Dual Xeon E5-2670s Benchmarks - Build The BEST 16 Core USED Workstation

2016-03-13
welcome back to tech yeah City this is brian coming to you guys finally with the showcase of my dual CPU 16 core 30 through threaded workstation which I managed to upgrade for around about 760 dollars however when I did the pre login the pre build a lot of people were asking questions about how does it perform in video games so I'm gonna be answering that question as well as the other question of how does it perform in a workstation environment also be doing power consumption figures for you guys and also detailing how much a build like this would cost if you were to build from scratch so without further ado let's get on with it don't come close I don't want you to see so this last test I'm going to do is just open up a premier project this is Premiere Pro Creative Cloud this is the latest edition and I'm just going to show you guys this is the project Juna kromm the actual vlog that I did it was a huge video massive video and it took a long like it was pretty rare very resource-intensive so what I'm gonna show you here is that this actually takes advantage of all the threads available like Premiere Pro will actually utilize even when you're editing and using this as a workstation Premiere Pro will utilize all your threads simultaneously so you can see here everything's loading up that's a lot of clips there to load up and we can watch here on the processes you can see that all those threads are just starting to get loaded up which is great news when it comes to not only rendering the final video out but also when you're working in a program like a Premiere Pro so there we go the benchmarks are finished and a lot of you guys were probably wondering is this worth it and the answer to that is an overwhelming yes like this is the best project I've ever done in my life not only was it unique but it represents in my opinion the best value for money you can get out there if you've got workstation productivity of mind now even if you are a gamer and you want to get some EP going on this thing still isn't bad value for money though I would recommend it to someone who has workstation orientation in mind as their number one priority and gaming second which is exactly the boat that I'm in and some of the things that I will recap on is that the memory not only that the CPUs phenomenal value for money but there's 64 gigabytes of ddr3 memory is absolutely phenomenal value for money as well and you see that I'm utilizing a lot of that memory when I'm in the work space at 4k and all the threads are being utilized as well in Premiere Pro so for someone with workstation productivity in mind this thing gets the biggest nod that I could ever say in terms of value for money now what about gaming when would you want to go with this set up for gaming I would say with dx12 around the corner it is a great CPU in the terms of value for money however the problem with it is is that the motherboards do get very expensive even in x79 single slot motherboard will set you back around about 150 dollars and at that price point you start to get into the realm of well should I get a 1231 Xeon and a cheap b85 motherboard and just call it a day and that's probably where I'd say yes since the power consumption on this dual CPU rig was quite high and even if you step it down to one CPU it will still be quite high due to that 12 times multiplier being the lowest multiplier so you saw there in idle temperatures or idle power consumption I was still pulling around about 200 Watts from the wall which is quite high for idling especially when you compare it to the four core variants or even the six core 5820k now some other lingering questions out there the zone RDG and also the raid 0 the zona DG was absolutely fine once I manually extracted a driver from the unified zone our pack and that's hasn't given me a problem since as for the raid 0 that is a question of risk reward everything in this world carries risk and for me the rewards far outweigh the risk in that I get more than double the speeds over a single hard drive and then I put them together and slice off the fastest petitions on both and that gives me more than double the speeds of a single three terabyte hard drive now what about some other problems and tuning this rig well there are two questions I was actually going to make a dedicated video for since I think a lot of people out there with workstation productivity in mind will want to jump on this deal so I will be coming out with another video on how to overclock ECC memory which is actually very easy on this board and also some other options that you can do to tune your rig to get the best performance out of it possible and that's about it from me today if you guys have any questions or comments about the dual CPU setup then be sure to drop a comment in the comment section below and I will quickly recap before I go productivity first gaming second this is really where this rig shines if you're a dedicated gamer than there are some much better options out there we're not much better but there are some better options out there in terms of value for money and also total performance so I'll put some links in the description below for you guys to check out where to get these parts from where to get an alternative secondhand build that will do really well in gaming and whatnot so if you like these videos please give it a big thumbs up and I'll catch you in the next one peace out for now bye man you've got an azuz sonar in there you've got a raid zero in a workstation dude this thing's gonna be dead in a couple of months someone on the internet said that a wide-angle converter is terrible well I guess if someone on the internet said it jeez it must be true what kind of what kind of name were you going for this there are a ton of great names for pcs out there you gotta lose crazy like transformer names for peace marvelous in Judah Kong
