Hope you guys like it

What GPU are you rocking in there?

Jesus, Nehalem Xeons.  Not to shit all over you (which is like a #nohomo header to indicate I'm about to shit all over you), but those aren't even worth the electricity to run.  A Kaby Lake 4 core would probably outperform them and you wouldn't have a mobo with shit compatibility and featureset to deal with.

pretty dope, now is it possible to do a water cooling system in there, cause in all honestly those coolers look like sugar-honey-iced-tea

Meanwhile half the budget performance world is running dual 5650's, which have been shown in benchmarks to outperform either the 5820K or 6800K, maybe both, in games.

Games are single threaded largely so where are you finding a 6 generation old 2.8 Ghz core that's outperforming something at higher frequency and 100% IPC improvement?

My mistake, I misremembered the video. He found that a single X5650 was within 5-10% of a 5820K in games when paired with the same GPU. I don't see how a pair of LGA1366 Xeons would fall much behind that.

 

I wouldn't do any 1366 build right now because those 1366 motherboards are stupid expensive, but it's a very viable hardware combination right now if you get the right hardware at the right price. Certainly cheaper than what a 6800K setup would run, and by a lot more than the 10% performance delta.

Well i got the mobo ram cpu combo for the price of a single i7 6700k. And i also got a pair of the x5690 six core for €100 so 24 3,4ghz threads. Wich will defenitly be close if not ahead of a 6700k.

Yes kaby lake will be faster .... but not much . also got a pair of x5690 3,4 ghz six core(so 24 3,4 ghz threads.... and i got the ram mobo cpu combo for the price of a 6700k..... soni really cant go wrong.... and i dont gave a single F about running costs?

I'm thinking about watercooling it. but I don't want to spend to much money on this system(since it is aging) .

What about submerging it in oil.

 

Tho, now that I think it out loud, that could be pretty expensive too.

Actually i can get miniral oil pretty cheap....mmmh would be awesome tho. Ill think about it.

Hey! I'm building a dual xeon too! Mine are x5690's though

It is going slow, I ended up needing to spend money on other things this month but it is good, the case I got is actually a server so it came with some neat server hardware I'm planning to do fun stuff with. Once I find a time to start building I'll post pictures and stuff
