Someone with E5-2698 v3 should provide their max frequency speeds but from the max turbos perspective both looks the same yet 2698 v3 has two more coresIn general does it make any sense to buy E5-2698 v3 if max turbo for all cores will be significantly lower than on E5-2697 v3?
QS chips are usually production stepping. Make sure never to get anything that is QExx.This result is amazing. I was considering buying these two chips: https://www.ebay.es/itm/Intel-Xeon-E5-2698-v3-QS-QGEN-QGN2-2-3GHz-16C-LGA2011-3-for-C612-X99-i7-6950X/163287253604?hash=item2604adc264:g:FzIAAOSwDYxbsOFO:rk:14:pf:0 and possibly OC them to 3.6GHz. Are these QS chips a good idea? I was looking for 18 core xeon, but non-ES chips are still quite expensive.
What you see in the screenshot is the absolute max overclock I was able to get. That was actually not stable and I had to back off to 105.3 MHz in bios, was getting some Nvidia driver crashes and some PCIE related errors in event viewer.What is the max turbo for all cores that someone managed to achieve using E5-2698 v3 or E5-2697 v3?
Yes, I left the latest Intel microcode update that Microsoft pushed out to address some of the Spectre exploits. Apparently Microsoft will be releasing mitigation for performance issues related to Spectre, so I don't really feel the need to play around with the older microcodes.Hi one additional question ...
what this mean ? where did you left the microcode update ? in Windows ?
Thanks !
Would be great to run e5 2697 v3 [QS] at x37
@ziollos - I have QS version of CPU and it does work flawlessly !
I think the turbo boost you will see are dependent on your board and possibly how good your procs are. Also different workloads will produce different all-core turbo.I had for e5 2697 v3[QS] :
But now I see the x37 can be even achieved ... need to check that
- 1-11 cores - turbo 3.6 ghz (x36)
- 12-13 cores - turbo 3.5 ghz (x35)
- 14 cores - turbo 3.4 ghz (x34)

E5-2698 v3 be seems to have a lower TDP than the E5-2697 v3. 135W vs 145W.What I wanna now before making a purchase is basically is there significant difference between E5-2698 v3 and E5-2697 v3 in terms of max turbo boost on all cores during 100% load. My workload will gain more from fewer cores at higher clock speed so if there is like 0.2GHz difference and more I will go for 14 core version.
Can you post your bios settings for 3.8 ghz turbo on all cores and also which efi do you use?E5-2696v3 is the top dog. 38x top multi and 18 cores. 145W TDP
Is this 18 cores at 38x ?E5-2696v3 is the top dog. 38x top multi and 18 cores. 145W TDP
Yes, all cores will turbo to 3936MHz (103.6 BCK is current highest stable for me) for 2x CPUs. As loading increases the multi drops.Is this 18 cores at 38x ?
Just used your undervolting profile (v3x4-0.10b-i306f2-rc9_90_50_50.efi, thanks !) and was able to achieve 13 at x36 and 14 at x35 (at 101 mhz bclk). My e5 2697 v3 [qs] also has 145 TDP ... that's why I'm asking if it's max turbo on all cores![]()
And you load the microcode?Yes, all cores will turbo to 3936MHz (103.6 BCK is current highest stable for me) for 2x CPUs. As loading increases the multi drops.
Thank.I load 0x1F at Windows init
Will try then different versions of your EFIs, will try also to search 1F microcodeYes, all cores will turbo to 3936MHz (103.6 BCK is current highest stable for me) for 2x CPUs. As loading increases the multi drops.
Help me plzHello to all. Help please with bios for asus rampage v extreme / u3.1 and .efi under e5-2630l v3 QS.
I tried to do it myself, but in the new UBU_v1_70_rc16_1 I didn’t find an item to remove the microcode, but I don’t get through the old UBU_v1_65_7 one (with the firmware it gives an error "selected file is not a proper bios")
bios v.3801
HiI load 0x1F at Windows init
http://www.kristech.net/haswell/0x1F.zipHicould you share 0x1F microcode or point where it can be obtained ?
Thank you!
I will follow your work with great interestThank you! When I have time I look into it.
Try using a lower voltage offset like -20 or use this https://github.com/freecableguy/v3x4/releases/tag/v3x4-0.10b-i306f2-rc9 the one without voltage offset. Also in your bios overclock settings, change loadline calibration to level 9 for both CPUs and also voltage capacity to 140%. Also for the ram, voltage capacity to 140% while manually set ram voltage to 1.2v. I have the same motherboard and 105.6 seems stable for me.Got the hack applied on my Z10PE-D8 WS with dual E5-2697 v3s.
Sadly, I couldn't get to 3.9 GHz, but it's close.
Running the 3407 bios with microcode removed and the v3x2_80-50-50_39_vcc1.8.efi driver MOF posted a while back.
I left the latest microcode update from Intel in place. It seems to boost to 3.8 in most situations.

@kjboughton - could I ask you which EFI configuration are you using ?
I run a custom EFI.@kjboughton - could I ask you which EFI configuration are you using ?
I have tested several and I cannot go any better than 13c - x36, 14c - x35.
Currently I'm using yours v3x4-0.10b-i306f2-rc9_90_50_50.efi (but tested a lot of them) and basically for all of them I'm getting the same results for 0x1F and 0x27 and very bad results for 0x39 (CPU stuck at x35 even for one core).
Thank you!
To flash bios on your motherboard did you use something like this: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07DRCVZB3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ?Got the hack applied on my Z10PE-D8 WS with dual E5-2697 v3s.
