X58 rivals?

[Rallenhayestime]

I am currently running a 4.5Ghz O/c mostly stable on my xeon X5660 and was wondering if anybody got higher (even if you have x5650, x5690, i7 980, etc)? I also was wondering if anybody had a better price to performance rig than mine? Specs and costs for everything listed below.

ASUS X58 Sabertooth: $107

X5660: $30

22GB Ram: $78.64
600W evga 80+ PSU: $28.97

Corsair h100i GTX: $65

EVGA gtx 970 SC: $108

Funny as it is, all of these prices are exact to the penny... haha.

I will not be including case price for certain reasons... You don't have to in yours either.

TOTAL: $417.61

we'll base it on cinebench single core, multicore per USD, and openGL benchmarks

Results are 2.5095cb per 1 USD (1048cb total) and 138cb single core, and 104.29 fps in openGL.

Depends on your definition of P2P, maybe a benchmark score divided by $$??

Sure, we'll base it on cinebench single core, multicore, and openGL benchmarks, I'll run them right now.

I bought it "broken" (literally needed CMOS reset and was good to go)

[Rallenhayestime]

Alright, my results are in, I get 2.5095cb per 1 USD (1048cb total) and 138cb single core, and 104.29 fps in openGL.

I hate you so much right now. And yet I love you all the same. Could I convince you to sell for $108?

You drive a hard bargain. I'll raise my price to $109, but you'll have to help me out with shipping

Boguht it back when it was about $30 average per 8GB and even at that time I got a great deal on most of it... some is from an old build my friend did.

[Rallenhayestime]

you could give me a gtx 1080 and I'll pay you $350 plus the board haha

By the way thermals matter; so why not type and amount

I usually run below 70c so why should it matter?

[bimmerman]

X58 is great!

 

My X58 rig, disregarding the recent Xeon addition, is hilariously bad at price per performance since I'd have to use the price I paid for all the components new in 2010. You got a hell of a deal on your system there.

Not bad, used 1080s are under $400.... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I also got a good deal on a x58 bundle. I paid 213 usd including shipping for this: i7 980X cpu, Asus p6x58d premium motherboard, noctua nh-d14 cpu cooler and 12 gb of corsair vengaence memory triple channel.

 

Sold old parts for 132 usd bundle contained: i7 920, asus rampage 2 extreme motherboard, thermalright ultra 120 extreme cpu cooler and 12 gb corsair xms3 triple channel memory.

 

But here is the fun fact. Try and see what and i7 980x cost alone on ebay or something like that. If i sell i7 980x and got one of those cheap ass xeon i cut end up getting a xeon an still have a good amount of money left. That would litterly have been a steal then or what?

 

But i chose to keep i7 980x cause well i feel it is just a bit more nice to have that i7 than a xeon. Dont get me wrong those xeon are awesome cause of there low price and they tend to overclock great.

Asus P6X58D-E - 90€

Xeon X5670 - 75€

16gb RAM - 185€...

620W Seasonic - 89,90€

Tt Contac 21 - 25,95€

Asus GTX 960 - 120€

SSD - 95€

HDD - 90€

HDD2 - 60€

 

TOTAL: 830,85€ + case 114,90€ = 945,75€

 

Parts have been purchased between 2013 and 2017, so prices aren't quite accurate.

I was given a free Sabertooth X58, used in the box by a friend. My X5680 was $109.78. I love my machine.

@Intelfreak I "upgraded" from an i7 2600 mainly because i wanted the bragging rights of having an OC'd Xeon. It's kinda cool having an underdog and OC'ing a CPU the majority of PC enthusiasts believe you cannot OC. Having a Xeon just sounds more impressive than a 1st gen i7.

[yathis]

i7-920 and 16GB and two 500GB and CXpsu for $200cdn which is $150usd, case, W7 but I hardly ever use it.

Was thinking X5675 but I only use my dell i5-4570 every day.

Too lazy to fuck around with NAS

haha, I saw a broken i7 980 on ebay for $30 and I wanted to see if I could get it to work because the symptoms were looking like motherboard issues, offered $20 and he accepted... it worked! I then sold it for $160 for profits, bought an x5660 for $30 and got similar overclocks to the 980
