Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

Blown away by the chip, did a small OC to 166bclk and had no problems; went for broke and hit 200bclk on stock voltage (vdroop on). Running it with an Intel RTS2011LC cooler. Had more problems pushing my RAM to 1600 than I did with the CPU (had to boost it to 1.6v for 1600 - can probably get...

Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

Got my chip in the mail yesterday. Gonna put it in tonight and see what it can do! Anyone running Turbo AND Speedstep with no issue? What are your OC specs?

Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

Well compared to what you guys are trying to hit with 210+, I'd consider it mild (and somewhat easily obtainable). I was thinking starting with something in the 3.2 range, as I'm only running at 166 on my 920. Figuring going Hex and still topping what I currently have would be worth the money to...

So worth the upgrade guys? What do FPS numbers look like? Any big changes? I've got a i7-920D0@3.33 (lazy man's OC). Worth snagging this chip and replacing? I plan on lots of BF4 in the future. Seems like even a mild OC will do wonders. :)

suggest video card that will work with thunderbolt display

As of right now, if you want to use an Apple 27" display with a PC, get the LED Cinema Display, and NOT the Thunderbolt display. There are currently no available video cards that work with the Thunderbolt Display. You should still be able to get the LED cinema Display from Apple and other...

I think my 7970 is DOA :/

Interesting. I'm currently up to date, so hopefully MSI is on the case if this is indeed an issue. Thanks. Here's hoping as well!

I think my 7970 is DOA :/

Hey all, I put my new Sapphire 7970 in my system (x58) and 27" Cinema Display and powered on... and got no picture. I've tried both mini-DP ports and the HDMI to my TV, to no avail (I don't have a DVI display at my disposal). I don't even get a boot screen while the machine is booting...

Newegg has 7970s in stock

Keeping an eye on Amazon. The Sapphires are officially in stock, and price is sliding down slowly ($600 as of this writing). Hoping for more/ different stock, or down to MSRP. Anyone have experience with VisionTek? Their card is trending about $10 less than the Sapphire at the moment. May...

Newegg has 7970s in stock

Agreed, really bummed about the price gouging at Amazon. Only major retailer I've seen doing it to that extent so far. Unfortunately stuck waiting on them due to lots of gift cards :mad:

Are you buying a HD 7970 on Monday the 9th?

I've got a placeholder ATI workstation card in my newly-assembled system. I'll be ordering day one for sure. MSI or Asus.

What will you use your high end 7xxx or 6xx series card for?

I have a 27" LED Cinema display and I need one of these cards to get as much BF3 performance/ image quality at that res. After that, WoW, Diablo 3, and the massive backlog of Steam games I've been buying when they're on sale (Metro, Crysis, Torchlight, etc). (first post!)
