Does cinebench benefit from dual cpu?

Hello World! I need some quick suggestions on buying a new power supply. I am using a Corsair AX850 (The 80+ Gold Version) on my server with 11 3.5" drives (+ 3 2.5" SSDs) but for whatever reason, it looks like after idling and some of the drive spin down, they aren't spinning back up when I need them. I have some of these drives in a Windows Server Storage Pool and so when two lose connection, the virtual disks unmount and I can get them back until I restart. I switched the drives that seem to always get disconnected off the SATA power cable from the PSU and used a molex to SATA adapter and I haven't had these drives lose connection (yet). I am not sure if it is the power supply but I'd like to get something new anyway since I had to pull this PSU out of my main workstation to put into this computer so I can smack this AX850 back into my main computer (it has individually sleeved cables and its a waste on this server.) Anywho, the computer I want to get a new PSU for has the following components: Motherboard: Asrock EP2C602-4L/D16 Dual Socket LGA 2011 Mother Board CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2660 RAM: 4 x 4 GB DDR3 (Temporary. I plan to upgrade to 128GB later in the year. ) Drives: 4 x HGST 2 TB Drives 4 x WD RE 2 TB Drives 1 x WD RE 1 TB Drive 1 x Seagate Barracuda 3 TB 1 x WD 1.5 TB Caviar Black I may stick some GPUs (nothing terribly expensive) into this server at one point for video encoding or other stuff, so I would like some room to grow. So connector requirements is 2 x 8 pin CPU Connectors and 2 x 6 pin PCI-e Connectors. Smart people, through me thy suggestions! I am looking to spend less then $100 (still in college and the semester is about to begin T~T), but feel free to suggest anything over. I might consider it if with good reasoning.

I recently bought a dual socket mother board with a TDP of 135W and single xeon processor e5 2689 with a tdp of 115W. I plan on adding one more CPU and a mid range graphic card to the motherboard in future. Can the community help me in figuring out the Watts needed for this setup, considering that i might add extra components in future. Links motherboard xeon e5 2689 -
Hello Everyone, Context I have recently been thinking of moving my current mATX components into a different style mATX case (just for fun). However I am in the middle of organizing a really nice mod for the current case that I really want to do, but if I move to a different case then it would go to waist (I want the best of both worlds) - so the current case needs something awesome to match it IMO. So I was thinking I could build a dual socket workstation style PC inside (something around 12 - 16 true cores in total), partially out of interest and for fun but also to significantly reduce rendering times (potentially, I'll look into this a little more with the programs I use). Question So basically my question is, are mATX dual socket motherboards an okay/good idea. I know they exist, and I know they work, but has anyone got any specific knowledge or experience with them? And following that any tips? FYI: This is going to be a second Used/eBay air cooled build to keep the costs down (relativity) so I would be looking at older socket/CPU generations. I will be grateful for any support and assistance, Thanks in advance, Alex

Hey all, I'm usually a lurker around these parts, but I'm at a loss with my latest build and figured I'd ask the community for help. My minimal build: -CPUS: two Xeon E5-2670s (used) -Motherboard: Asrock EP2C602-4L/D16 (new) -Cooling: two Cooler Master 212 Hyper Evo (new) -PSU: EVGA 750W (new) -RAM: 8GB stick from Kingston DDR3 1866 (new) I've been trying for the past two days to get my system to POST, to no avail (and I know my motherboard can emit beeps, because I installed the ram in the wrong slot earlier). Dr. Debug gives me an error message of b4 (problem related to USB devices, http://www.asrock.com/support/faq.asp?id=334). The frustrating thing is, I have no PCIE cards installed or USB devices hooked in... Other things I've tried: -CMOS reset (battery out for 5 minutes) -contacting Asrock support (still waiting to hear back) -loosening the mounting screws for the Cooler Master (others said that loosening slightly can help) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Foreword: I realize this is incredibly impractical and insane, but I want to see how many holes y'all can poke in this idea to see just how impossible it is. PCPartPicker: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/2dG7LD Note that PCPartPicker has some misinformation about the processor, thinking it's incompatible with the mobo, googling revealed otherwise The specs given to each VM are as follows: 8 GBs of RAM 4 Cores 2 TBs of storage One nVidia GTX Titan X The idea was to build "16 gamers one rack", but to do so I found some obstacles (here are the ones I've at least partially tackled): 1q: How do you fit 16 GPUs in a chassis? 1a: Short answer is to seperate them see this to understand what exactly I mean 2q: How do you connect 16 GPUs? There's only so many slots! 2a: Backplanes! (Although it does mean chopping bandwidth, which I'm still trying to figure out) 3q: How do you get so many processors/threads for vms? 3a: Go dual sockets with xeon processors, lots of processors/threads! 4q: How do you get each user USB connections? 4a: Use a hub or dock Some issues I haven't dealt with: Graphics card bandwidth USB/IO Bandwidth Hypervisors may not be able to see the GPUs and thus may not be able to assign them to VMs Storage interfaces (enough IO and ports?) Edit was to make the title more accurate

Hey guys quick question, what would be the best intel xeon for gaming? -
Hi, there LTT community, I have been considering building a pc for my dad and really like the dual Xeon idea from Linus' video. Just wanted to know of any problems with the following as a build. TIA Build: CPU: Dual Xeon E5440 4C @2.83Ghz MOBO: Dell RW199 Precision T7400 Workstation Motherboard RAM: Samsung / Kingston 16GB (4X4GB) PC2-5300F DDR2-667MHZ ECC FB-DIMM GPU: Geforce GTX 970 (second hand) PSU: Not sure yet as not sure on power and connection requirements - Any suggestions welcome. SSD: Samsung 250GB 840 EVO - As I already have one of these that he can have and I know that the board only supports SATA 3.0Gb/s and the SSD supports 6.0Gb/s HDD: Toshiba P300 500GB 7200RPM HDD

So this is a little pet project I've been working on for a while. I'm buying some old server hardware to build a pc with, including a Dual Socket Motherboard, the Gigabyte GA-7PESH2. Now I got this board for a really good deal: it had been advertised as no post/no video/one of the 10gb nic's doesn't work and it was less than a third of the other listing of the same board, so I decided to take a chance on it. What I found is that the board will indeed boot, and the onboard video does work (haven't been able to test the nic). However there was a catch. If the board has not had any power connected to it, then plug the 24 pin mb and 8pin cpu connectors in, for the first 3-5 minutes, if you try to power it on, nothing happens. After that time, a green led powers up on the motherboard's surface, and you can then turn the board on. At that point, if I turn the computer off, I can immediately turn it back on, so long as it is not unplugged from the wall. If I do unplug it and plug it back in, I have to wait the 3-5 minutes again. Now I've never messed with any server hardware, but I have heard that they do usually have more error checking built in. So is this a normal part of the post process? Is this a sign it is dying/something is critically wrong?

I just bought a Dell Poweredge R410 Dual Socket motherboard off eBay. With it, two X5670 Xeons as well as 4x4 DDR3 ECC RAM. My power supply is an Antec that supplies 450W. I looked around the board and was unable to find anything to plug my power switch cable into. There is a front panel connector with tons of pins, but not labeled. My understanding is that with the server, the front panel was included and that was used to turn on the motherboard. Do I need this front panel, or could I just cheat and try all the different positions for the power switch? Is there any solution or will this just not work at all. Thank you in advance!

AS the title says, i was thinking on using 2 Xeon E5-4650 on a supermicro X9DRI-LN4F+ motherboardThe question is, do Quad Socket CPUs work on a Dual Socket mainboard?I dont seem to find any real information on that matter wether it works or not. -
Hello, I have two X5660s and a Tyan s7012. I had some issues getting it to post but was able to get it to post with a single X5660 installed. When I install the second, the system fails to post. I have updated the bios to the most recent revision. A green light blinks near the second cpu. I've tried multiple ram configurations

So I just bought two old Xeons for 10 bucks and I need a dual socket motherboard for them (might buy a Supermicro X7DBN off eBay), but I can't find any cases under 50$ that can fit it. I would like if someone could help me in my "quest" for basically a giant case.

Hi, I need help: I spent dozens of hours searching for a dual socket lga771 motherboard that has a pcie x16 slot and does not require a proprietary PSU, or that i can find the power supply for cheap. I'm in Canada, and have a small budget: 70CAD for the motherboard and 20-30 bucks for a PSU (that's why I'm going used). I already have two Xeon E5420's, got them for 10 bucks. If it isn't worth it, tell me a better alternative (I would use the PC for emulation and gaming in general, I already have a graphics card)

Did anyone figure out a way to use a xenon same period MB with a consumer grade Procesor like a core2 duo 1.8ghz, I know it's been a long period of time from their release and I hope someone figured out how to do it

Over the next couple of days I'm going to be building my next server and I thought anybody who has a similar interest might like to come along for the ride. (The pictures are 4208x3120 so you can view them in a new tab for a larger image) There is so much equipment I found it difficult to get it all in one shot. Here is a run down of the core components: CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5 2698 V3 Motherboard: Supermicro X10DRi-T RAM: 2x NEMIX 64GB 2400MHz ECC RDIMM PSU: Athena Power AP-RRP4ATX6808 HBA: 3x LSI 9201-16i (live product page N/A) 5.25" drives: Athena Power BP-SAC1425AVL12 Chassis: iStarUSA D-410 CPU Cooler: 2x Noctua NH-D9L The remaining small pieces I will go over as I build but this is an immediate run down of the bulk of the system. Everything except the processors were purchased new. I have actually not verified that that CPUs work properly. I'm going off the sellers word so we will get to find out together if it's going to POST at all. For right now I'm going to start by installing the 5.25" drive caddies.

I got a couple old motherboards/GPUs/fans/etc off my local second hand market and I found this dual socket motherboard. It came along with a whole freaking compaq server rack. But it got what got me interested in the board were the HUGE copper blocks on top of the chips passively cooling them. So I was hoping someone could help me find out what the hell I have and what it can realistically do. I included pictures but if you need better pictures or passibly from different angles id gladly help out. Just excited to know what this board is.

So I recently decided that I wanted to take my PC that one step further by replacing my single socket LGA1366 motherboard with a dual socket motherboard. I have a Lenovo 800W PSU which should be more than fine to power it. I currently only have one CPU (a Xeon X5690) so I put that in, plugged in all the necessary PSU connectors and components, switched it on aaaaand..... Nothing. The fans whir up to speed, the power light comes on and that's it. No video, no POST. I have already installed the BIOS update for Nehalem and Westmere CPUs because I had a spare Xeon E5645 and got it to run with that, but with the X5690 it does nothing and I am very confused, to the point where I feel like I've just wasted my time and money. I hope that someone knows what may be wrong, else that's £150 down the drain...

So looks like AMD has now taken the record for both Single and Dual Socket, at least for the time being. Der8auer was able to reach a maximum clock of 4.04GHz on 2x Epyc 7601 32 Core Processors for a score of 10535. Oh note, it's a novec cooled sever rack and it's going to be shown at Gamescom! Personally I think this is some next level shit, he mentions it almost beating a quad socket score at some point as well. I can't wait to see what he does with Epyc 2

Hey again LTT community, I have been looking at lots of different parts combinations for a new build, and I am planning on re-using quite a few parts from various other past builds and just random stuff laying around. I am looking at making a dual LGA2011-v1 socket build for various 3d design, virtualization, and occasional gaming tasks. Also, I have a bunch of parts that I think may be of use in this build. How about I list a few: *assorted 2gb and 4gb sticks of pc3-10600R Ecc registered RAM pulled from Dell and hp servers *3x 240gb 2.5in ssds, assorted 500gb and 1tb 3.5in drives *650w g2 EVGA PSU with dual 8pin eps12v cpu connectors, etc *R9 390 Windforce, R7 260x, r7 240, gtx 960, gtx 645 (virtualization maybe???) *Lots and lots of 120mm fans, mostly Corsair and a few 130cfm Delta jet engines as well Parts I'm thinking of buying *2x Xeon E5-2680-v1 CPUs (found a deal for them for $160 total) *Asus z9pe-d8 *2x hyper t4 *Fractal define c tg (fits the mobo and coolers???) What I need help with: *Finding a compatible motherboard preferrably EATX or ATX (not e-eatx, ssi, etc) *Finding a compatible case with my motherboard preferrably full atx or smaller, clear side panel, lots of room for cable management, mainly looking at nzxt, fractal, and be quiet *Finding 2 matching cpu coolers compatible with all the other parts *Keeping the $$$ spent under 600 for the cpus, 4x4gb ddr3 ecc to add to my existing 4x4gb ddr3 exc, cpu coolers, mobo, case, any other needed parts Peace

Hello Geeks, i need some Help over here First of all, my Servers/Workstations are inside a selfmade Closet on my Balcony and really hard to reach and/or disassemble, thats why im asking here before trying to reseat the CPU. Problem: my dual socket Xeon E5 2696v3 (2x18C 36T) runs on a Z10PE-D16 WS inside a Grandia https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?area=de&pid=330 CPU#1 runs under Load at 60°C Peaks while CPU#2 peaks at up to 78 or sometimes 80+°C (Coretemp). I heard that it can be pretty commom that CPU`s run at different Temps but only +-5°C and not 20+. My sencond Workstation for Example is almost the same setup, only difference is it has two 2670v3 (2x12C 24T) and sits on a Z10PE-D16 (non-WS). Those two CPU`s run under Load at the same Temps +-5°C. They are all cooled by Cooler Master Seidon 120V v2. I used the same brand and amount of Thermal Paste on all 4 CPU`s. Even though it is really hard to reach, i can touch the Cooler and the pump is running. I cant tell you if it was so since i installed it (almost a year ago), because i just noticed that a few days ago after installing Coretemp. To break this down to one Question: is it worth to disassemble it, reseat the CPU with new Paste and retighten the Screws to get the temps down on CPU#2? Thanks for any Help and Advice in Advance, excuse my English, im from switzerland.

The problem is very simple to describe; Completely randomly, in DOOM 2016 my framerate completely tanks for no reason. In Shadow of Mordor, my framerate is never perfect but seems to have the same root spontaneous performance tanking. In particular with Doom, the rest of the system slows right down as well, stuff like window animations are really slow. This makes me suspect it's something to do with the GPU, but I had this graphics card in an FX-6350 system before this and never experienced this issue. The only things which stick out to me as perhaps problematic would be: the PCIE x8 slot the card is now in; the two CPUs perhaps communicating with each other. But then again, the card shouldn't be bottlenecked by a PCIE 2.0 x8 slot and the CPUs shouldn't really cause any issue because I've seen youtube videos of other peole with similar systems playing Shadow of War just fine, and other games such as GTAV which are equally intensive have no issues. I'm completely lost here. I also haven't been able to find any forum posts about anything like this. Here are my system specs: OS: Windows7 Ultimate CPU: Dual Xeon X5660 @2.9GHz Mobo: Tyan S7012 GPU: R9 280 RAM: 16GB Single channel (2x8GB, one stick to each CPU) SSD: 240GB V300 (Boot drive, the game isn't stored here) HDD: 2TB WD Blue 5200rpm, SATA 2 connected (The game is stored here) Sound: USB 2.0 external sound card PSU: EVGA 850 G2 ***THINGS I HAVE RULED OUT*** -Nothing to do with Hyperthreading; Persists when on or off -GPU + CPU temps are good (No thermal throttling) -GPU VRAM usage is fine -RAM usage is fine -CPU usage is fine - Even single thread usage is fine; no one thread is very highly used. It's not a CPU bottleneck. One final thing is that it does remind me of a VRAM bottleneck, it feels like one the way it goes from 60+ fps and perfectly fluid and playable to suddenly choking down to an unplayable ~10-15 fps (in DOOM). The difference however is that it doesn't happen necessarily when the scene gets more intensive. In DOOM i've noticed it happens more often in the outdoor scenes, but in Shadow of Mordor it's comletely and truly spontaneous. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -
So not long ago I went and got a new setup that is Dual Socket E5 2680 V2 which go about 3.4ghz on 6 of the 10 cores, which I assign 6 to games only. (the issue here is the 4 that are assigned to the game are not all maxed turbo, seems like the turbo mode still just floats around all 10 on that one CPU)My motherboard brand Tyan S7050 a simple or say cheaper model motherboard for servers. I have 64gig of ram ECC 1600Mhz in it and a 1080gtx.Now over the last few weeks, I have been trying to get this Issue fixed. As to why it would do this one thing. STUTTER and lower fps, in high intense video games or should I say more demanding (Battlefield 1, PUBG, Fortnite) my fps is not as good as it used to be like my old setup and I would get stuttering and low fps jumps. I am talking from 120 to 70 (but feels like 25-30) then back up again in a matter of seconds and it does it a lot. WhatI have seen online to what my setup feels like it does not feel the same. I have seen Xeon 2670's running games better than mine.So this is what I have in my setup right now.Tyan S7050 motherboard LGA 2011 Dual Socket BoardE5 2680 V2 x2 – Turbo is 3.6ghz one core and around 3.4ghz on 4 cores normal is 2.8ghz or 3.1ghz on all 10.1080GTX Graphics Card64Gig of Ram ECC Memory at 1600MhzUSB 3.0 PCI CardSound Card in PCI slot also.SSD 500gig 850Firecuda 2tb HDDPSU 850watt PlatniumRunning on Win 10 ProSo what have I done to troubleshoot?1. Clean install of windows 10 no drivers – Everything on the board. 2. Removed USB 3.0 card 3. Removed Sound Card 4. Graphics card and CPUs are only in it 5. Changed slot for GPU 6. Turned Turbo Mode off 7. Turned USB 2.0 off on the board 8. Tried with fresh Win 7 Install 9. Only allocated 4 CPUs to the system which all for on turbo goes to 3.4ghz and still stutters in games.10. RAM Test11. CPU Test12. Speed Stepping Off13. Taken out one CPU and only used the one. 14. swapped the CPUs on that one socket. 15. Replaced the Bios ChipI am looking for someone who has a Dual Socket Gaming/Rendering rig that could give me some insight into what could be causing this issue. I am using this PC for my Rendering/Game Dev and to play some games. Instead of having to upgrade my current gaming rig. Thanks allMeathead
