Have you joined the cheap second hand Xeon master race yet?

>cheap xenons
are they any good or just a meme?
Need a CPU upgrade in the future

No, the cheap second-hand i7 and i5 one.

Going to buy a Haswell one later on.

Should I replace my 980x with a x5680?

I do some gaming.

>>62371104
I can afford Ryzen 7 so no

>Have you joined the cheap second hand Xeon master race?
No, because my Xeon was bought brand new.

There is a reason xeons are $30

They are garbage for everyday use, its a server cpu.

>>62372225
No they're not you ninny.

Xeons are for peons.

>>62371129
How cheap?

This. I got a i5-3550 for my HTPC, it cost only 40 €.

It matches current gen quadcore i5s in terms of performance, the only downside is the lack of USB 3 and SATA 3, but I don't notice it. It can even handle gaming if necessary.

>>62373561
Just Intel things

>>62372325
The i7 4790 system was $265 minus drives (which I mostly got for a steal, too)
i7 3770's were two for $200 and one for $175. Rest were $150 and under.

>>62374510
Complete systems? Not bad. My i5-3550, H61 and 6 GB RAM were around 60 € in total (But the 4 GB DIMM was for free).

Also I got HDDs for free, they have defective sectors, but they are still good for temporary storage and long-term backups. Even if they turn red, I'll store backups on them, so I have five backups lying around, if one fails my data won't be lost. I never throw away working hardware.

Yes, and it's comfy as fuck playing games and encoding FLACs to AAC while running OwnCloud and pfSense.

>>62374851
Aren't the mainboards expensive as fuck?

>>62375115
Not if you buy a used server. Mine cost $1200 and came with 4 1tb hard drives as well as 16GB ECC RAM.

>>62371104
Right here nigga!
>>62363316

>>62375160
But thats expensive as fuck. These use DDR3 ECC which is usually cheap, the processors cost around 50 € each. These HDDs were probably used as well.

I think the great times of the 2670 Xeons are over now, Threadripper 12-core should deliver similar performance on a single modern socket and price.

>>62375306
Keep in mind that was the price when I bought it 4 years ago. Other than the occasional extended power outage it's been running nonstop.

>tfw only found out about LGA775 Xeons a couple weeks ago
Really could have used that knowledge about 5-8 years ago.

Tempted to get v2 e5-2680s as Natex is selling them at 215 each and I have a board for them already.

i still have an L5420 build in a haf xb case
6GB ddr2, caviar black drives, ssd, radeon 7950

>>62375160
Dawg you could've gotten a much better deal, I paid 750 for 4 2tb drives and 128 gigs RAM.

>>62375385
When, what brand, and did it come with an LTO5 tape drive?

>>62375403
Shit, tape drives? Nah these were 5400 rpm HDD.

Intel S2600CPJ on a Chenbro chassis, Hynix ECC. Last year around March.

>>62371104
oh yeah xeons are so conv--*PAYS TWO GORILLION SHEKELS FOR THE MOBO*

>>62375432
Compare that to a 5U IBM tower and 15k SAS HDDs. It's old decommissioned enterprise shit but it was totally worth it.

>>62375454
It does sound sweet. Intel boards are a fucking pain to configure.

>>62375626
They might also have AMT/ME enabled. Most server boards replace that with their own and generally more secure remote admin functionality.

>>62373561
I just upgraded from a 3570 to an 1800x. Glad I went red on this one. Save a few fps in games which doesn't matter because I'm still running a pair of 290x, that chip is a fucking beast.

>>62372225
>its a server cpu
Christ, gamer kids are fucking dumb. That's just marketing, you dipshit, they're functionally the same exact shit as their desktop counterparts with a few extra features like SMP support, the reason they're $30 is because the market is saturated as fuck from companies that order them by the thousands dumping the entire supply on the internet all at once.

And for fuck's sake, how hard is it to capitalize an acronym like CPU? It takes literally half a second on the shift key to make you look like something other than a retard fresh off the boat from r/pcmasterrace.

>>62371104
Enjoy your housefires and those bills you dumb fuck

>>62371104
Been rocking a Westmere Xeon for 2 years, and it's finally feeling a little slow at 3.33GHz so I guess it's time to overclock it. I find it so sad that Intel decided that such high-binned silicon as the Xeons should no longer be eligible for overclocking. I might finally move off of Westmere and X58 in another year or so as my desktop, but if the mobo and chip still work, I'm sure they'll live on as a home server for several more years.

Oh sorry just a bad habit. I understand that 1080 is just an upscale.

>i7 4790 system was $265 minus drives
the whole system or just the CPU?

>>62371104

My storage server has a Xeon 3075.

Basically just a C2D E6700 but with support for multiple CPUs. It's not asked to do much and it doesn't run hot, I've been very happy with it so far. I should probably buy more RAM before it gets too hard to find DDR2 sticks though.

>>62375328
Then it was OK. This year brought huge leaps in terms of processing power.

>>62378001
Whole system.
GTX 970 was $120
Got an i5 4670k, RAM, mobo, 212 EVO, and case for $175
PSU for $50
Then bought an i7 4790 system for $250, swapped the processors, and flipped it for $330.

>>62378044
>GTX 970 was $120
wtf when was this 2015?

Why are xeons so cheap when they have like 20 cores and a 7900x is like 1000$? Are there any for a LGA 1151 socket?

>>62378066
No, April. Why would you think a 970 would be selling for $120 in 2015?

>>62378084
because they're very old from decommissioned servers, they also have really low single threaded performance

no, I don't think there are xeons for non HEDT or server sockets

>>62378099
last time I checked the second hand price for gtx970 was around 200 due to mining, but looks like it has crashed.

>>62378117
They were going for $180 when I got it. Looks like $190 now.

>>62378084
>>62378107

Older Xeons shipped on regular home sockets. >>62378022 is on an LGA775 board, for example.

>>62372156
meme, if you need a cheap computer just get an old business pc with sandy/ivy bridge for $40 not some shit xeon that's even older

Feels good men,

i7 920 to x5650, still need to push 4Ghz, I might try it soon I just got PUBG


Might be a slight bottleneck, but runs most games just fine,

>>62371104
No, I'm running a Ryzen 1700@4GHz

not yet. looking for a cheap e3-1275 (as in $30) to replace my i3-2100

>>62371104
Xeon E5450 here and RE7 barely used 55% of each cores @ stock. LMAO. 45$ instead of 960 as Intel's site

>>62371104
w3680 reporting in. Running @4GHz and sipping just 1.168v fully stable. Geekbench multi -16624. Bought this mobo on Valentines day '09. Pretty happy.
