The intel XEON owners thread.

Share your XEON machines!

Overclocks, everything! let us show the world what a cheaper alternative can do! (unless you own something stupid like in my signature) Then we bow to you oh mighty god.

 

My own entry to the thread.

 

Westmere E5640.

 

I need a better cooler to get it to 4.6ghz, i had it at a max of 4.7ghz @ 1.42v, but for longer runs my cooler is not enough, will be buying a mounting kit for my spare Corsair H100 to crank it right up!

Here are the pics

The 2 servers(dell 2950 and hp dl180 g6).  The dell has one drive as its running as a vm host. The hp has 2x 146gb 15k sas in raid 0 for boot(yes its backed up), 4x 4tb wd reds and 4x 2tb wd reds.

Here is the full specs of the hp server in ovirt.

 

Here is the back of the 2 servers and the mess of cables.

 

The last 'server' with the e3 1231 v3. Its mainly used for testing. It has a 7300gt for testing gpu passthrough(works fine). I also test different raid soltions in it. It currently has 28gb or ram and a pile or drives including a 3tb a 2tb external, a 800gb, 3x 160gbs, and a 250.

Lol, I have a Xeon E3-1231 v3 in my Alienware X51. Upgraded from an i3, going to an i5 wouldn't have been worth it and i7s (especially at the time) were too expensive. $250 for quad-core with hyperthreading Xeon was definitely an awesome choice!

The only reason I could find for not buying a Xeon is the lack of overclockability... Other than that the Xeons offer outstanding value for money...

(Okay, not the 22core model, but you get the point...)

Not the old ones. LGA 1156 x3400 cpus are literally better binned i7's. Oh and did i mention cheap as hell. $60 for mine on eBay.
