I decided to go for the 2690v3. For what im planning to do, the 2697v3 is not that much better than the 2690v3. is it ok to PM you as i got all the parts @topmysteries5 ?2690v3 can run all 12c @ 3.4ghz (~2200CB)/ 10c @ 3.5ghz (~1750CB).
2697v3 can run all 14c @ 3.4ghz (~2550CB)/ 12c @ 3.6ghz (~2350CB).
This is what the difference between these two CPUs.
For comparison,
Ryzen 2700x scores (~1650CB @ stock) / (~1940CB @ 4.3ghz OC).
i9 9900k @ 5.1ghz scores ~ 2100CB.
2678v3 = 168 USD / 148 euro -> 3.1ghz all 12c (1900CB) / 3.3ghz 10c.
2690v3 = 325 USD / 285 euro
2695v3 = 317 USD / 279 euro -> 3.1ghz all 14c / 2.3ghz 12c.
2697v3 = 470 USD / 413 euro. (You can always bargain / negotiate on aliexpress)
Now, you decide which one to buy, this is why I said single xeon is not worth if you can get good deal on used 9900k or ryzen 2700x. Buying xeon is worth only if you're going to use more than 1 GPU (40 pcie lanes vs 16 +8 lanes), more than 64GB memory (64gb per slot vs 16gb per slot), multiple nvme ssd, quad channel memory (2133mhz in quad will give same bandwidth as 4200mhz in dual, such high speed memory will only work with 9900k, not sure about newer ryzen 9). If getting dual cpu mobo + dual 2678v3 (3700CB), then it can easily beat a highly overclocked 2950x in multithreaded workload. Dual cpu will have 8ch 2133mhz + 80 Pcie lanes. I have not used plex mp or streamlabs obs stream, but you'll be fine as streaming workloads uses multiple threads.
If you got 2690v3, then no problem. Its still a good cpu. 2697v3 is little better bcoz it can run 12c @ 3.7ghz which 2690 cant. Games and daily use apps love higher single thread performance. It beats 9900k and 2700x in multithread due to more cores.I decided to go for the 2690v3.

Yes, but i dont use this cpu with anything else than a Plex server, and OBS dedicated straming. There is no other apps or games running on it. U helped me alot.

Have you tried on xeon v4 ? If not then try it.You can write any value (up to 80x) with efi driver but xeons never goes beyond fused max ratio. HWinfo says it is "unlocked" but actually is not.

We did it before.Have you tried on xeon v4 ? If not then try it.
Hello,
would anyone be kind enough to make me a mod bios?
I tried on my asrock x99 extreme 6 and it has bricked my motherboard (fortunately there is a bios backup ^ ^)
I have a xeon e5-2696v3 and it would be cool to be able to use its full potential ^^
sorry if my sentences are not correct, I go through google translation ^^ "
I link the bios of my motherboard

thank you in advance
I make it 2 bios for your motherboard;
X99EX63.51 : Only microcode removed
X99EX63.52 : Microcode removed + C6 disabled on default + V3 efi driver injected to bios (-50mv) / (Untested)
X99EX63.51

Great!Great!!! it works !!!
a big thank-you
I put the 2nd and currently I am at 3.2Ghz on the 18 core without avx and 2.9ghz with avx.
I see you go up to almost 3.5Ghz with yours.
how did you do? it depends on something?
Indeed, it's less cool when it's not stable. It was mostly for the benchmark I imagine ^^Great!
I got 3.5ghz with -95mv but that was super extreme undervolting, so my cpu is also unstable at these values. Im now using daily -65mv @3.3Ghz
You're welcomeIndeed, it's less cool when it's not stable. It was mostly for the benchmark I imagine ^^
So, are my values good?
I say again a very big thank you for your help
It is necessary to recreate a bios or one can modify this value in the bios?You're welcome
I think you should try -65mv -70mv

Ok, it looks a little complicated. I think I stay on the one you made me. Will the gain be great if I go to -65mv -70mv? I thank you for your helpMaybe you can use bios menu for voltage offset because i didn't lock the msr on the second bios image.
or you can use first bios image + any efi driver you can find in this thread/github
When you find perfect voltage offset for your system, i can make another custom/injected complete bios image for you.
