The only CPUs worth spending days benching are the 920 and 980X as these are the most popular so worth the most points on HWBOT.

I7 920 shut be easy catch (and remember to get DO revision of 920 cause they oc better, get les hot and need less voltage for same OC as CO revision needs), while I7 980X is more rare cause of new price back then.

Yeah Im looking at getting a couple 920 this week. 980X is like the QX9650 I got, kinda hurts forking out that much money for a single older CPU that might not OC that far.

Got mine in a bundle complete with CPU, mobo, ram and a that CPU cooler i have now to very good price of 228 USD or 1450 Dkr. including shipping.

Posted October 8, 2017 @Ground I'm starting. This isn't just benching a daily driver and takes a lot of time especially if a new mobo. Goes like Install Windows XP from CD Configure OS for max performance Download/install drivers/utilities/benchmarks Insulate mobo Switch cooling to phase change Overclock CPU Bin DDR3 Overclock memory Benchmark(cpu oc changes depending on bench) Submit scores to HWBOT Post here Mostly bench late at night and early morning, if using dry ice and acetone it's a must to wait for when my family goes to bed. Usually go and rebench the next day or days later on dice. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 9, 2017 Initial testing shows weak NB and CPU too hot for phase change on long multithreaded benches if I want a respectable score. Haven't binned the memory yet still trying to crack this BIOS . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 9, 2017 Hi, Really glad that this thread has been started as it's very difficult to find up to date information on this platform now. It looks like my 980ti may be failing or the pcie slot in which it is mounted. If it is the latter and I require a new motherboard what are peoples opinions on current gen cpu's (8700K) in comparison to x58 using Xeon chips. Very hard to find performance comparisons. It would be a a large investment for a new system but if it is time then so be it as I've put savings aside for this eventuality having said that I've no real desire to drop £1000's without any gain when a 'new' x58 motherboard would only set me back £200 max. I have asked a similar question before on another area of the forum a little while ago but just got generic answers such as "you're getting bottlenecked" and should buy 1800X etc.. despite comfortably running ultrawide 1440P and supersampled VR. So I would be interested to see if anyone has any real life experience comparing the x58 platform to Kaby lake / Coffee lake or has used a higher performing GPU than a 980ti in x58.

I don't have experience comparing the two but if you are happy with the performance then you might as well just a x58 motherboard.

Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah, pretty happy with the performance. That's not to say there isn't room for more!. The draw for a new system would be for technologies not available on this platform such as M.2. But slightly faster storage isn't reason enough for the price. My next GPU upgrade would be a 1080ti I would suspect for more supersampling in Elite Dangerous on the Vive. Any severe bottlenecking on PCI 2.0, I can't say I've noticed anything on the 980ti but benchmarks seem to show a 20 - 30 % performance boost between the 980ti and 1080ti Current Gaming Rig: Intel Xeon X5675 (Socket 1366) Gigabyte Sniper G1 X64 Motherboard 12GB Corsair XMS3 (6 x 2GB) Corsair H110i AIO Cooler OCUK GTX 980ti Intel 730 SSD 2TB Western Digital Blue Corsair ax860i Power Supply Asus Strix RAID Pro Sound card Corsair 800D Case Acer Predator X34 Ultrawide 3440 x 1440 Monitor HTC Vive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 10, 2017 So, my L5640 has arrived and I've built it into my board.

I'm getting a server board from Elliot too, for messing around and stuff. If I can figure out how, I may swap one of the quad cores in for my 5675 and see how high I can OC.
