    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    True, after running my 930 at 4ghz nonstop for the past few years I dont think it could hurt to be a little more energy efficient :p Been tinkering with Turbo, currently stable at 212 muti .175 vcore offset 1.337 QPI Only downfall now is that at 3.8ghz its set at 1.29vcore as opposed to...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    Whoops meant turbo! Once I stabilize the CPU at 3.8 & 3.6 ill test it with turbo on. Never used power savings on any of my processors, maybe its time to start :-p Just passed 5 hours on prime torture test at 3.8 212x18 1.25vcore 1.337 qpi. Going to lower the vcore even more now.

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    Chip seems to be good to me. This chip is honestly WAY more QPI dependent as opposed to vcore. I just bumped my vcore down to 1.25 with QPI 1.337 and been stable for almost a hour at 3.8. After I find my sweet spot at 3.8 im going to test 3.7/3.6 and see how low i can get it to be stable at...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    Currently at 3.8 Stable for 2 hours of prime and multiple BURN tests. Current settings 212x18 1.27vcore 1.337QPI 1.8PLL (how are these settings?) I can have it stable at 3.6 with 1.23 vcore (or lower) and 1.25QPI. Is the 200 mhz worth the significant increase in vcore and QPI to stay stable...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    Decided to join the fun and milk what I have left of this 1366 setup. Scored a brand new chip for $85 which is amazing. I can confirm that the standard Asus P6X58D-E detected the CPU as well (bios 0803). Its replacing my i7 930 which ran at 4ghz w/ 1.25qpi & 1.28 vcore. Current setup: Asus...
