I did was to find out what all of these things actually mean. I found this very helpful site: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/understanding-all-voltage-configurations-from-the-motherboard/4/ They wrote the following about Vcc: So if Vcc is the "main CPU voltage" or "Vcore" as we all know and love it, then it might get interesting now. Intel claims that the absolute maximum Vccin (Vcc IN) voltage for 2011-3 CPUs is 1.98V. Okay, done. Let's all overclock the hell out of our CPUs and put them at 1.98V! Yeah, good luck with that. Intel also states, that these ratings are "outside functional operation condition limits, but within absolute maximum and minimum ratings" and that "neither functionality nor long-term reliability can be expected". So that means, that even if you run your CPU at 1.98V it probably won't die, but you won't be able to get anything out of it other than a blackscreen. But that leaves us with the question, where is the point that leaves us with a functional, stable but heavily overclocked CPU without risking the lifetime of it? 1.3V? 1.4V? 1.5V? 1.6V? 1.7V? Well I don't know and that is where I have a ton of questions. Who told you, that 1.4V is the maximum you should ever go for on a CPU? By how much do we reduce the lifetime of our CPUs if we're going higher than that? Is this even covered by warranty? And the most important one: Am I even correct with all the assumtions I just made? (I probably did a ton of mistakes and at the end there is probably something wrong with it, but we'll see...) Now it's 4:22am. Good night... -
Hello guys, so my current build uses a i7 3770k CPU with a cheap ASUS mobo. I used to have a better one but it stop working and I had to buy something really quick to continue my work. I wanted to upgrade the mobo for a long time, since the one I have right now is really messing everything up (it doesn't even support sata3 and I use ssd) However, I can't find any available on my country (Greece) or even amazon and the new ones I find are pricey for my needs. So my question is, should I keep searching/spend the money for the mobo or look into upgrading the whole rig? I'm leaning towards upgrading. If you too think upgrade is the answer, what would you recommend? I was thinking between 2011-3 or the newer 1151. To help a bit, I am a web/app developer (main job) and music producer, so I host various kind of server stuff for my applications in my computer. I might play some games but not really crazy ones. I don't need a full rig, just your opinions on the cpu/mobo combinations and which socket is more appropriate for my needs Thanks a lot for your time!

What exactly is the difference between the two? and why is the base model more expensive? Sorry if someone has posted this already before, but I couldn't find it, and the Asus page isn't really helpful. -
So, I want to know what is the best CPU cooler from this list(I can only buy it in a certain store, the links are the product page links, and don't worry about compatibility issues): Thermaltake Frio Advanced Thermaltake FrioOCK Snow Edition Thermaltake NiC C4 Untouchable Thermaltake Frio Extreme Arctic Cooling Freezer i32 Arctic Cooling Freezer i32 CO Noctua NH-D15 Noctua NH-D15S And I want to know what is the best thermal paste from this list: The one that comes with the cooler you suggested Arctic Cooling MX-4 Arctic Silver 5(Maybe, not sure, if it's not a big difference just suggest something else, I just heard good things about it so i put it here) Noctua NT-H1 HYBRID Zalman ZM-STG2

Since it's only a few months away from being released, I think I might wait and build a Broadwell-E X99 system!

Hi. I was wondering what is the best x99 motherboard for my uses and just is aesthetically pleasing. The ones I am considering are: Asus Rampage V Extreme, Gigabyte GA-X99-UD7 WIFI, MSI X99S XPower AC, MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC. I am going with the Msi gtx 980 ti lightning so the yellow is a little bit important but if the best one is one of the red variants I am not bothered at all. Things I will be doing with the setup is streaming, gaming and all types of editing. Don't know what else to say except thank you in advance! -
Hello Last week my new 390x arrived and although I knew that my current setup wasnt ideal for the card i was running into some serious issues. As of know my specs are as follows: CPU: FX 8120 GPU: Sapphire R9 390X OC *formerly 2x HD7870 XT Boost MOBO: GIGABYTE ga-970a-ud3 RAM: 16 GB @ 1677 PSU: EVGA 1300W *got it alongside my new GPU because I want to go 3-Ways-Crossfire a few monts later down the line. Now you can see that my processor was bottlenecking hard especially with single and dual threaded tasks as many games are. In a last ditch effort to get something more out of it i tried a maybe somewhat agressive overclock going up to 4.4 GHZ from 3.1. I was running into heating issues with this setup earlier so I purchased a Cooler Master Seidon a while ago and the CPU was taking the overclock very well for about a week and as I was pondering on how to go about a long term upgrade i had a crash after which my PC refused to boot. On closer inspection i found the area around the chipset to be somewhat brownish and burned and after taking out the battery i managed for it to boot but my POST prompt and bios menu look like uninteligable static now. With a broken Motherboard and a CPU Upgrade pending i decided to get over with it by the start of the next month/salary. After looking through the local retailers i came up with a list of upgrade Components: CPU: i7-5820K MOBO: ASUS X99-S RAM: 16 GB G.Skill 3000mhz DDR4 But looking on the Internet alot of people seem to be biased towards a 1150 Socket CPU soultion. From a price standpoint i should clarify that a 1150 counterpart would be more either more expensive or negligibly cheeper when it comes down to CPUS and European Retailers. And as stated above I`m planning for a 3-Ways-Crossfire Setup so X99 seems to be the way to go. What I would want to ask is: Is there a profund reason why 1150 could be better for my situation and what are the implications of a cheaper Mobo like the ASUS X99-S over a more expensive model like a ASUS Rampage. If it comes down to things like wifi or additional ports i could not care less but i dont want to end up with a burned mobo again, is X99-S a reliable model for maybe (very) small overclocks or are there any other recomendations. When it comes down to storage I`m using a 1TB Samsung EVO SSD the rest of my storage needs are handled by a gigabit NAS but I might upgrade to another TB worth of SSD on my PC What i would like to use this PC for: I got a 40 inch 4K TV that i would like to use for this PC once i got the other two GPUs I want to play modern games with this setup and it should last at least 2 years from now once i bought every part since i have disposable income now but still two years to go with my training. Apart from games i would want to run some minor Virtualisation and IDEs on this Computer as well as some video editing with the source metarial coming from a HD-Camera (no recording on this PC). At this point I would like to appoligize for my english as it is not my primary language.

My current version is 1004 Latest version which i want to install is 1702. My question is : Do i have to install 1103 then 1203 etc versions which are between current and latest updates. or do i just download 1702 and Install that. please check the image below thanks. Thanks in Advance.

My friend suggested that today and that is actually quite a good idea. It would make cpu upgrades and stuff much easier if you didn't have a matching socket with the new cpu. -
Hello. I'm planning on building a workstation with two Xeon E5-2690 v3 CPU's. However, I cant see any hd_audio headers on the motherboard in pictures or spec sheets. But one of the features in the audio section of the spec sheet is "Front panel Jack-Retasking". Can anyone who owns this board confirm my suspicions? If there isn't a header, what can I do to enable my front audio jacks? Is there a PCI-E card with an audio header on it? What else can I do if there isnt?

Hey guys, since there is a massive sale at a local store in Germany, I'm planning a normally pretty expensive build right now, I would've been paying around 5500 euro for it, but in the next two weeks it's gonna cost around 3000 euro. It involves a 5930k, a X99-Deluxe, a PCIe SSD and 3 GTX 970s. Also I'm gonna be using a custom loop to cool this beast. Now my question is : the 5930k has 40x PCIe 3.0 lanes. I have 3 graphics cards, 1 PCIe 2.0 8x SSD and a Xonar Phoebus Solo soundcard. Is it going to work? At what bandwidth will the cards be running, and at what bandwidth the soundcard? Thanks in advance! Pancakeman

Hello everybody, after over 5 years it's time for a new desktop pc. I already heave chosen the necessary components, wich i think they fit best for me. But i'm interested in your opinion and maybe you have some suggestions for me. Overview: My first choice for gaming was always console. Started with Nintendo NES and endet with PS3. But sinze i'm came across with Steam i want to switch from console to pc gaming. But i'm not a hardcore gamer which needs 120FPS at 4k and so on. My old Radion HD 3800 makes an ... jea... acceptable job . Im also interested in virtualisation. So minimum quad core CPU with HT and a butload of RAM is required. I'm not sure how the final setup will be. I will try vmware vSphere, wich theoretically can be run on a non-server enviroment or Qubes-OS/XEN with gpu thoughput to a steam-os vm.... Maybe just a setup with type 2 hypervisor... not rly sure yet. Besides that, i want to try out M.2 SSD for host OS. My planed setup: 1) The case I have not much room and i want to put it in a cabinet (open front, w 550mm, h 570mm, d 370mm). My choice is the "Thermaltake Core V21" with window. The power switch and audio/usb ports are on the side, so i can put it sideways in and still have easy access tho them. 2) CPU I'm not interested in overclocking so a Intel Xeon CPU is a cheap solution. I think the Intel Xeon E5-1620 v3, 4x 3.50GHz fits. 3) Graphics card I choose a mid-class graphics gard from last year - MSI R9 270 Gaming 2G It has a similar performance to the 270x, but it's cheaper and uses less energy (only one 6pin connector) If it'S nessecery, the R9 series is also compatibel/tested with XEN GPU passthrough. 4) Motherboard Now there are a couple of MB's with M.2, but most of them have ohnly 2 PCIe lanes, wich gives not a great performance boost compared to SATA III. I only found one µATX Board wich has a x4 M.2 connector - the ASRock X99M Extreme4. I know there is some rumor that Asrock uses some non-standard solutions wich can end in incompatibility with ohter hardware or using non windows os. I heard the same things about Asus too but my last PCs had all ASUS MB's and i never had any problems with these. 5) Memory / RAM Beside Vendor, size and compatibility, nothing realy matters. My choice is simply Crucial DIMM Kit 32GB (4x8GB), DDR4-2133. 6) CPU Cooler Corsair Hydro Series H90. Ready to go watercooling system with 140mm radiator. 7) Fan for Corsair Hydro radiator I have only two reqirements: silent + pressure. My choice is a Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm in pull configuration. 8) Primary Drive M.2 x4 has a max bandwith of 32Gb/s, but there is no M.2 SSD out there that can use it. Most of them are only made for 5 to 10 GB/s. The fastest customer M.2 SSD is the Samsung XP941 with 16GB/s. My choice is the XP941 128GB. 9) Aditional Drives SSD and HDD from my old System. The SSD is good as new. 10) Backup / Archiv Datastore A NAS would be great, but in terms of costs, two interal HDD's in a RAID 1 configuration is enaugh. I don't need a high performance RAID. THe onboard solution should be enaugh. My choice: 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB, SATA 6Gb/s 11) Power supply 450 watt should be enaugh, even if the whole system runs at 100% (will never happen). The case is build for a may 200mm PSU. My choice: Sea Sonic SSP-450RT 450W ATX 2.3 - Haswell support - 2x 6+2 PCIe - 4x SATA (MB has a spetial SATA power connector, so total of 5 Drives possible) 12) Case fans Two aditional Arctic F14 - 140mm on top (blow out) and maybe one in the bottom should be enaugh to crate a nice airflow. The case has a 200mm fan included in the front. If it's silent enaugh, it can still sit there. If not, may i replace it with two 140mm arctic.
