Anybody still /x58/ here?
X58 thread. Just put this Xeon in today and it clocks to 4.1 at the same volts as my 920 clocked to 3.8. Very happy.
My man, I'm at 4.0 solid at 1.232v vcore so you can definitely drop your voltage and subsequently temps too. Going to replace the H50 soon and hopefully get 4.5 out of it but 4.4 requires 1.45v and the temps are ridiculous. Still a pretty solid platform and I can see it lasting me a good few years.
My x5650 was hitting 4.5ghz at 1.5v and it barely beat my 5820k at stock. The idle power consumption was around 250w. I live on the east coast us so that's about $.25 every hour I leave that shit idle/torrenting.
So I said fuck that.

x58 is comfy as fuck bro

4.0
I'll probably swap it out eventually but I have difficulty giving much of a fuck outside of a few cases where it's still not really a big deal.

Not bad for how old it is.
